 |
|
|
|
When i choose my .ini file to create my background in the buildlevel.exe, it not only doesn't create the LVZ, it begins eating up system resources - generally about 95% of all available ram..
=/
Whats going on, any ideas?

Post your INI here. I'm sure there's a problem in it somewhere. _________________ This help is informational only. No representation is made or warranty given as to its content. User assumes all risk of use. Cyan~Fire assumes no responsibility for any loss or delay resulting from such use.

Only took 10 seconds to make here (2500+ Barton), not too much ram. But, still, any client trying to enter your zone without a good processor/video card would die. I'd recommend not having a background image, or atleast one so massively global.

The ini is huge because your background image is so small. Ive enlarged your background to 500x500 (duplicating your original on a larger canvas), attached the ini and the image. Not sure if this will help you but try building this one.. took about 1 second to build on this pc. _________________ SSI Super Fortress

Late reply, sorry.
Worked perfectly, and that was indeed the problem. Good call
