Hello snarkpit peoples.

I was wondering if people could post there computer stats on this thread. I would just like an idea of what people have got out there in the world. Could you Please include the following information:

*Your Operating System (E.G Windows XP Home Edition)

*Your Processer Speed (E.G 2.0 ghz)

*Your Computers Graphics card (E.G 128mb)

*Your Ram (E.G 512mb)

*The resoultion you run HL1 at (E.G 1024x768)

*and other information that you think may be needed.

============================================================

[Only read the following if you have alot of spare time]

[Warning: Is off topic]

I'm asking because I need to know how Graphical my mod reddawn should be. At first reddawn was a project I thought I would do for fun and put on cd to my freinds at shcool who have the game. Than I noticed that the mod was actrully going really well. My brother thought that the storyline was great and my Dads Freind who Worked in the gameing industry (xbox and pc) and made software for the military and Quantas said that if I keep up the Consistancy of the storyline and the Quality of the levels that it will be better than the Original Half-life 1 Campaign. Now the mod is a serious project. Quite Serious. Its coming along really well. Who knows you may even see it in the shops.

Also look out for a thread that I will create soon. It will breifly explain redawn, I'll show you good guys some of the levels, and a sneak peak at some of the weapons.

Also if you are intrested in some voice acting for my MOD please email me at halo3myster@yahoo.com.au .

Thankyou I couldn't resist writing the above info. I said to myself that I will just shutup and create the topic when its ready.

Windows XP (Severly hacked up)

AMD 64 3500 so 2.2ghz (I think clock speed is unreliable seeing as my amd outperforms my old 2.8Ghz P4)

BFG Tech Nvidia 6600 GT OC 512Megs of Memory

1 gig of Corsair Memory

1200x1024 (something like that Highest res i believe)

I think this would be a good thread without any hooks just a what are your pc specs thread

Oh Yeah Forgot im very pleased with my system it runs Hl2 at 1024 by 768 Perfectly with everything on high


Why Do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties

Thx mr.insaine. I'm curious though do you think that 2.0ghz, 64mb graphics, 512 ram is enough to run half-life2.

But keep sending in your P.C stats. When you submit you p.c stats you are helping build reddawn belive it or not. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I think you need to get through your head that Half Life != Half Life 2.

If you're collecting statistical information on what hardware is being used with HL2, perhaps you should look at the hardware survey valve does on a continual basis. It covers all people who use steam, but that would imply something HL related at the moment.

And yes, his computer can run HL2.

The fact that you're asking at all means you haven't gotten very deep into the graphical abilities of the source engine. It's scalable, if you were curious. Which means you can support, graphically, down to a GeForce2. There are levels of model detail (maximums) that the game adheres to. When you create models (as well as textures and audio, for that matter) you can make models with different levels of detail. When you create the configuration file for the model you can put in LOD distances of when to switch to a lower level detail model. I believe, you have a section setting which one of these versions of the model is "low", "medium", or "high" when it comes to setting the model detail in the settings.

All of this means: you don't have to worry about it, start at the maximum graphical ability you want, then tone down the rendering as lower detail models.

Also remember that you can have very low detail modes look very high detail with normal mapping and other shader effects.

If you're making a mod you should know all of this. It would also be very silly to make a mod on the glorified Quake 1 engine, you would immediately be limiting your audience, for one thing. Also, as I understand it, the Source engine has more power, but at the same time, ALL of the abilities of the previous engine are retained, at least from a development standpoint.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

First of all the MOD is for half-life1, not the source engine, not the quake engine, not the any engine. Its For half-life 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1.

Also I am asking for peoples computer stats because I'm curious, I need this information for my MOD and I want to know how my shiny new laptop compares to you guys, pc's. THATS ALL SO SEND IN YOUR PC STATS. THANKYOU.

Okay lay off the caps lock. It doesn't make you look cool or anything.

Why did you then ask this question?

But in a generalized responce to your original question: All modern computers these days can run HL1 with no problem, whether it be in software or some form of 3D mode. You really shouldn't concern yourself with this issue (as we've stated many times in your past thread).

