dertyjerzian Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 (edited) Tis now time to edit yon post 2 continue to be effective and organized: This is now a popcyc.dat thread. Stream.ini is useless. See below for Ashdexx's example of the uses of the popcyc.dat file. If a mod peaks in here, can you re-title this thread accordingly, at which time I'll edit this line out. Nah, I'll be like thanks yo! like right here tho. Edited June 19, 2005 by dertyjerzian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubConscious Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 are you sure? none of the settings i've changed have had any effect at all. i'll give your settings a try and take another look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dertyjerzian Posted June 19, 2005 Author Share Posted June 19, 2005 are you sure? none of the settings i've changed have had any effect at all. i'll give your settings a try and take another look I am also using another settings file now too, which may allow th game to run better? I saw someone had talked about it, but had mentioned editing more files in conjuntion with this one too. So I may be wrong, but that memory thing is definately more memory allocated to the game... I really can't say definately to that either to tell you the truth, unfortunately. My aim is to provoke conversation about this obviously useful file, and to find the person who I had seen talking about it and hear what its all about. EDIT: changing something in those floating point numbers changes it to supper bright, someone mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gta_matt Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Can we increase the memory more?If we do will it mean even better performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, you were the person I was talking to about this before. How much of an impact on framerate can this cause/does this cause on your gameplay?

DexX Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 not much, in terms of fps dropping. btw, i have my stream settings @ memory 51200 devkit_memory 51200 btw, the most cars i've ever gotten onscreen at once is around 30. so i dont know what else, if anything is capping the limit, but i dont think its possible to achieve the 50 i have in that file. still, i have deadly traffic jams (seriously, ever seen 20+ cars explode over 30 seconds? its hilarious!) and highway traffic that is almost impossible to weave at times..

Warlord2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 20-30 cars for me too but now i dont get that many anymore :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubConscious Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 any way to change the distance you can see cars from? 30 cars spread over a bigger distance would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, do u know if it will have a formattig problem if i just copy it, highlight the copied area, and paste it directly back into my popcyc? of course, I will be sure to back up or do u think I should change the int's by hand?
