Solution of problems. Paint the Town Red v0.9.13 r3981 - game under development Paint the Town Red lags

Finally, we have reached the most interesting part of the guide - creating, editing and customizing opponents.

To go to editing the NPC, you need to select main panel
button Edit Characters, or press 3 .

To place an enemy, you need to press the C key.

The position of the Player on the level is also editable in the character customization mode

Enemies are initially generated completely random and have a random set of characteristics and skills, a random type and a random weapon in their hands. Therefore, you will have to change and refine any opponent if you want to achieve a good result..

Enemies, like the whole environment, can be copied with the command ctrl+d. If you need the same NPCs, then use this

Adjusting Enemy Stats

Let's create any enemy. By clicking on the enemy, you will see a window with setting its parameters.

Enemy Type- type of opponent, who he really is

Appearance- the appearance of the enemy, the way the player sees him

Please note that there is a difference between enemy type and appearance: Appearance is only responsible for texture, while enemy type is responsible for skills, animation and attributes (more on that later).

body type- Body type. In total, 3 types are available to you.

animation- character animation. Animation refers to what position the NPC will be in and what he will do (smoke, sit, cut food) before the fight begins.

Faction- The faction of the character. In order for the NPCs to start the battle exactly with each other (or vice versa, not to start if they are at the same time), they must be "in different teams". That's what the faction is for.

In total, 6 independent teams and the player’s team are available (members of his team have a friendly emoticon above their heads)

===============================================================================

Enemy abilities

Personal properties of characters:

Attacks Player First: when the battle starts, the enemy will immediately attack the player without looking for other opponents.

Can be Knocked Down: Determines whether the Player is capable of knocking this opponent down with a kick or uppercut, or whether the opponent can fall.

Survives Brain Damage: Determines whether the enemy is able to survive a fatal blow to the head (for example, a shot in the face, a headshot with a knife, katana, shuriken, etc.).

Drops weapon on Knockdown: Determines whether the enemy will drop their weapon if it falls, or if it remains in their hand.

Can Pick up Weapons: Determines whether the enemy can pick up various weapons and use them.

Has weapon: Determines if the enemy has any weapons in their hands initially. If yes, then you must choose which one.

Each enemy has its own personal parameters, such as Health, Attack Power and attack speed

Health
Changes from 0 to 50.
If you immediately chose the value 0, then the enemy will be dead from the start of the level. In this case, the battle will also start immediately. This can be used as a scenario element (such as a torture chamber), as an excuse to start a fight, or even as a way to get special attacks right from the start.
If you chose a value of 50, then you will have to kill for a very long time. Even the katana boss doesn't have that much health.

Attack Power
Changes from 0 to 10.
If you immediately chose the value 0, then the enemy will not deal any damage generally, but will still be able to knock down your Special Attack gauge.
If you chose a value of 10, then you will be killed in one hit.

attack speed
Changes from 0 to 5
If you immediately chose the value 0, then the enemy can't attack.
If you chose a value of 5, then you will be thrown at the speed of Neo

You are a special agent who has been introduced into a dangerous gang. Unfortunately, you have been discovered, and now, in order to survive, you must destroy all the criminals. You don’t have to rely on firearms, use your fists and other improvised means to fill the faces of all the bandits. Entering the club, you will have only one chance to survive - you need to kill everyone! Use a wide variety of items, ranging from a cue to a chair leg. The graphics in the game are made in the form of squares, even billiard balls, and those are square, just like the blood and heads of your enemies. Because of this, the bloody scenes look provocatively and insanely funny.

In the near future, the developers promise to add new locations and new crazy scenes. Paint the Town Red is a great game to relieve some stress and channel your aggression in the right direction.

System requirements:
✔ Operating system: Windows XP (SP2), 7, 8, 10 - only for 64 bit!
✔ Processor: Intel Dual-Core 2 GHz
✔ RAM: 2 GB RAM
✔ Video card: DirectX 9c, Shader Model 3 GPU with 512MB Video RAM
✔ Disk space: 2 GB

Unfortunately, there are flaws in games: brakes, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not very errors. Often problems begin before the game even starts, when it won't install, won't load, or won't even download. Yes, and the computer itself is sometimes weird, and then in Paint the Town Red, instead of a picture, a black screen, control does not work, no sound is heard, or anything else.

What to do first

Download and run the world famous CCleaner(download from a direct link) is a program that will clean your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
Update all drivers in the system using the program Driver Updater(download via direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to the latest version in 5 minutes;
Install Advanced System Optimizer(download from a direct link) and turn on the game mode in it, which will end useless background processes during game launch and increase performance in the game.

The second thing to do if you encounter any problems with Paint the Town Red is to check the system requirements. In a good way, you need to do this even before the purchase, so as not to regret the money spent.

