RoX TC: The Harbour of Belport

Posted: 2002-07-16 7:07 p.m.   Report Abuse This is a REALLY good level. The only problem is it is a little to short.

I've waiting for RoX for a long while now, and I re-installed MotS just to play it.

The map itself was well done, but a lot shorter than I had expected. Hopefully the next level will be larger.

Posted: 2002-07-17 11:10 p.m.   Report Abuse It's good, but the amount of slowdown is ridiculous. I'm on a 900mhz/32mb RADEON/128mb DDR machine, and I'm getting 20fps, tops. Mostly 10-20. Makes combat difficult.

Posted: 2002-07-18 8:32 a.m.   Report Abuse That's quite odd, seeing as I'm running a 650 mhz and it runs fine.

Posted: 2002-07-18 12:17 p.m.   Report Abuse I get it when looking at large areas (such as the harbour).

Posted: 2002-07-18 4:42 p.m.   Report Abuse I won't rate this. It would get like a 2, but I understand it's hard to make a level that works good for slow video cards when yours is fine. I have a 566 VooDoo 3 (outdated big time). Runs like turd. Probably 10 FPS. didn't actually check. I ccouldn't fight the guys in the boats, too bad of a framerate. But I did manage to snipe the reptile thing because I could look away from the docks while doing it. Now, the level looked great, dont' get me wrong. But I had 0 fun playing this level, hence the 2. But like I said, that's mostly my fault. I'm outdated, so the score will stay high. :D nice work anyway!

Posted: 2002-07-19 1:52 p.m.   Report Abuse No offense, but the level, as a whole was quite a disappointment. I'm not saying it was poorly made, heck it looked $\/\/@/\/|[, but the amount of slowdown was rediculous (in large areas only)! ): Again, no offense, I though it was something I had done wrong with the res (I was going at 1024x768) so I dropped it all the way down to the lowest possible res at screen size of 1, and I still got rediculous slow down. Provided, I don't run an insanely good machine, but I have tackled quite the monsters in the past [I can run JO (:] and never, ever really had a problem like this. To top it off, the level was quite short and there were a host of smaller problems with the text [for one, the text is orange, which is quite a strain to read when talking with the mariner, seeing as the cutscene is set against a *red* sky. To those who think I'm bashing - I'm not, I'm just giving my unbiased opinion based on what I have seen.

-Purty
-Interesting, fresh stuff
-A TC that is released
