UPDATE!!
Windows 7 - Bane of Goldsource. (lags on simple maps
)
Luckily enough i have another computer at my disposal that's running a brand spanking new version of XP. So i'm going to install steam on THAT computer, transfer all the CD files, and work on Disposed some more.
Benefits - It's a lower end machine than this current one, meaning that any map i make that runs smoothly on that machine will DEFINITELY run smooth on any of your guys' computers. (It's a 3.0GHz P4 with 728Mb ram running a radeon 9550 card)
So it's not THAT bad but still, my system owns it in it's sleep.
-While stuff is compiling, i have a fully functional other computer to mess with.
-When i compile stuff into mod formats for release, i can just transfer the mod between computers to test compatibility and completeness.
Cons - I'll have to log out of steam on this machine in order to play it on that one, and i don't have a separate chair for that 'desk' so i have to stand up while mapping. (It's not a desk, it's actually resting on top of a bunch of drawers) I gave away my 15" LCD monitor with the new system i build for a friend, so i have his old CRT monitor
- I hate slower computers
- School is KILLING ME SLOWLY, i havent mapped at all in about a month
Fear not, i haven't given up. I just have to get my head straight.