Paint the Town Red minimum system requirements:

Windows XP SP2, Intel Dual-Core 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 1GB HDD, DirectX 9 700 MB compatible, 9.0c, Keyboard

Every gamer should at least have a little understanding of the components, to know why a video card, processor and other things are needed in the system unit.

Files, drivers and libraries

Almost every device in a computer requires a set of special software. These are drivers, libraries and other files that ensure the correct operation of the computer.

It's worth starting with the drivers for the video card. Modern graphics cards are produced by only two large companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product spins the coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the package of fresh drivers:

A prerequisite for the successful functioning of Paint the Town Red is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to easily and quickly download the latest drivers and install them with one click:

If Paint the Town Red does not start, we recommend that you try disabling your antivirus or put the game in the antivirus exceptions, and also check the system requirements again, and if something from your assembly does not match, then, if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful accessories.

Paint the Town Red has black screen, white screen, color screen. Solution

Problems with screens of different colors can be roughly divided into 2 categories.

Firstly, they are often associated with the use of two video cards at once. For example, if your motherboard has an integrated video card, but you are playing on a discrete one, then Paint the Town Red may run on the built-in one for the first time, while you will not see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.

Secondly, color screens happen when there are problems with displaying the image on the screen. This can happen for various reasons. For example, Paint the Town Red cannot work with an outdated driver or does not support a video card. Also, a black / white screen may be displayed when working at resolutions that are not supported by the game.

Paint the Town Red crashes. At a certain or random moment. Solution

You play for yourself, play and here - bam! - everything goes out, and now you have a desktop without any hint of the game. Why is this happening? To solve the problem, it is worth trying to figure out what the nature of the problem is.

If the crash occurs at a random point in time without any pattern, then with a probability of 99% we can say that this is a mistake of the game itself. In this case, it is very difficult to fix something, and it is best to just put Paint the Town Red aside and wait for the patch.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash. In addition, you can download the Paint the Town Red save and bypass the departure point.

Paint the Town Red freezes. The picture freezes. Solution

The situation is about the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather, to the developer's mistake when creating it. However, a frozen picture can often become a starting point for investigating the deplorable state of a video card or processor.

So if the picture in Paint the Town Red freezes, then use the programs to display statistics on the loading of components. Perhaps your video card has long exhausted its working life or the processor is heating up to dangerous temperatures?

The easiest way to check the loading and temperatures for the video card and processors is in the MSI Afterburner program. If desired, you can even display these and many other parameters on top of the Paint the Town Red image.

What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and video cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards, they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. The processors are slightly lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the condition of the thermal paste. It may have dried out and needs to be replaced.

If the video card is heating up, then you should use the driver or the official utility from the manufacturer. You need to increase the number of revolutions of the coolers and see if the operating temperature drops.

Paint the Town Red is slow. Low FPS. Frame rate drops. Solution

With stutters and low frame rates in Paint the Town Red, the first step is to lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are a lot of them, so before reducing everything in a row, you should find out exactly how certain settings affect performance.

Screen resolution. In short, this is the number of points that make up the picture of the game. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is negligible, so reducing the screen resolution should only be the last resort, when everything else does not help.

Texture quality. Typically, this setting determines the resolution of texture files. Decrease the quality of textures if the video card has a small amount of video memory (less than 4 GB) or if you are using a very old hard drive with a spindle speed of less than 7200.

Model quality(sometimes just details). This setting determines which set of 3D models will be used in the game. The higher the quality, the more polygons. Accordingly, high-poly models require more processing power of the video card (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), which means that this parameter should be reduced on video cards with a low core or memory frequency.

Shadows. They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are calculated in real time every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. In order to optimize, developers often abandon the full rendering and add a pre-render of shadows to the game. They are static, because in fact they are just textures that are superimposed on top of the main textures, which means they load memory, and not the core of the video card.

Often, developers add additional settings related to shadows:

Shadow Resolution - determines how detailed the shadow cast by the object will be. If the game has dynamic shadows, then it loads the core of the video card, and if a pre-created render is used, then it “eats” the video memory.
Soft shadows - smoothing out bumps on the shadows themselves, usually this option is given along with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.

Smoothing. It allows you to get rid of ugly corners at the edges of objects by using a special algorithm, the essence of which is usually to generate several images at once and compare them, calculating the most “smooth” image. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms that differ in their level of impact on the performance of Paint the Town Red.

For example, MSAA works head-on, creating 2, 4, or 8 renders at once, so the frame rate is reduced by 2, 4, or 8 times, respectively. Algorithms such as FXAA and TAA operate a little differently, achieving a smooth image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. Because of this, they do not reduce performance as much.

