Spring RTS Engine

So I figured out how to get a good screen capture for doing dot wars recordings :)
But my springs gets laggy when I am watching Replays and that shows up in the recording.
So I'm thinking I need to give Springs a higher priority (or I need more ram).
Any way I am using SpringLobby as my Lobby Client and I'm trying to run spring at a nice of -10

Thanks

P.S. I'm new to the forums and I would like to thank all the spring developers and everyone else that has done content creation, you guys did an amazing job!!!!!!

you can run spring at a slower speed, then increase the speed of the video

Code: Select all

which spring
cd [location of spring]
mv spring springengine
echo "#\!/bin/bash" > spring
echo "nice -n -10 springengine \"\$@\"" >> spring
chmod +x spring

If you work out auth issues for a negative nice, misread and thought you wanted 10 at first.

Just run springlobby with nice -10? Won't it inherit?

Note that on many systems only root can nice negative. This can be set in /etc/security/limits.conf though.

Thanks for the input guys.
I never tried running spring lobby with a given nice.
nor have I tried making a script file to run spring with a nice.

Yes you need to have root access to run something with a negative nice.

Well it works. Spring dose inherit the nice of SpringLobby.
