Redicolus slow loadin time

**eliad91** · 03-19-2008, 13:18

Hey guys,
I realy enjoy this mod,but the only thing that lets me down here is the really slow loading times

specially the one before the opening cinematic (It can take up to 4 mins

)Also,the champaign map is realy slow moving (compared to the other mods).
Is there anything i can do about it?

1. Get more/faster RAM
2. Use the No-Client Ruler Script mod

Actually four minutes is kinda fast.

You can remove the Client ruler bit from the script. As it is about 40% of teh entire EB script, it slows down the game a bit, as it has to make hundreds of checks. The only thing it does is to look whether you have created a level 4 government. Level 4 government comes with a client ruler, thanks to the script.

Sometimes defragmentation also yields considerable improvements in game speed.

It doesn't have to make 100's of checks. In fact it makes only 1.

**d'Arthez** · 03-19-2008, 23:17

Per province, yes. But it does not check all provinces in one single (simple) check.

But this is arguing semantics.

IIRC it works a lil' differently:

Code:

; --pseudo code --
monitor - one_condition

{ 
     sub_divisions_by_province ; skipped if the one_condition returns 'false'
     blocks_of_code_triggered ; skipped when the province divisions are...
}

end_monitor

Make sure your hard disk is defragmented.

Also, add -nm to your EB shortcut in order to skip the intro movie.

So how do I remove the Client ruler?
and how i defragment ?
Sorry that I do not understand in this kind of stuff

Cheers~

You can look in the unofficial mods section of the forum.

Defragmenting is a tool that comes with Windows. Google it.

Four minutes? I agree with Hax, you have a good computer. If I made a list of the things I can accomplish while waiting for the opening cinematic, it would put most people to sleep.

Thank heaven you're so lucky.
