This thread good info for a readme!

Honestly, if you find that Myth already works great for you, who cares if there's some option somewhere? It's already running fine! I like to know everything :) And, as a programmer, I'm detailed-oriented, so I like to know all the details :P Incomplete documentation always bothers me. And, sure, I...

...if the switch were ON and the framerate never dropped below the minimum bungie approved threshold it would never even bother checking the reduce renderer load switch. Interesting theory. But people have reported increased frame rates when this is checked, and your theory doesn't explain that. An...

Re: GETMYTH .com and .net

if get myth is gonna be the link... which one or both... Hmmm. As they stand right now, I like the .com better, though they both need fixing. I already posted what Magma should change, as for .net...I kind of don't care for it's organization, though there is lots of info if you do click-around. I H...

I can't play .wmv's...but congrats. (I'm on a Mac, and while my full-time job is programming under XP, I consider Microsoft products to be a bit too unstable, resource-hogging, & unsecure, so I won't load any Microsoft products on my personal system unless I REALLY need them...and so far, I've n...

Regarding donations, magma does indeed accept donations to cover things like domain name registration, and hosting costs. Good. Can we Paypal it to an email address or how do you accept them? You need a "donate" link on your site. >It's highly unlikely you will get any kind of feature pro...

I'm not intentionally nagging for someone to fix this, it's meant as a simple question, and maybe someone will say "Hey, that sounds like a good plan, maybe something for the next patch." Ok, yeah, I get that...I do that too. >And for donating; would you donate?? Doesn't sound good to me,...

zagon666 on PMNet forums had a good idea in my thread "A map/units that could attract new Myth players?" Another way to promote Myth...try to get Bungie to post something on their homepage about the 10 year anniversary. My comments on zagon's idea...maybe Bungie could also mention the pote...

My completely undeducated guess is that 'reduce renderer load' is... Good guess. Maybe right. You'd think then that once you check it, you'd see a difference in the graphics (if there is no difference, and no trade-off, it wouldn't be an option, it would just be the permanent behavior). No one usin...

I think 100% of all posters here think that Myth should be taken far beyond the borders that were set by Bungie back in '97. It is already so much more and people are still discussing about high res units, high res landscapes and 3D models. I think this is a minor issue that should be taken serious...

Re: set some standards....

Recomended... what do you think... movie size 640x480 320x240? file format? .mov .avi .wmv ? If you look 4 posts back in this thread (just go higher up on this page) at my lengthy post, I recommend size, formats, codecs, etc. >a link tag in the video would be good as well... to post on myspace, goo...

A discussion about "reduce renderer load" can be found at Yeah, I'd read that, and another thread that came up, but they told me essentially nothing (just "I checked it, it worked faster"). What is this option doing? Is it a magic "make the game work faster" mode? If s...

technically one shouldn't be able to see ANY part of the map unless a unit is nearby - and that should include trees, water, terrain, buildings, projectiles, etc. You could rationalize trees, water, terrain, buildings etc by thinking that your forces had a regular map at their disposal...or had pre...

So...no one knows what "Reduce renderer load" does?

Anyone know why you would want to "Hide underwater objects"? Save on graphics load?
