/maxfps killing framerate the next time you log in...

Change the WritePrivateProfileString calls to use Arg2 instead of Arg1, otherwise you log into 1 fps...

I didn't have a problem with framerate when I logged in, or anytime after.

This is with today's zip file.

It's fine until you do a /maxfps fg #
then it sets the ini to "fg" which on the next login gives you 1 fps ;(

ouch hehe... I experimented a little with that in game... seems some # between 40 and 50 gives acceptable framerates when in fg.

Great new feature without a doubt. I was able to start some apps with EQ in the background and didn;t get the extremely long waiting times for the app to start.

Normally I couldn't very well work on MQ while in game, now I do it all and compile, etc just link after unloading

Fixed the ini bug in dev cvs, dont have time to update zip right now sorry

Argh, the telnet output is all messed up...

EqMule · Post by **EqMule** » Sat Nov 01, 2003 11:36 pm

they usefullness of this command should make up for it

heck I lost my nice colors in the mqchatwindow, but Ill take that any day if I can get my cpu to 42%

Telnet output should be fine, I'll double check the StripMQChat function.

dont_know_at_all · Post by **dont_know_at_all** » Sun Nov 02, 2003 12:38 pm

I fixed it, mostly.

I couldn't find a case where there was a color change like this:
\a#12345

so I'm not sure if that is the right format to skip when sending it to telnet.

It's \a#RRGGBB

dont_know_at_all · Post by **dont_know_at_all** » Sun Nov 02, 2003 12:46 pm

I think we need i+=7 in that block.

Lax · Post by **Lax** » Sun Nov 02, 2003 12:50 pm

Nope it should be ok how it is.

\a gets skipped in output
# is victim of i++
add 6 to skip the RRGGBB

With your changes, it should be six.

Why did you make it seven? Or am I missing something?

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>

typedef char *PCHAR;
typedef void VOID;

VOID StripMQChat(PCHAR in, PCHAR out)
{
        //DebugSpew("StripMQChat(%s)",in);
        int i = 0;
        int o = 0;
        while(in[i])
        {
                if (in[i]=='\a')
                {
                        i++;
                        if(in[i]=='-')
                        { // skip 1 after -
                                i+=2;
                        }
                        else if (in[i]=='#')
                        { // skip 6 after #
                                i+=7;
                        }
                }
                else if (in[i]=='\n')
                {
                }
                else
                        out[o++]=in[i];
                i++;
        }
        out[o]=0;
        //DebugSpew("StripMQChat=>(%s)",out);
}

void main()
{
char szCmd[1024], szOut[1024];
sprintf(szCmd,"\a#rrggbb\aw\ayMaxFPS\ax\a-u:\ax\a-u[\ax\at%d\axForeground\a-u]\ax \a-u[\ax\at%d\ax Background\a-u]\ax",1000/20,1000/50);

StripMQChat(szCmd, szOut);
printf("<%s>\n", szOut);
}

Well, I certainly didnt make it skip 2 after '-' so that's someone elses change
