Are some of the player models in Nexuiz more detailed than others? I ask because sometimes it seems like I get more slowdown around some player models than others.

I had a related idea to this. How's about the option to force low detail models? Basically this would replace all the high detail player models with a different player model, that is of lower detail. That way, if you prefer a higher frame rate, you can get one easier. This would also be of use for a dead bodies stay option.

This would need someone to make the low poly versions.

The playermodels are long overdue a major overhaul anyway, but again, good modelers appear to be in short supply in the foss world.

I'm not suggesting re-do every model, just have a few low-poly ones, and then have it switch all the high-res ones to those if you choose the low poly option.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Again currently most stuff is still controlled by the server so doing that stuff of 'model exchange' is like a ugly workaround..

So I guess there'll need to be that client-side code thing put in first? Do you know when that'll happen?

By the way are there any models that are already low-poly out there?

if it's low-poly you're looking for, here's one i'm working on.

only 234 triangles, that low enough for you?

lol. Actually something like the player models from Quake 1 or 2 wouldn't be bad. I think they look ok. You could have masses of corpses around with something like that. And if you wanted a kick-ass frame rate, having the option to switch all models to those would give you it on any system.

Zuristrad, that model is truly awesome
No, really
I'm not being sarcastic, it's ace

thanks rad ished.

@zuriastrad

I want that model, ASAP!

Hi btw

Damn. I wanted to that exact model.

wow, lotta love for the robot. i've made a thread here to avoid hijacking this thread.
