Decal help

Sassy · Post by **Sassy** » Wed Apr 23, 2003 12:10 pm

I've been having horrible lag problems for about 4 weeks now. I start the night off just great and about an hour into playing the lag starts. It's so bad that I totally freeze in place.

I have replaced my Nic card and added memory. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled AC and Decal and all the plugins. Still having problems.

Last nite I played without decal on at all and everything ran just beautifully.

Soooo....it must be Decal. Anyone have any suggestions???

Thanks

Sassy,

What version Decal are you using ?

And what are your plugins ?

Right now I have the latest version. Would have to look when I get home to see exactly. I've been using NBII, 6th sense, Robochef and Oracle.

Both Sixth Sense and NB II severly lag my machine. If I don't run these with my other decal plugins I seem to have much less lag.

As far as I can tell, there is no solution but to avoid these!

UGH!!!

I hate having to buff manually. When am I supposed to go get a glass of wine or walk the dog or or or

? Plus it's just so darn slow doing it that way.

I use ElTank to buff. You can set it to buff only and it works better the NB II. Further, it allows you to buff while you are "under fire" because it will keep your health and stamina and reasonable levels.

Lucky, cool..thanks! Panzer has also suggested I try ELtank for buffing. And buffing under fire?? Now that I like the sounds of. I'll have to try it tonite.

Umm...anyone have a link for the download?? Oh..it's probably on that list Khaz posted

Thanks for the suggestions!

Not only does it buff under fire, but it has a timer for each separate spell and will only rebuff the ones you need. I think its easier to use the NB II and far more versatile. I haven't used NB II in months.

I'm a big fan of ElTank for buffing too.

In stead of 6th Sense, you might want to try Bandit Sight - it is far better.

Thanks guys for the info! I have nothing to lose at this point by trying something new.

El-tank has a built in item tracking program. It's not nearly as complicated as sixth or BS, but it gets the job done, and it reduces the need of programs that need to be run.

[edit: Looking at the latest version, the tracking program just got a lot less primitive. Definetly worth checking out now]

Oh and also, it has a very very very primitive point-to-point directions program (a baby version of Oracle) perhaps you can get by with that?
