Map Respawn - Anthony - 27-03-2009
In a freshly downloaded MS4 the map respawns even when players on are the map.

Yupp. Well, the items do. I dunno about the rest.
Re: Map Respawn - Anthony - 27-03-2009
Private Sub UpdateMapSpawnItems()
Find:
Code:
' Make sure no one is on the map when it respawns
If Not PlayersOnMap(y) ThenChange it to:
Code:
' Make sure no one is on the map when it respawns
If PlayersOnMap(y) = NO ThenFixed.

It would be better to just make PlayersOnMap a boolean.
(boolean is faster than byte)
Re: Map Respawn - Doomy - 27-03-2009
when can a boolon be used anywhere a byte can or in certain instances? ive nvr used it before
Re: Map Respawn - Rian - 27-03-2009
Not really. A byte is a variable with a value between 0 and 255, (256 total)
A boolean is a variable with a true or false value
Public PlayersOnMap as Boolean
Usage:
Toggle - PlayersOnMap = True or PlayersOnMap = False
Check - If PlayersOnMap = True Then or If PlayersOnMap = False Then
Re: Map Respawn - Doomy - 27-03-2009
ahh i get it
Re: Map Respawn - GIAKEN - 27-03-2009
Most of the checks we do are If Byte = 1 Or Byte = 0...those need to be Boolean = True or Boolean = False.
There's a small downside, Booleans take more memory than Bytes. Not that much more, but it's still considered a down side. Speed over memory usage.

Takes two bytes, I believe.

Its such a minor difference (in speed, and memory) does it really matter?
Re: Map Respawn - GIAKEN - 30-03-2009
Yeah any loss is still a loss. If I lose 2$ instead of 1$...oh it's not that much of a loss, but still that's 50%...
You're looking at it like you're just fucking lazy. Any optimization is better, no matter 10 milliseconds faster or 1000 milliseconds faster is something that should be done.

Re: Map Respawn - Pbcrazy - 30-03-2009
no...
2$ = 100%
-1
1$ = 50%
aka: 1$ is 1/2 of 2$, and 50% is 1/2 of 100%
Re: Map Respawn - Doomy - 30-03-2009
but if your looking at it from the small point of view wouldnt it be 100% loss
Re: Map Respawn - Matt - 30-03-2009
Technically, losing $1 would be a 100% loss. Losing $2 would be a 200% loss.
Since those are the only variants involved.
Re: Map Respawn - GIAKEN - 30-03-2009
Who cares? The point is any optimization is good.

We have to take this thread off topic. It's the MS way. Quit trying to make us think like programmers, damnit!
