LE leve load the first 4 seconds

[tjheldna]

Hey all,

 

Now this used to happen me with LE2 also. When a level loads for the first four seconds or so everything moves really fast (i.e character controller) . After it then it evens out and the game speed is as expected .

 

It's like I've hit the turbo button on my old 386 DX =) for a few seconds.

 

Am I alone in seeing this? and is there anyway to stop it?

 

Cheers!

Pause timing when loading the map. See the Time class.

I have paused it.

It seems it helps a bit. At least the speedup have gone down from around 4 seconds or more to 1 or 1/2 second.

 

my method for loading levels:

void App::LoadMap(std::string mapfile = "")
{
if (mapfile == "") {
 mapfile = nextMap->nextMapFile;
}
//if ( mapfile != "" && mapfile != ".\\" && FileSystem::GetFileSize(mapfile) > 0 ) {
if ( mapfile != "" && mapfile != ".\\" ) {
 Time::Pause();
 world = World::Create();
 world->Clear();
 entities.clear();
 //world->Release();
 //create camera
 camera = Camera::Create();
 camera->SetFOV(70);
 camera->SetRotation(90, 0, 0, true);
 Map::Load(mapfile, StoreWorldObjects);
 // target camera at player
 if (player)
 {
  //Vec3 cameraPosition = Vec3(player->entity->GetPosition());
  //cameraPosition.y += 5;
  camera->SetPosition(0,10,0);
  camera->SetScript("Scripts/Cameras/TopDown.lua", true);
  camera->SetObject("target",player->entity);
  if (cameraEffect)
  {
   cameraEffect->entity->SetObject("camera",camera);
  }
 }
 Time::Resume();
}
}

Yes, thanks guys, that did the trick!

mh. maybe i should pause it a bit longer then? Not sure why i still get a bit of a speedup after the level loading.

[tjheldna]

I still get it but it is much better than before.

i hope we can somehow fix this completely, because currently even this short period of time can kill the player when he presses a movement key while it is speeded up.
