Decreasing file size!

[Fee]

its probly the fact that some of the backgrounds are rather large, not sure, i havnt tested it on any other machines yet.

However even on this machine (AM2 5ghz) it often pauses for 3 - 5 sec calculating the path to take.

I dont understand why there is a pause in the game. it being a 5 ghz machiene should make it ouber fast.

Why? the Exe is 120 meg. Games getting a little big for somthing so crap

!!120 mb!!! thats huge...
If its crap then why is it so big??

1 quick question as i dont know the answer to this
If you put alot of unused images in the sprite library will this make the game bigger on export or not .. don't worry i havent done this

Did you made the walkable areas very thin or very complicated?
If this is the case, it's known that the path-finding algorithm may take more time finding paths.

[Fee]

yeh, in some maps they are quiet complicated wich is why id like pathfinder to not make so many way points. IMO if it cant get there in 2 waypoints, then he shouldnt move

Is your machine dual-core? There's a known bug in processor drivers for dual-core that can give AGS problems.

Yeh its Dule Core, however the same thing happens on the 1ghz, only it takes alot longer to calculate the path. Well... thats what i assume its doing. I also quiet often get teleported randomly around the map, always into a walkable area. Checking the area i was in before the sudden TP, its not usually a particually crowded or complicated path.

Thats what i get for having 2500x2500 maps, im sure the problem would have been worse if it let me actually have the 4000x4000 backgrounds i wanted.
