Partial Print is Really, Really Useful :D
« on: November 20, 2008, 06:51:53 pm »

I just turned on partial print, guise. It put my 23ish FPS in the intro to 100. My 6 FPS sprawl fort is now playable.

Turn it on, guise. Ignore that crap about it not working for all systems.

 Unless you have one of those systems it does not work on. Kinda hard to ignore it there.

 But yes, it does amazing things. Just don't minimize the window/select another window/mess around with designations with the minimap on.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

I do all of those things, and nothing bad happens. Guess those are some of the things that don't work for certain systems.

In your init.txt in the \data\init folder you will find the following line:

[PARTIAL_PRINT:NO:2]

He is saying that if you change it to:

[PARTIAL_PRINT:YES:2]

You will have a significantly higher framerate.

This thing you turn on in init. It stops the game from displaying stuff you won't have on the screen anyway.

I find it messes up certain menus sometimes (makes the whole screen flicker in a seizure-inducing fashion). I didn't notice much change in framerate either.

I have it set at [PARTIAL_PRINT:YES:10].  That seems to work except for in adventure mode.

And as a side note: would it hurt to have the topic title as something a little less obscene and a little more descriptive?

That's "internet humor". Welcome to the game getting popular and the player base more retarded.

Ugh, there is still a core intellegent basis in the forums and it is getting on my nerves that people are focusing on the petty problems. People are retarded on the internet. This is still the best forum out there. Start worrying when the spelling gets completly retarded and there are flame wars on every page.
