Why are scrolling maps lagging?

[Matt]

Just got Mis's tut to work (still need to tinker with NPC/Player hp bars, but it's not a big concern) however the whole things lags to hell. I've even reduced the size of my maps, and the game loop just crawls. Can anyone by any chance lend me a hand to figure out what the cause is? I don't even know where to start.

Unsure, tbh. I use the same system in FPO and no problem.

[Anthony]

Perhaps try switching to system memory?

[Rian]

I know what you mean Asrrin. I experience the same problem every time I try to use the tutorial. It's strange though, because Perfekts game had scrolling, and it was fine.

What aren't you telling us? 8)

[Anthony]

I have scrolling maps working well in my game. I get about 500 - 600 fps too. I used the same tutorial.

[Robin]

I added the system to a blank MSE a looong time back and it worked perfectly.

[William]

Did you add advanced ai?

[Matt]

No, I wasn't planning on it either, the NPC's move around quite fine for my needs. I was thinking of giving them more combat options though, like spell casting and aggro, but I don't think that would be affected by maps.

Aggro? They already have that.

[Matt]

Ah. True Aggro. So if the mage hits it for more damage than the fighter, it will transfer targets. ^_^ Rohan has that.
