Will SoaSE ever support multiple threads, does anyone know?

On a side note I think this is a really positive demonstration of what might be... I mean how original would that be to have fleet battles with unit numbers ranging in the 10's of thousands.

It plays a little better without the UI, but still like 1fps.

SoaSE uses 25-30% CPU utilisation on one core not 100% on 1 of 4 when running your save game.

they will


it acually is running at 100%, though i dunno why it aint showing as 100% on one core.
Try and set the priority to realtime, then it will show 100% on one core but it aint getting better though

I was 1/2 awake, and realized this was the modding thread after i made the post Not enough coffee in my system yet. I check recent posts from the main sins page, and it doesn't tell you what topic they are in.

Dual core support is planned for sins. My laptop runs a Pentium dual core 1.7/1.7, and i can sure use that other 1.7 ghz. Right now it is a little choppy on high settings.

Does a 64bit OS improve upon the games performance? (other than being able to use more ram) Im running XP on my desktop, and vista 32 bit on my laptop.

I ran some performance monitoring tests as you see above:

- SoaSE is actually using 15 threads
- Some strange results regarding CPU utilisation, as you see no single core is maxed out at 100%, but the CPU % time of the SoaSE process is close to 100%

with what your saying, if i were to set it for only one core it will actually run slower? because even tho if it only where using 25% shared on 4 cores, that would make it alot faster.
I dont think it works that way, but i could be wrong

Ive tested this abit, and to the eye i dont see a change if i set it for 1 or 4 cores that share the workload.

Heh, thanks for this. I got 2 questions though:
1. When the ships are like that, are they just moving between planets? Im confused, don't you have to phase jump to get between planets?
2. So you modded it to get this many ships, this is exactly what I was talking about in the other thread regarding the cap. This has just allayed all my worries, as you just prooved its possible
3. (ok so I lied, 3 questions not 2 ). What does disabling the UI do? What do you actually see if you do that?

hehe your welcome

1. phase jump happens automatically when you exit a gravity well to go to another planet, asteroid/belt, the sun ect.

2. Blair even said it would be possible for 100.000 ships, just 10.000 at each planet ill try it soon

3. Disabling the UI means that we are just removing the control panel so to say, its good for screenshot

COMMAS MULTI, COMMAS!!!

a few more screenshots where the scouts gets in formation to jump, it will take atleast a few more hours until i have images of them jumping

why is there a huge wrinkle in your formation?

Europeans are wierd, they switch the use of period vs. commas in their number descriptions

the European way
100.000.000,00

the RIGHT way
100,000,000.00

its because the last few ships are getting into formation.



Aye Aye, and when we rule the world you all shall use periods... PERIOD

phew! I was beginning to worry about those periods, but if you have to invade first... I feel much better now.  

we can always count on the french for a preemptive surrender

and multi, 10k lvl 3 Sovas! GOGOGO!!!

alternatively, set raze planet and planet bombard dmg to 0 and get 10k marzas with raze planet

you know, I bet you could use a derivative of this engine to simulate atomized fluids... like a cascade of tennis balls, or something.

cept it would take half an hour for a tennis ball to find its way around another one -.-

(i know that didnt really make all that much sense, was mostly just to complain to the devs about capships getting stuck when they try to go around things, specially roids
