[SC] UNOFFICIAL: DarkOrbit Revealed Archive

Okapi, how do you have time to go through those coding and stuff? It looks like a LOT of work

 

Looks can be deceiving

Takes about 5 mins to check servers and cdn for if any new updates have been pushed out. If there is then probably takes around 10 mins to extract them. The longest part is just writing up the posts and organising images in photoshop if there is a lot of new ones. Who process takes no more than half an hour.

 

All the .atf and .jxr files are back on test2 - which is a good sign the big optimization update will be soon!


In addition to that there is a new setting being added:

"setting_minimap_background_image"

So looks like we will be able to hide the minimap background image whilst still having the rest of the map background showing on the game screen, a feature that was requested by a lot of people

 

What Big Optimization Update? New Graphics engine or something?

 

It's not a new engine no, it's a change in file types and how they are loaded into the game. At the moment DO can only use your CPU for the game, yet I would say most people have both a CPU and a GPU in their computer - "regular" games like the ones you play on Steam use both CPU and GPU so are more efficient.
The optimization update will introduce a set of files which can be run on the GPU power and so free up the CPU a bit which should result in a boost on fps for almost everyone.

 

nothing about this?


i miss those techs :c

 

No, they are just unused art from a few years ago.

 

Well, that's good. Should reduce lag. Anything else the update does?

 

Not that I can tell but if anything else shows up I will add it to this thread as usual.

 

Alright. Great.

are the Influence points begin from 0 again

 

I don't know for certain but I would be very surprised if they weren't reset since some players already have millions from the last event when the values for TDM, SC and CTB were different so very unfair for the players who didn't do it last time.

 

Nice, any word on when Influence Event will come online again?

 

Sometime this month, almost all the assets like text logs and quests are ready for it just last few things need to be finished and put on the test server. The only things left to go on the test server for it is the OA and achievement icons.

 

Hope this Influence event isn't one-sided like the last one was.

 

I come to this forums simply because of this thread, it pains me when it was so quiet here for so long

Also, Okapai32, I know you mentioned you have information for upcoming possible update( Loyalty system ) but you are not allowed to post here because mods removed it. I was curious if there is some place that information can be obtained?

 

It's only especially quiet because of the Christmas break, although the change to forum languages a while back really did kill the activity a lot.
The reason I don't post it (not even 100% sure it was Loyalty) is because it was from test4 before it got password protected and what little I have posted from test4 it has been removed. I tried emailing support about it to ask if it was just certain aspects that shouldn't be posted or what but I got Kara where I was told I would be banned if I posted anything from any test servers so just gave up trying to find an answer lol.
The info can't be found anywhere else, at least I haven't posted it anywhere else.

No doubt it will be on some servers but then on some servers like SK1 about 75% of the top 50 players are all VRU and all in 1 clan so it can't be helped when companies dominate servers like that ^^
The company that does gates and hunts the most will win.

 

Is the new one gonna be exactly like the old one but with a fairer pt distribution system?

 

Apart from the changes to the scoring the only other thing is there are 11 Influence quests and the reward for them might be a fair amount of influence points, if there are any other changes for the Influence event they can't be huge since I think the changes would have already shown up on the test server by now.
