mIRC v7.83.5171 |
Windows 11 x64I also recently encountered animation lag while creating a similar script when caching was limited to a small amount. But after the release of a new beta version with improved caching, I decided to retest. I slightly modified the script's source code so that the window would open when clicking a link. Now, after preloading (warming up) all the file's frames using the command
/drawpic -cp, the animation plays very quickly, without stuttering, and most likely, in quality it is the same or very close to the animation displayed in the browser. The only problem is that if file is very large, there will be a slight delay before the animation displays the first time you run it. However, can try to smooth this out with double buffering or do not display the window until the file is split into individual frames and fully cached.
Video demonstration from the screen:
Test animation in mIRCOverall this is a significant improvement and I'm happy with how animated files are now displayed in the picture window. This is amazing! Thank.
