How to increase the game loading speed?

[zach_kirov]

I just wana ask if anyone has idea on how to increase the game loading speed. i noticed that some map loading speed is fast and some r reallly slow like heck..

Sorry I dono where should i put this thread.. so i jz put here. Pls move the thread to the correct spot if i post wrongly.

Map Optimizer - Reduces size of map greatly, slighty reduces loading time, also can become a map protector

Widgetizer - Greatly reduces loading time and slightly map size

PS: You can use both
PPS: Some of their default options can give errors to triggers
PPPS: Visit my thread, Galactic Conquest, over at the Map Developement

Imports are what slow down loading time mostly. Lowering their size helps a lot.

well, i did not import anything to my map, but it stil slow.

i use map optimizer too. it only reduce size but not the speed

Widgetizer i never used b4. maybe i will try it. thanks

is there any other ways to increase the speed? lets say using trigger to do so?

gilles you are wrong.
Most loading time comes out of scripts, object data, and unit and destructable creation. Importing is a minority.

Really?! I always thought it was large models. Huh, thanks for correcting me.

so, do u have any idea to solve that?

Either use my suggestion, create trigger to create starting objects or both!

 

[Captain Griffen]

Using triggers to create starting objects would achieve nothing, as they are already created by triggers at start up (and more efficiently probably than you'd create them, unless you used JASS).

Widgetiser has some issues with causes maps played after widgetised maps to screw up, unless you restart WC3.
