Forums Scripts & Popups Mirc picture drawing

Hello,

Im drawing a game into mirc picture window. Now I use /clear @ for screen refresh, but it gets a really crappy fps when you add something more into window. Is there any way i can do it better (as in fps) ?

if you can use one bitmap, and not clear the window each time but redraw it mapping a different part of the image it will load faster
a test:

to run load that in remotes and /wincloud
to break out of the loop hold CTRL and type the BREAK key, then /disable #cloud (to make sure its locked off) or remove the code from your remotes.

add a picture window Menu

menu @TEST {
Clear:/clear @TEST
}

Hi,

Thanks for those, but unfortunately that didnt answer. I don't use bitmaps at all. I use just drawline, drawdot, and drawfill.

maybe you could post some sample code of what you are doing and then maybe we can offer a suggestion that will be more helpful.

I wouldnt use @clear, i would rather draw a filled rectangle over the screen, and use the -n switch on all the /draw commands until you finished updating. The -n switch is the key to flicker free graphics in picture windows.

If you just want to clear one specific area, try and do it with /drawreplace or /drawrect too. And above all, remember to use the -n switch.

If your drawing a detailed object with the /draw commands, It might be wiser to have them pre-drawn on another hidden @window (off screen, not simply -h) and /drawcopy the image from the hidden window to your window. It makes no sense to repeatedly draw the same thing.
