Frame Rates? FPS display?

by Dee Mips · in ThinkTanks · 06/14/2003 (11:10 pm) · 6 replies

Hello...

excellent and very fun game, for sure.

I was wondering --

is there any way to display the frame rates / frames per second?

I tried to find some sort of console by hitting the ~ tilde key and all the usual sort of stuff, but nothing happened. Perhaps there isn't a console feature?

Bring up the console then type " metrics(fps); " (without the quotes obviously), this will bring tell the program to display the framerate into the viewport (ie. your screen).

open you're thinktanks folder, open main.cs, add the following line to the end of it:

GlobalActionMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "F8", "", "metrics(\"fps\");");

save it. Once you're ingame, push f8 to display your fps.

I have edited the main.cs file as instructed.
Hitting F8 gives nothing in the demos (Linux and Windows).

Perhaps this only works in the full version of the game?
