Have you ever read the Mars series of books? Your name seems familiar

Yeah I got the name, minus a L, from the books. A bit OT but: back in ye olde 90s, when I was first registering for something online I wanted SaxRussell, but it was taken, so I just dropped a letter and have stuck with that since, heh.

Will there ever be a realistic and feasible way of breaking the 30 fps cap?
If you mean 60FPS it's 99% no, but i think 35-40 it should be ok-ish.
Durante already get 60FPS working but everything was 2x faster.

Lol.
Are you trying to get the UI to scale? That'd be pretty useful I think, it's a little bit too big right now.
Fun development story time!
I just spent 30 minutes trying to fix a "bug" whereby the spell icon was drawn at reduced luminosity when I was manipulating the HUD.
Then I realized I didn't have my focus equipped.

I started playing around with it a week or so ago. It wasn't until yesterday that I found a way to feasibly do itzephervack said:Happy you are starting to play around with position and size

lol, that sucks, happens to every developer though, cant help but just laugh.
Also, damn im excited about the HUD fix, so excited. This is crazy but would it be easy to add an opacity % to it?

hud scaling oh god yes
Version 1.3 is now out.
There are still some issues with the HUD options (in particular, subtitles and damage number location during battle).
You can read more in the link above.

Getting to grips with the game and mod. Looking good so far. Using the basic settings currently and it holds 30fps most of the time, expect when monsters throw loads of fire at me.

I have checked the readme but I am not sure what I should really tweak to make things a bit better.

this was the one I've been waiting for, bless you Durante.
I can't make the game run at 60 FPS
Ugh, probably forgot releasing some surface again.
Will be fixed in 1.4. My plan is not to add any new features before the open source release anymore, just one more pure bugfixing release.

Makes sense, I wasn't fighting a boss during testing
Note that you can set a keybinding for switching on/off the HUD adjustment, so you can work around such issues.
The whole HUD stuff was/is highly tedious to implement, maybe I'll make a blog post about it tomorrow. "The steep road to HuD adjustments" or something like that.

Some 1.3 feedback:
Hope that helps. Looks like it really was a pain to implement - as things get more complex, more little bugs and glitches enter the system.
- Boss health bars just appear as a yellow bar, no name is shown.
- Damage values are drawn far left from where they usually are (above the enemy's head).
- Subtitles aren't displayed correctly, they appear cut off at the start on the bottom right of the screen.
- If you have the bottom left HUD scaled and only display items/spells and you press any d-pad direction, the square where they should originally have been lights up for a second (it's the visual indicator for toggling).

Lol.
are you going to do a Mario Kart mirrored track version of Dark Souls?

You can edit it in the .ini, each corner of the screen can have it's own opacity setting.
You can configure that.

Hey I'm hoping for some help. I'm trying to make a high res loading loop, but it bugs out after it loads first.
On the first load, it looks like this:
But the next load screen for when starting into the game, it looks like this:
I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong for this to happen. I think it's happening because the image is 4x the normal size, but I'm curious why it works great on the first load but terribly on the second.
Here's the actual texture file.

That's for the .Gif to .Png converter, I saw that thing yeah. The thing I'm confused by is that it looks perfect on the first load, and messes up on the second, so I'm wondering if there's something to change that would make it always look like the first load.

I'm also crashing when I Alt+Tab on 1.3. And at 2880x1620 the HUD mod kills my performance, normally I get 30 even in Blighttown, but with the [extremely sexy] HUD I get 15 even in Firelink.

one very minor bug I noticed with 1.3:
when a cut-scene finishes it leaves a weird artifact on the upper left quadrant of the screen which fades a few seconds later.

Is this only with the HUD modification enabled?
Yeah, I know about this, I don't (yet) know why it happens though.

yup, I just checked with it off and the artifacting doesn't occur.

My performance at 2560x1440 is fine with the HUD mod so far. I even forced SLI to up my farmes at bonfires from 15 to 30. I cannot spot any difference with the game's bloom either (i am using the planetside 2 compatibility bits in case people are wondering).
Thx for the the update Durante!
Jepp same here also. Looks really good thou, but I wont use it because it takes to much power.
