CPU Usage

I actually like the 1/10th second counter... :p

Ian @ un4seen

Me too :D ... also the mod position, mpeg frame and ogg page counters would appear dead slow if the rate was cut.

Still... good to hear your problem's gone.

Tsorovan

Well, it couldn't be hard to make it dynamically change according to what time display you're using but I dunno...how about an option? Options are nice :) But aye, the main problem is gone, and I commend you for it! (Can't hurt being a tad sycophantic now can it? :D)

Just had to post this:
QuoteGah!  Tenths are good! *baps Retro* :P


*giggle* ;D

Tsorovan

Tenths are for sportsmen and other assorted neurotics :)

Zarggg

Yes.  Yes they are.  And that's why we want them. ;D

Torkell

:idea: You know, Ian could always have an "opt-out" facility for tenths for those of us who would like to reclaim a bit more CPU power. It won't hurt anyone to stick an option in an INI file...

*looks at previous posts*

*forsees flame war over tenths*

Erm... nice posters... nice posters <growling noise in background>

There already has been some discussion about the tenths a while back:

Tenths of second; deleting file (suggestions)

Personally, I like them. :D

Do you guys also have seconds shown in timestamps in for example IRC and ICQ clients? :)
Alright, alright, I'll stop nagging. For now. Rest assured I'll revisit this later.

Well, my Trillian timestamp is set as [yyyymmdd.hhmmss], so yes. ;D

:laugh: This is just hilariously ironic.

Seriously, though, I do use 1/10th seconds to accurately cue my .LRC files, and the only other method I have is my sister's walkman, which is in NYC at the moment. ;D

Old topic, I know, but I thought I'd add my two cents.

I just played UT on a Celeron 300 running at 450, with a Voodoo 1 card as renderer, XMPlay was playing in the tray, and there were no problems on my win2k besides the little crackles it would give due to my crap drivers.  But they weren't too frequent at all.

Come to think of it, I've tried having it run with various games (Q3A, UT, Worms World Party, Worms Blast, Tiberian Sun) and have had no problems other than lagged response (press the global hotkey and a second later it changes track), and ocassionally it drops out for a bit, like when listening to a stream over a slow connection.

BTW, one of these days I'll have to challenge you to Unreal Tournament, Ralesk. I wonder who will come out the victor...

Olego

Hey, mind if I join in?   :)

Should we start the [XMP] or [U4S] clan or something? ;D ;D ;D

Torkell

Yeah, why not? The clan page can be hosted on this site as well...

QuoteUn4seen.com: home of XMPlay, BASS audio library, and clan [XMP]! Let the fragging commence! 8)

If we start it up then how many people should we have and what games? So far it looks like we have me (BoggyB), Olego, Kynes and Ralesk in. It'll certainly be UT, but what about other games... (Q3A, UT2k3, CS, etc, etc)

I used to have UT, but if I get another copy... I'll be willing to join in. :)

I have UT2k3, but it's slow as hell on my computer, and it hangs on my parent's XP box. *shrug*

XMP

[XMP] looks neater than [U4S].  It is easier to type, too.  And I am all for the idea.  I prefer UT to UT2K3, the later is like Quake III to UT.  ;D  But yea, go clan XMP.  Ian, do you approve?  And can I recruit yet?  :P
