Decreasing Loading Times - Back to old GUI


HungaroJET

Recommended Posts

HungaroJET, that's fantastic work! Rep inbound.

 

I took the liberty to mirror lua-gui5.dll (32 bit):

Size: 443904 bytes / ca. 434 KB
MD5:  2fd15c755e1f2364d4b5374588763b38
SHA1: 3779bedd04c983f642858354cc401d7e6b8a474a

If someone posts the 64 bit version, I'll upload it as well.

 

To check the checksums, you can use a tool like digestIT 2004.

 

On a side note, do we need the --console switch in the first step? I removed it and the fix still seems to work fine for me. I don't think some debug output in the DOS window is of much benefit. :-)

Changed upload dir to dcs_a-10c instead of dcs_bs.

I had similar load time issues with the new GUI vs the old.

 

System Specs

Intel i7 920 @ 2.63 Ghz

 

6 gb DDR3

 

Win 7 64bit

 

Do i need the 64 bit version of that .dll, or does it matter?

Same issues with 6/9GB and W7Pro-64 ? This is more than strange :mad:

I just wanted the buy a new PC just like Invisibull's PC :cry:, so now ?

hmm, I am getting the error:

[string".\mission editor\mission editor.lua"]:872: attempt to call field ? (a nill value)

 

probably my mistake, seeing as others have got this working, but I have checked that line and even when reverted to original I am still getting the error... :huh:

 

 

I'm getting same error message running XP 32bit. I've checked and double checked, and everything is typed correctly. It's the New GUI = true line. When I change it to false, that's when the message appears.

Check 2nd Step

 

2.

Open MissionEditor.lua in ...\DCS A-10C Final\MissionEditor

edit row 3

from

NEW_GUI = true

to

NEW_GUI = false

 

edit row 872

from

Gui.SetBackground()

to

-- Gui.SetBackground()

Anyone got a 64 bit version of this dll because these load times are making me go crazy. Waiting a minute for the debriefing screen to come up is just inhumane! :joystick:

I haven't tried this mod yet but just to clarify..

 

I have Win7 64bit and I run the 64bit A-10C exe, so the 32bit dll that is posted will not work for anyone running 64-bit version of the game, or 64-bit windows?

 

I can't wait to try this though because loading times(w/ the GUI) in Black Shark compared to A-10C are night and day.

That was it. I was editing the wrong line. Got it now, thanks.

Thanks for the file leonsilver, that brought main menu load time down to 4-5 sec.

 

EDIT: When I click on a mission in the mission menu I get an error message. Back to the original gui (load time 10 -12 sec).

Thanks for the 64 bit dll :thumbup:

 

I still get 1 error though with the move to the old GUI, but it doesn't seem to be a serious error as I can just press enter and then everything is fine. I love having single digit load times as opposed to triple digits :D

Ok now that I have the 64bit dll (thanks mate) can someone write up a clearer explanation on how to install this and get it to work, seems like there is a problem and fix on every page of these posts so it would be great if someone can write a complete install guide, thanks so much.

I'm pretty sure the original post has been edited with all the correct information.