Of course modern computers can run half-life1 with no problems. Its just that my mod lags as Bi... and with my laptop it hasen't lagged. I just want to know who has what, If people are still living in Pentium2 days, weather I'm lagging behind, u know.

Like I can bulid reddawn to run on a 1 ghz, 256 ram, 16 graphics or like frikin 3.2 ghz duel core, 2 gigs of ram, and 256 graphics.

I asked about half-life2 because mr.insaine told us his stats and they are very similar to my stats and he said that he can run half-life2 good.

Anyway whats you computer status omegaslayer

Im afraid you'll s**t yourself when I say that im working off of an Apple computer. I run bootcamp windows so I can run steam and subsiquent games. Im one of the few who can run Halo on the computer without it so much as blinking.

Not that i followed this thread to well (eek), but... more information than you will ever need is in that link Crono gave you. Plus all the things everyone els said.

But sense you asked nicely.

AMD Sempron 2400 (1.67ghz) <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/crash.gif">
1 gig of ram
24 bit sound blaster card
ATI x16000 (512 ram)
1440*900 rez

A good story line is important but i doubt you top HL1. Besides, the majority of people don't like good movies. They like bad movies with simple entertaining plot lines. Higher a rap star to be the lead voice over in your mod. You'll make millions.

And i don't know about u, but i definitely do not have the attention span to complete a whole mod i my own. I be surprised if i don't take a month off hear or there while i build my one little DeathMach map.

lol thanks redwood.

Right now I am woking on the singleplayer campaign. Later on in the development I'm going to do some multiplayer maps, then I'm going to complete part2 of the campaign. This means adding in all the ambiant sound, charecter voices and monsters in reddawn. I'll also be completeing the unfinshed cinimatics in part2. Then after that I'll be working on the user interface and some other stuff.

My brother makes multiplayer maps and gives me some ambient sound and music for the mod.

I also have gears_of_war_man aka ash, makeing me some multiplayer maps when he grows in skill.

Keep sending in those computer specs

I'm just curious what you would do ... I mean ... I already have games where I go around shooting Russians. (Freedom Fighters ... oh lord, IO-I hurry up with that sequel!)

How is yours different?

I'll be honest here, if done right a Red Dawn game would be insane amounts of badass. But it depends on what you're doing.

If this helps:

AMD64 3200 CPU (Actual clock speed is around 2.2Ghz)
1GP 400 Mhz Ram
NX7900 GT 256MB
MSI board with an nForce 4 Chipset
250GB HDD Sata 3.0
8 CH SPDIF (Optic) in use with a Yamaha HTR-5930. Range: 60Hz - 20kHz (I have some speakers downstairs that cover that range, but go down to 40Hz) I believe the sound card just sends data straight through the spdif port so the receiver does most of the work.
20" 16:10 Widescreen monitor. The only resolution it supports without a disgusting effect is 1680x1050. It is also (supposedly) capable of 1080i, though, the max resolution would seem to negate that claim.

I don't think anything else in my machine matters.

It runs most everything smooth, but I've noticed a drastic decrease in performance since I built it (It's a software issue with Windows)
I'd like to upgrade a little bit. The AM2 socket stuff supports MUCH faster ram, which makes loading in Oblivion irrelevant (~20s for any map). But that stuff is still a little too expensive.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Thankyou Crono

I will go into furthur deatail about reddawn a little later (keep a look out for a reddawn thread) but if you want to know the true secrets about reddawn than you will just have to play it when the game is released. The current release date is December 22 2008 but that date is subject to change.

I can tell you now though its not a mod with no story line and you just go around killing bad guys (like Seven-Coop). I hope everyone likes it.

===============================================

Oh and crono you said " a Red Dawn game would be insane amounts of badass". Is there already a game called reddawn or a mod?

I thought there was enough of this on myspace.
Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2
Intel Pentium III Processor
1.00ghz, 512 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 Direct X 8

Half-Life 2 runs fine (nearly on full graphics) except for when things load. Same thing with Counter-strike: Source. In game I'm fine, but when a new map loads.. blah!
