i got a idea that might be a good one! how about all of the capes sway alitle in the breeze. but i dont know how hard it would be to do it would sure look cool (in houses it wouldent sway)

 

 

its more realistic

If that was implimented we would have to have trees moving in the wind aswell and stuff, good idea but i think the modeling would be hard

id have to say ABSOLUTLEY NOT. This would lag the server SO MUCH that people suchs as Hazor with 2 fps around water, lag out every5 seconds, its a good idea in theory, but it would have drastic effects on maybe half of the EL community

Eh? Lag the server? Nah. The graphics are done solemly on the clientside - no traffic for that (at least, only traffic for graphics would be where the players/bunnies are, but the calculations for the graphic are done clientside n e way - or at least, they should be done only there :P)

 

It would take down FPS on lots of comps I guess, so a turn it on/off button would be nice.

I think that it should be normally off, with an option to turn it on in ELconfig and the options window. This would probably be mainly for the people with better computers..

ANYBODY running a card with hardware transform and lighting will have very little-no extra stress on an idle animation like that.. I'm pretty sure every card since the TNT has it

If it was automatically on, it could turn off when people have low fps. like shadows
