[Requested]My config.xml for graphics best suited for aiming + minimising fps lag

[Archetype]

This topic is about increasing your FPS. Most low FPS is caused by "gameguard" & bad computers and this is aimed to tackle that problem.

[RCFG] - Archetype's recommended config.xml


If you care about good graphics in gunz this is not for you.

With this config.xml made by me personally, IJJI GunZ - even with gamguard - can run smoothly on, for example, my crappy 6 year old dell pc! I play with a (somewhat) consistent 50 FPS and manage to maintain a reputation as one of the top players - so you should be able too as well if your skill is great enough!

Instructions:
1) Locate C:\ijji\ENGLISH\Gunz\ and open the "config.xml" file in notepad. Copy and paste this over the existing part in your config.xml file:

	<VIDEO>
		<WIDTH>640</WIDTH>
		<HEIGHT>480</HEIGHT>
		<COLORBITS>8</COLORBITS>
		<GAMMA>255</GAMMA>
		<FULLSCREEN>TRUE</FULLSCREEN>
		<REFLECTION>false</REFLECTION>
		<LIGHTMAP>false</LIGHTMAP>
		<DYNAMICLIGHT>false</DYNAMICLIGHT>
		<SHADER>false</SHADER>
		<CHARACTORTEXTURELEVEL>2</CHARACTORTEXTURELEVEL>
		<MAPTEXTURELEVEL>8</MAPTEXTURELEVEL>
		<EFFECTLEVEL>0</EFFECTLEVEL>
		<TEXTUREFORMAT>8</TEXTUREFORMAT>
		<NHARDWARETNL>false</NHARDWARETNL>
	</VIDEO>

2) Run GunZ as usual.

Notes:
o If you attempt to change ANY options in-game, it will mess up your config.xml - see [ECFG] to learn how to change your options through config.xml

CHANGING THE KEYBOARD SETUP THROUGH CONFIG.XML

the keys are represented by scan codes

the scan codes are simply a number, so you find which key you want, see the number next of it, and put that number

here is list:

 1   ESC                               44   Z

36   J                                 79   1 END        (KEYPAD)
37   K                                 80   2 DOWN       (KEYPAD)

39   ; :                               82   0 INSERT     (KEYPAD)
40   ' "                               83   . DEL        (KEYPAD)

42   LEFT SHIFT                        88   F12
258 LEFT MOUSE BUTTON                  259 RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON

so for an example if you wanted to change your key for reload you would first go to config.xml and find the part which says

<RELOAD>(a number will be here)</RELOAD>

then you would look at the above list and could see that 'Q' is beside the number 16 therefore you would replace the number between <RELOAD> </RELOAD> with the number 16, like so:

<RELOAD>16</RELOAD>

this would give the 'Q' key the function of reloading

CHANGING THE RESOLUTION


if you would like to increase your resolution because you dont experience fps lag in 600x480 and wish to try a higher one, or if you simply dont like how the text squashes together, you can increase it like so...

just copy + paste the codes over the appropriate part in config.xml

800x640 resolution (id recommend trying this first):

		<WIDTH>800</WIDTH>
		<HEIGHT>600</HEIGHT>

if that doesnt effect your fps you could try going higher to 1024x768:

		<WIDTH>1024</WIDTH>
		<HEIGHT>768</HEIGHT>

you can go as low as 400x300 resolution and as high as in this way 1600x1200, IIRC, play around with it if you want to find the right one for you - but the numbers must remain at a 4:3 ratio otherwise it will cause an error

[DLFI] - programs to reduce gameguard-induced FPS lag

DEXLAUNCHER NO LONGER WORKS

---

PANCHIRA'S:
this program makes the priority of gunz.exe high and reduces the priority of gameguard to low:
http://www.gunzfactor.com/forums/att...rd_lag_fix.zip

Instructions:
1) Run Panchira's (from any location).
2) Run GunZ while Panchira window is open.
3) It will detect Gameguard and make some alterations to it's priorities.

[Esprite]

good thing effect still on high!

i was gonna start using rockets against you :<

but i don't need that cause my comp is *** pro!

[Tenkuu]

it sux playing on 640x480 that's all i can say..

thnx anyways

[uKake]

Its boring to play with those gfx.

[skinnyoddboy]

I might try it i get alot of fps lag zzz

[Archetype]

well i just posted it since i had like 8 unread PMs about my config.xml this morning after i said in some topic i posted an ss "pm me if you want"

[ultra_violence]

Cool, thanks. I'll try this when I get home. I also have another idea with editting some other stuff. If it also works in conjunction with this I'll post it.

[0ofutureo0]

good contribution thx, Now my turn to give tip.
U sound player ? blindfold yourself for 1 day k?

[Ominous]

the resolution is 640x480 which might seem weird at first but you quickly get used of it

Fk that, 1280x1024 minimum please.

[PurpleSage]

can you keep resolution the same but have those graphics?

[Matt[CV]]

I tried it, is interesting.

[TheoBell]

Is supergreat but Dungeon seems to have the same texture for everything -it`s really hard to navigate

[Ominous]

All you need is pencil outlines and you would be set. (Just like some codes in older games )
