Does the fact that most of those entities are contained within a small area affect the FPS? Or is it purely the number?
I'll have to crank-up Moar Rocks, methinks. So far, 600-700 entities ain't a problem (nor should it be, on my rig).

I think that having them all close together might be a factor too, simply because the system will have to actually update their AIs and physically render them all. To what extent though, that I am not very sure of.
Edit to add: I guess also collision detection will shoot up crazy if almost all entities being checked are close to eachother.

Apologies if this is blatantly mentioned before - how do you get rid of the HUD for screenshots?

Pause, then "O". Same key brings it back while in pause.

Aaahhhh. Pause first! Didn't try that in all the years I have been playing!

To be precise, that should be lower-case.

If, like me, you take a lot of in-action screenshots, you can create a primable Hud Toggle OXP that doesn't need to be paused.
You'll need a
Config folder containing an
equipment.plist with this in it...
Code: Select all
(
(
5,
500,
"HUD Toggle",
"EQ_HUD_TOGGLE",
"Allows the HUD to be turned on and off in flight.",
{
"available_to_all" = YES;
"script" = "hud-toggle.js";
}
)
)
... and a
Scripts folder containing
hud-toggle.js with this in it...
Code: Select all
this.activated = function() {
player.ship.hudHidden = !player.ship.hudHidden;
}
Wrap both folders in an outer folder, name it
Hud Toggle.oxp, drop it into your
AddOns folder, buy it, and it should work.
Hope I've explained that clearly enough. All code courtesy of cim, of course.

Good idea! I added the code to my "personal" OXP, and it works. 50 Cr. well spent! I do prefer to have the HUD on forward view screenshots though, but this will be very useful for pictures taken from side and external views.

It has the added bonus of being cannon-fodder too - sweet!

A fight started between tough ships. Nice target...
I think I have enough firepower to win...
Yes! But... that was the fuel scoop only.
Yes again! But... that was the fuel injector only.
Then the energy unit...
Yes? No, just the ECM...
Then a laser...
Still looks well without subentities...
Another laser gone...
Finally said S.O.S. just before waporized. Phew.

I barely recognize Oolite in these screenshots!
