3d terrain lag

bo0ey · #1 09-18-2003, 04:48 PM

Why does my 3D terrain lag online? It doesnt lag offline. I don't get it

I never lagged on GK or Archaic or anything, plus other people get the lag too. (with the exception of Wanda Man)

So what do I do?

Define lag?
Your character slows down, because it is going up or down in depth (height [Z] ) so it slows and speeds up.

Also because you have alot of object NPCs on the gmap, as your terrain is normally the tileset, and you need images and more tilesets for insides and to do inside levels.

So is is actually lag, or just slow down and speed up of the player?

It's extreme and unbearable lag, the kind that makes you walk 0.01 MPH

How fast is your computer?

The lag happens for everyone, im not sure how fast everyone's computer is.

All I know is, its a new map, no NPCs on it at all... It's just simply terrain.

I guess you could compare the gmap file to that of GK.

When my computer was working I rarely had problems of it lagging on terrain and I use a huge gmap. But then again, I have a nice, non-manufactured PC :]

Try 2048 levels

That is the size of my main overworld. That does not include the smaller overworld areas that are on thier own gmaps.

The problem could be a plethera of possibilities, but I suggest checking for this....

1) G-MAP is in server options [gmaps= comma seperated w/o the .gmap extention added]
2) there are absolutely no npcs in the level with 'loadmap' command in them [in online mode you're supposed to warp directly to the gmap itself rather than the levels {example: level = gmap.gmap x=100 y=100}]

3) in the folder opts gmap files are set with both level and file

If lag persists after that then it most likely would be some stefan error or computer error [either server or your compy]

loadmap in any of the levels doesnt make any difference. I've used gmaps online with the loadmap command in levels before it makes absolutly no difference its the equivelant of having setmap in every single level online.

Typically, gmaps will fail to load online if those conditions aren't met.
