Slowing to a crawl

NeoWizard · July 11, 2009, 12:02

Why is it that every time a start a new char, it goes will in the beginning and once I get to around DL11 the starts to get annoyingly slow. When you rest you can count along as you see your hp going up.

And dont ask me to go check my base delay or movement delay cause I never changed those settings. ANd it has always been doing this since I play the 310 beta. I currently have r1376.

Is there some king of log file being generated at every move for debugging purposes or something like that?

Thanks

Do you have a window set to list viewable objects? I had the same problem and had to turn off that list to fix it.

Try updating to r1478 or later and tell me if it's as bad.

I had this problem when I had the term window open showing viewable objects. Quite annoying; I had to turn that feature off.

What version? I made a change in r1477 which should have eased this problem, but I don't know by how much.

Yes I have a term windows for visible monsters and the other for visible objects but I did not have this problem in 309.

I'll update and test it out, thanks.

Why doesn't it keep my macros?

I was using r1487. If there are a few items on the list it's fine, but when you get to a low level with a lot of things, it's excruciating.

This is interesting. AFAIK there hasn't been any (other) change since 3.0.6, and those reporting this issue claim it didn't happen then. So it means that it's not the logging which is doing most of the slowing down (because that's what I switched off in r1477), it's the power calculation itself (which is now called from object_value_real).

I'll have a think about how to order item lists without evaluating power. This will solve the slowdown but might end up with some changes to long-established inventory order ...

... no, I've got it. We can still order by k_ptr->cost (or e_ptr->cost), which will be much quicker than calling the power calc.

Hey! I just had an epiphany - that's why staves and wands keep changing places as you use charges. The inventory order is based on value, and as you use a charge, the value decreases slightly, which means it can change places with an item of similar value. I've always hated that behaviour, and using k_ptr->cost instead of object_value will stop it.

Yippee!!

Did you save them? They're not stored in your savefile, you have to save them separately from the macro menu ("append macros to file", which means to a pref file).
