loading library performance About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011.

Ok, it needed some minutes to load all the resized pictures into the stack. But when I started the program again it needed some minutes too to fill the stack. Why does the program not uses indexes, tables or references for all my files. It seems that it created the whole library again. Therefore, the performance is to slow. Is this your experience too? Post by RichLevy // Jun 23, 2007, 11:40am RichLevy Total Posts: 1140 Sounds like what I am having too. I do not make texture library's anymore because of this. Large textures (and you do not need many textures in it) will cause loading of the library problems in TS.

I've even had to run my mouse over the blank areas where items should be to get them to show up.

I'm the same way- the Image B(r)owser is too slow to populate w/ thumbs so it's faster to use Windows to pick textures. If you are stuck with only using Libraries to access your textures then you have my condolences. Post by Wigand // Jun 24, 2007, 4:58am Wigand Total Posts: 462 The libraries of TS are a very good idea, but for normal usage (textures, hdrs, bumpmaps) it is realy to slow. I think there should be still some work to be done to optimize the performance.

If you are stuck with only using Libraries to access your textures then you have my condolences. Because of the way TS WS handles and works with textures presently you really do not need to save textures to library's, I think this is going to change in the next version, though I do not know for sure. You can right click inside the library and than use the import feature to bring up the Windows Explorer file selector. Or you can use the texture node in the LE and just CTRL right mouse to bring up the same Windows Explorer file selector... Those are the 2 ways that I am aware of, not sure if there are any others. rich
