Since I updated the new editor it seems to be a MASSIVE memory hog. I can't even test play my game world now. I have a pretty large game world and when I try to test play it the editor stops responding and freezes. When I ctrl+alt+del and check processes it shows memory usage for the editor at 444,000k, 667,000k, and even up to 774,000k. Why on earth is it chomping up memory like that? I have 3GB of RAM and an AMD 64 dual core processor. I've never had any problems like this until after I updated the editor. It seems there is a memory leak.

Also, it takes forever for it to build the new pathing. Is it supposed to?

It also takes forever (over 5 minutes) to actually load the screen after the "Done" bar is finished. And again, a memory spike is experienced with this.

The editor worked fine before I did October's update, but now I'm having all sorts of problems with it with a very large game world.

Hi,

700MB usage for a big world doesn't seem to be big.

Recast library support was added which may cause some issues.

On my computer building paths for worlds takes about 1.5x time needed for "generating terrain".

You can increase "Cell Size" in world path mode (this will decreased presicion, build time and memory usage for the path of the world)

On my computer it takes up to 3 seconds to update and play visible part of some average sized world.

it would be best if you could provide me your whole "data" folder archived, so I could test your world manually (building, loading, etc) and provide some more info.

I have the same problem. Editor of the bloody massacre is much faster.

please provide me data folder and video showing the issue.

My data folder is almost 4gb in size. How should I provide it?

Also, I tested again several times and never hit 774,000 again but it always spiked & climbed during pathing generation. It maxed at 581,000 through these tests. My lead programmer also tested it and experienced the same thing.

On a side note, how does the new pathing work with objects? Are there certain settings needed for MOBs & NPCs? Buildings? How does it differ from physics or lack thereof, on some objects?

please read version history release notes, it's all there
you can visualize paths in world editor game mode using \ key
you can perform custom pathfinding using Game::World.path()...
etc

high memory usage during path generation is normal

For now please make only the video. I am interested in the slowdown

I'll just continue in this thread.

Is it possible to add a "show paths" option in the view-menu? Because I'm using an azerty-keyboard, and the backslash shortcut doesn't work here (backslash is Ctrl + alt + button next to LeftShift).

I noticed this as well. backslash doesn't work for me and neither does Tilde '~'

I'm not sure how to make a video other than to film the screen with an actual camera. It takes around 4-5 minutes for my world to build. Fraps won't capture the windows task manager which shows the memory increase

Use CamStudio, it can capture your entire desktop.

The newest versions of Fraps can too.

@dragonfly3 : How long does it take to build worlds from the SDK? (like "path.world")
by 4-5 minutes you mean whole world or only part? once I see the video I'll know more

Now works as it should.
