RE: [hlcoders] loading times
There will be a bunch of these coming from Steam.dll -- however, even though the sheer number is high, it shouldn't really cause that much delay in the debugger. The output window is capabale of spamming pretty fast. :) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeffrey "botman" Broome Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 3:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] loading times Christopher McArthur wrote: > So If I start the game with the debugger, on game launch and level launch I > am greeted with tens of thousands of "First-chance exception" spamming my > output->debug window and making the game take up to 5 minutes to load > sometimes..

Re: [hlcoders] loading times
So If I start the game with the debugger, on game launch and level launch I am greeted with tens of thousands of "First-chance exception" spamming my output->debug window and making the game take up to 5 minutes to load sometimes.. Surely, Valve did not have this problem.. Im curious, does everyone loading the SDK (multiplayer stripped down version) have this problem? Or is this something particular about my setup? Im using .Net2003 to compile and debug. -ctm ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] loading times
Mega does have them but I am not keen on using them. I would rather have a lagit way to do with the retail version what you already can with the downloaded version.

RE: [hlcoders] loading times
The buy over steam version loads faster too because of no cd check. Any chance for a patch for us retail modders ? :) My wife just came home with HL2 one day.I would of got it over steam otherwise.

RE: [hlcoders] loading times
The "Edit and Continue" feature of MSVC is your friend. Also try "+mat_picmip 2 -sw" to run windowed and with the low res textures. "-nosound" should help a bit as well. - Alfred Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hasan Aljudy Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 10:06 PM To: hlcoders Subject: [hlcoders] loading times > When one is coding, he's probably gonna test alot, but I noticed that > loading takes a long time .. and that makes testing harder .. > often I just want to test a small little thing, then after > expereminting with it a little, I'd want to change it and test again > .. and so on. > > What can we do to shorten the time it takes to lead the game and the > levels? > I personally don't care about graphics when I'm coding, so the first > thing I did was set -dxlevel 70 I don't really know if that helps > much, but what settings can we use to shorten loading times as much > as possible? does increasing the heapsize help, or does too much heap > cause troubles? > > ___ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list > archives, please visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
[hlcoders] loading times
When one is coding, he's probably gonna test alot, but I noticed that loading takes a long time .. and that makes testing harder .. often I just want to test a small little thing, then after expereminting with it a little, I'd want to change it and test again .. and so on. What can we do to shorten the time it takes to lead the game and the levels? I personally don't care about graphics when I'm coding, so the first thing I did was set -dxlevel 70 I don't really know if that helps much, but what settings can we use to shorten loading times as much as possible? does increasing the heapsize help, or does too much heap cause troubles? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
