Enabling the hardware overlay will have a small effect on the graphics card memory bandwidth - but not huge - probably unnoticable in reality.


I agree that the memory requirements for an overlay can be noticable - espcially if running on a minimum spec 32mb graphics card. However, I would be surprised if it hit performance significantly. It may just mean that those minimum spec machines have to run at a slightly lower resolution and at a lower texture resolution to maintain performance.


Anyway, keep up the good work and get decal working again soon - whatever method you choose to use!

So is decal available? Not the full version working fully, but the text version?

<< So is decal available? Not the full version working fully, but the text version? >>


Has it been announced as being available on the sticky thread? Did anybody EVER give an ETA on it. Did we even say we were doing it for sure?


I suppose I should just ignore this silly post, but then we get blamed for not communicating. Communicating requires a sender and a receiver. I often wonder why we even bother sending when there are so many faulty receivers.

For every 1 that doesn't "receive", I'm confident there are 100+ that do. Thanks for the work and effort.

Buff Buff Buff, all I ever here is 'buff me' 'plz plz plz'

I'm not a typist, nor a robot.


Yeah I've been buffing by hand the past few weeks and I seem to

be developing a serious case of carpool tunnel buffitous! =(

OUCH!


I miss my BuffBott. ={


I would be happy to try out a text only beta version of Decal. =)

Gouru, I for one am glad that you are communicating. While I would like to see a decal that has only a text intreface for Salvaging and Ensiten (Not being able to set vunls would suck but I could edit the XML to add all the new critters and the Vulns for them.) And that would hopefully get ACTool working agian so my TinkerBot would be back up. It's great that you are making progress and when/if we get this "no graphical" release to help get things debugged is good with me. Just ignore the people who are not taking the time to read (although I have been guilty of this I am reading then re-reading your posts so that I get the full understanding of it before responding.)


Thanks for you hard work and time.

My response


DID anyone ever ask you to be so rude all you have to do is say NO. but you have to keep making remarks just say NO.

If you feel so bad about not getting responses then quit working on it. if you are looking for praise i think a ton of people give the decal personnel praise.


There will always be people that miss read or fail to read something so instead of baiting or being rude to them with you own comments you could be the adult and just answer the question with a simple NO.

Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.


I have a dream that one day this board will rise up out of it's ignorance and read the true meaning of of these posts. I have a dream that one day on the well-read boards of ACVault, the sons of decal devs will be able to sit down at the table of knowledge without having to suffer fools. I have a dream that one day, even the Decal Update Thread, a desert thread, sweltering with the heat of injustice and opposition will be transformed into an oasis of knowledge and discourse. I have a dream that if I am rude enough to the fools, they will get mad and leave, and make my dream come true. I have a dream today.

@emote goes to the fridge to get Gouru a drink from Captain Morgan's private stock...
