changing name, description, or room and function flags in s3oc
Since it is not reasonable to require people to put their names in either the Catalog Name or Description I decided to do it for them in my own game. This has the apparent effect of slowing the game way down and making all animations look choppy. It doesn't make sense to me that it should do that.
Here is what I did:
1. Placed package to be worked with on my desktop
2. Opened package with
S3OC 3. Unchecked "Renumber/rename internally" so as
not to create a new unique object.
4. Added creator's name to Catalog Name IE: Simple Widget by John Doe
5. Clicked start
6. Placed package in Packages folder.
This seemed to work fine for a few objects. Then the game began to slow
down. I assumed it was just one package. So I started removing the last packages that were modified. After removing about ten of them, and not having problem solved, I decided to remove all but the first packages that seemed to work OK. That didn't fix the the problem. Not logical! That should have worked. So then I took out all the modified packages. That fixed the problem. I tried putting the very first package back in and the problem was there again. So I thought maybe I needed to clear the cache files. I emptied the cache files, all of them and tried again, no luck. Is there something I should or shouldn't be doing?
I have had a similar problem with changing room and function flags. I started changing sort for some great content from a couple of Spanish sites. Things seemed to work at first and then
again. Is there some secret trick to this?
Just a note I did all my work in the empty neighborhood that I use for testing. There is only 1 house that I am currently working on.
Any help would be much appreciated. :lovestruc
