The way AWCI seems to look at it is that if they make a smaller command
system, it would create more lag for their customers running Pentium I's with AW3.1 :) [View Quote] -- My two cents, Captain MAD Mike PS> Think we could get a cell limit raise too? I know some people get laggy but still...a little more would be nice. roluMar 22, 2001, 8:30pm

They could do that internally if they wanted - would be quite easy. No
problems for the users. rolu eepMar 22, 2001, 8:31pm
I suggested this YEARS ago but Roland just said the action commands need a total rewrite anyway...it's been 3+ years and still no rewrite...

He also said the world system needs a rewrite-but I don't see him jumping on to that task either... he must smoke weed-lacks
motivation ;-) -- J B E L L http://platinum.awjbell.com G O I N G P L A T I N U M [View Quote] |
