not really, no.
your loading a file as you are loading a flag, sure it'll take a little more CPU but not a substantial amount though.

please try to create a system that has alot of information in each flag
currently, my item system contains the following flags, make try make them into a flag with less than 255 chars.

#The archetype name
realname=Fung Si Yan

#The file location
archetype=equipment/shields/

#The Display Name
displayname=Fung-Si-Yan Shield

#The Display Icon
itemimage=Shield-FungSiYan

#Item Description
itemdescription=Forged by the almight Stefan at birth!

#The Weight [kg]
weight=10

#The Value [Rupees]
value=5

#Can Be Traded
candrop=true

#base, agility, magic, mental, personality, physique, wisdom
reqlevels={0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}

#strength, dexterity, vitality, intelligence, wisdom, power, charm 
reqstats={0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
basestats={3, 3, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0}

#Item Data [+Melee weapon functions]
itemname=+Shields
itemequip=true
itemganis=fungsiyan

#Can The Shield Break
canbreak=true
#Amount Of Hits Taken Then It Breaks
breakamount=750

Because GK actually has a proper mudlib library available in the NPC-Server which means that script CPU cycles are not being used instead.

didn't know this, release to servers that want a mudlib to solve the CPU issue?

He was implying it used exactly what he was saying everyone else should (flags and such)

don't get your reply at all, so why not release the gk method?

What, that the gserver is optimized to handle flags over loading data from a textfile? That is just a fact, simply true.

It's simply scripted without reading textfiles, the same point skyld was making.

i didn't say that loading a text file was faster than loading data from a flag. it's not a substantial difference from loading a flag than a text file.

explain how gks system works please
