@quartata Yeah. I wonder how it compares with Minecraft, though.

Dennis

3:18 AM

@El'endiaStarman ._.

quartata

@El'endiaStarman well considering it actually was written by programmers who knew what they were doing

I actually get better FPS in CS:S usually than in Minecraft.

El'endia Starman

hmm

Investigation needed.

quartata

You can do cl_showfps 1

to show your fps

I'm getting 100+ fps right now

Whereas I normally get 40-60 in Minecraft.

El'endia Starman

Oh, fps was fine. No stuttering or anything.

I think it's like a fault in the graphics card is hit and causes a crash or something.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata bai!

> If you work on the number in groups of three digits, you can represent each triplet in 10 bits with very little wastage. Then you "just" need to create a stream of 8-bit octets from your stream of 10-bit triples, which will require a certain amount of bit-shifting, but is not awfully complicated.

just help I'm so confused ._.

El'endia Starman

@El'endiaStarman Yes

Doorknob

@PhiNotPi um, the featured tag is still there this time though O_o

trichoplax

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ It just means taking your stream of bytes and considering it as a stream of bits, and chopping it up into chunks of 10

PhiNotPi

@Liam Assuming that you're the new follower, considering listening to some of my other stuff. It's of varying levels of completeness.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Yes - you may need to add padding bits to make up to a multiple of 8 otherwise you'll be left with a fraction of a byte at the end of the stream
