print_mode question
« on: December 16, 2009, 06:47:45 pm »

i have tried searching for an answer but i cant find one, sorry if this is a repeat question:

what are examples of proper settings for print_mode in the init? i dont know if i'm setting up partial print right, it didnt seem to make a diffrence when i tried it on my own. also what do the other choices do exactly?

You probably wouldn't immediately notice a difference unless you already had a fort that's experiencing some slowdown, i.e. the game isn't already capping at 100 fps. From what I know, the other modes are just alternatives to partial printing since some people have reported issues with it and weren't able to get partial print to work. [PRINT_MODE:PARTIAL:2] should give you good results and is the lowest you should set partial print. If you aren't having any graphical issues with partial print, just use it, it'll speed things up quite a bit.

ok, i tried 2 but i had a lot of really bad flickering and it went slower, i then tried 10, seems to work, i think my problem is too many z levels and too many thousands of stone peices
