hi all,

first post and the first 'big' thing i'm building is this sub:



It's got 2 front and 2 aft torpedo tubes.

the problem with this thing is that it has too many parts so my pc is getting very very slow ...

any tips on that? setting the video settings to low doesnt help ...

Super parent tool :) but only parent when the Sub is actualyl finished, have one big heavy centre prop nad parent everything to that :D

note: i'm belgian i'v got limited english :p

i think its getting slow cous everything is constantly colliding to eachother?

so "parenting" it to one big heavy thing makes it sturdier so it doesnt collide?

and i havent done the rear, engines, rudder,and interior so i'll wait with that before sending it out to sea

Super outil de parent, mais seulement lorsque le parent Sub est actualyl ont terminé, un centre de lourdes grosses prop nad parent tout à cette

Super tool ouder maar alleen de ouders als de Sub is actualyl klaar is, hebben een grote zware centrum prop nad ouder alles aan dat

Sorry if it doesnt make any sense, used google translator

no it didnt make any sense lol

i dont speak french but i speak dutch, and the google translator sucks at dutch

[Wickerman123]

Yes everything gets slow becasue of all the collisions, but parenting solves that, but if you have any moving parts, do NOT parent them, or esle they won't move.

good luck :)

can i parent the shell now?

cous i only get 5fps and its impossible to do the interior now, and can u then parent again?

or can i parent two big shells seperate then weld them together and parent it into one big thing again?

[Cantido]

Make sure you have the PHX3 SVN. I would redo the shell in white tile because it lags less. Once the shell is complete, multi parent the shell to a basic outline of the sub. That way you can still walk inside of your sub without the shell being welded to one big prop in the way.

[128MB]

redo the whole thing >_>

[G-Foxx]

Use nocollide tool on whatever seems be hitting
Use a big long heavy thing and weld everything to it
Don't parent shit or it will suck nut

Go to a good server like sax's, ggg or nodex or whatever and ask them to show you how to parent stuff.
However, Nodex doesn't use the regular tools, so going to sax's or something might be a better idea.

gmod runs at 1920x1080 on the highest details with 4x AA and full HDR and it never lags unless i build something huge like the stupid sub or have 100 barrels explode at the same time.

Neem zo groot mogelijke onderdelen, anders zal uw pc onnodig vertraagt worden.

Als u constant 2x1 gebruikt en niet de langere 4x2 dan zal Gmod meer onderdelen moeten laten bewegen en zal uiteindelijk er mee stoppen.

haals de gebraut langere niet meer laten noob mee Rusty the cowboy sigaret.

Use the largest possible parts, otherwise it will be unnecessary and it will slow down your PC.
If you use the 2 x 1 and not the longer 4x2 more parts will need to be rendered and will eventually cause a crash.

^ Agreed + mat it and sink some vanilla around it.
also its not bad for a noob

You don't need many addons to make something good, just get creative. Given the combine props alone, people have made many good things, like ships, walkers, mechs, etc. Just look on Youtube and learn from their work.

Ram Keeps memory but i loses it when it loses electricity. Eg. Shut Down. So to make the ram keep the memory, it has to be electrified constantly.

Then my mission was accomplished. Now to steal your adrenal gland and sell it to drug addicts.

Besides if he materialized it and you were far enough away it wouldn't look soooo bad.

EDIT: Wait.. why the hell is this sitting on land? Put it in the water or it fails
