Transparent Grid

[head_hunter9866]

Do any of you guys know how to do a transparent grid?? Or if you have one could you post it?? And if you have strange textures post them too so people can be intrested on your textures!

Get "A Handful Of Audiosurf Add-Ons" and run the add-on "My Audiosurf". Enable the function "Hide the roads" from the category "Audiosurf settings" and voila!

Here's the thread with the download link:

You can do some other cool stuff with this add-on, such as enabling the banking cam without using a tag in your song title. It's worth trying!

I know but I don't know why the game slows down :S by the way do you have a similar sky sphere as this one?

[blue_h3x]

Nope, Google for space or nebula images.

The game might slow down because transparency is harder to draw than a solid surface.

With a skysphere or just transparent roads?

If you make a large skysphere, you have to realise how much texture space it takes up and as such lesser cards can struggle, especially if its dimensions are not power-of-two (256/512/1024/2048/4096/8192).
I'd suggest resizing and trying at 2048x1024 or something.

YAAP performance tip:

If you minimize it will stop doing a lot of things so it might improve your game's performance if your CPU is weak. I added this after Dylan added the Minimal graphics setting for netbooks.

Okay thanks by the way... I have paint but I was wondering if you have a better picture designer so I can create my own textures because I don't know how to put tile without white background :/

To name a few, too lazy to post links, so Google will be your friend.

By the way... I was wondering if you have some invisible cliff because it looks cool and a question... Can an invisible cliff slow down the game??

[blue_h3x]

Some of the textures I made have semi transparent cliffs. Anything which is larger or more complex will cause an increased load, and thus lower performance. Transparency requires blending of different colours which takes more power to complete. It's not quite that simple, but you'll get the gist.

What specs do you have?

Specs?? sorry I don't have good english.. :/

[blue_h3x]

Ah, sorry about that, I meant computer specifications.

1014 MB of RAM        1.60 GHz                DirectX 9         and thats all I know... if you need more, tell me what you need ok?

By the sounds of it, you have an integrated GPU, which would give lower performance for higher graphics demands. The engine AS is made with isn't know for it's optimisation and low resource requirements.
