Speeding up adventure mode
« on: September 10, 2008, 06:36:41 pm »
I just got back into adventure mode recently (after only doing fortress mode for a while), and I'm having some really bad performance problems.  At the moment, it takes nearly 1.5 seconds to update the screen for each move while visiting an abandoned fortress.  Fortress mode never really gave me any performance problems.

Is there something I'm missing here to speed things up, or is adventure mode really that much slower than fortress mode?

Any flows going on?
I revisited a fortress on the edge of a major river / lake and it was unplayably bad... mostly it's ok, though.  Worse than average in dense woodland.

Not sure how you'd go about speeding things up, sorry.

It has to do with all the calculations going on about what you cansee and what you can't see, the reason DF mode lacks lag because of this is creatures in DF mode can see everything.

You may want to try modifying a few options in \data\init\init.txt.
Specifically, look for a block of text that says:

Code: [Select]
[TEMPERATURE:YES]
[WEATHER:YES]
[ECONOMY:YES]
[INVADERS:YES]
[CAVEINS:YES]
[ARTIFACTS:YES]
[ZERO_RENT:NO]
Turning TEMPERATURE and/or WEATHER to NO might help quite a bit.

My signature says it all. The sight I saw that day would put a grin on the lips of even the most stonefaced dwarf... :3