Lighting. As in the case of anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. All of them use the resources of the video card, but they do it differently depending on the video card itself. The fact is that the HBAO algorithm was promoted mainly on video cards from Nvidia (GeForce line), so it works best on the “green” ones. HDAO, on the other hand, is optimized for AMD graphics cards. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting, it consumes the least resources, so in case of brakes in Paint the Town Red, it is worth switching to it.

What should be lowered first? Shadows, anti-aliasing, and lighting effects are usually the most stressful, so it's best to start with them.

Often gamers themselves have to deal with the optimization of Paint the Town Red. For almost all major releases, there are various related and forums where users share their ways to improve productivity.

One of them is a special program called Advanced System Optimizer. It is made specifically for those who do not want to manually clean up the computer from various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. Advanced System Optimizer will do this on its own and will also analyze your computer to find out how you can improve performance in applications and games.

Paint the Town Red is lagging. Big game delay. Solution

Many people confuse "lag" with "lag", but these problems have completely different causes. Paint the Town Red slows down when the frame rate at which the picture is displayed on the monitor decreases, and lags when the delay when accessing the server or any other host is too high.

That is why "lags" can only be in network games. The reasons are different: bad network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low Internet connection speed.

However, the latter is the least common. In online games, communication between the client and the server occurs by exchanging relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough for the eyes.

There is no sound in Paint the Town Red. I can not hear anything. Solution

Paint the Town Red works, but for some reason does not sound - this is another problem that gamers face. Of course, you can play like that, but it's still better to figure out what's the matter.

First you need to determine the scope of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or in general on the computer? If only in the game, then perhaps this is due to the fact that the sound card is very old and does not support DirectX.

If there is no sound at all, then the matter is definitely in the computer settings. Perhaps the sound card drivers are not installed correctly, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error of our favorite Windows OS.

Controls not working in Paint the Town Red. Paint the Town Red does not recognize a mouse, keyboard, or gamepad. Solution

How to play if it is impossible to control the process? The problems of supporting specific devices are out of place here, because we are talking about familiar devices - keyboard, mouse and controller.

Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded, almost always the problem is on the user's side. You can solve it in different ways, but, one way or another, you will have to turn to the driver. Usually, when you connect a new device, the operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some models of keyboards, mice, and gamepads are not compatible with them.

Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find exactly its driver. Often, devices from well-known gaming brands come with their own software kits, since the standard Windows driver simply cannot ensure the correct operation of all the functions of a particular device.

If you don’t want to look for drivers for all devices separately, you can use the program Driver Updater. It is designed to automatically search for drivers, so you only need to wait for the scan results and download the necessary drivers in the program interface.

Often, the brakes in Paint the Town Red can be caused by viruses. In this case, there is no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can check your computer and clean it of viruses and other unwanted software using special programs. For example NOD32 . The antivirus has proven itself from the best side and has received the approval of millions of users around the world.

Suitable for both personal use and small businesses, ZoneAlarm is able to protect a computer running Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP from any attack: phishing, viruses, malware, spyware and other cyber threats . New users are given a 30-day free trial.

Nod32 is an antivirus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to the development of security. Versions of anti-virus programs for both PC and mobile devices are available on the developer's website, a 30-day trial version is provided. There are special conditions for business.

Paint the Town Red downloaded from torrent does not work. Solution

If the distribution kit of the game was downloaded via torrent, then in principle there can be no guarantees of work. Torrents and repacks are almost never updated through official applications and do not work over the network, because in the course of hacking, hackers cut out all network functions from games, which are often used to check the license.

Using such versions of games is not only inconvenient, but even dangerous, because very often many files have been changed in them. For example, to bypass protection, pirates modify an EXE file. However, no one knows what else they do with it. Maybe they embed self-executing software. For example, which, when the game is first launched, will be integrated into the system and will use its resources to ensure the well-being of hackers. Or, giving access to the computer to third parties. There are no guarantees and there cannot be.

In addition, the use of pirated versions is, according to our publication, theft. The developers have spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own money in the hope that their offspring will pay off. And every work must be paid.

Therefore, if you encounter any problems with games downloaded from torrents or hacked using certain means, you should immediately remove the “pirate”, clean your computer with an antivirus and a licensed copy of the game. This will not only save you from dubious software, but also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.

Paint the Town Red gives an error about a missing DLL file. Solution

As a rule, problems associated with the absence of DLLs occur when you start Paint the Town Red, however, sometimes the game can access certain DLLs in the process and, without finding them, crash in the most impudent manner.

To fix this error, you need to find the required DLL and install it on the system. The easiest way to do this is with a program. DLL fixer, which scans the system and helps you quickly find missing libraries.
