Discussion Concerning Controls - William - 01-09-2007

Lets say a person has 200 controls on their ms server compared to a person with 10 controls. What would be the difference in speed?

Re: Discussion Concerning Controls - Rezeyu - 01-09-2007

Don't controls that aren't actively changing or being used, like buttons, etc. only add to filesize?

I can't see a button that does nothing till it's clicked causing lag.

I dont know, I dont have much knowledge in this area. But everybody keeps on saying bigger file size, slower game.

That may be true, but a big filesize is bad anyway.

Yeah, guess I could cut down on some controls server side.

Of course, this also depends on the type of control. 20 active timers VS 20 non-changing labels is a huge diff.

But I don't use ANY components in my server. I just don't think I need them.

Its just easier when you have kick, ban, warp commands on the server.

Joost said something to me before..

If you have a dedicated, odds are you're not going to be looking at the server too often, so why include anything on it at all..?

Re: Discussion Concerning Controls - William - 02-09-2007

Im planning on upgrading my old computer to be my fulltime server. So for me it would still be usefull to have those commands.

Re: Discussion Concerning Controls - Rezeyu - 02-09-2007

Wouldn't it be better to just use commands?

Re: Discussion Concerning Controls - William - 02-09-2007

yeah its one way of doing things. Guess I will have to code those options into a new admin panel or something client side.

Yeah, thats another way of doing it Tongue
