A big thank-you for zszwg!

Hey, I wanna make this public, because the results have been so good thus far!

Basically, using zszwg's optimizations to get rid of MotionControl, and doing a few other things (NanoBlobs is not even close to being fully optimized on the scripting end... yet), I've cut down the scripting load of NanoBlobs from 15% or so at full load... to this:

At any rate, thanks for teaching me a new way to look at certain issues, zszwg! Very useful

good work!
Optimizations are allways superb!

Excellent, now my 2.4 Pentium 4 won't cry / explode in angst when there's a ton of fighting going on :p.

Yay, no more playing games at 0.2 speed cause of lagging CPUs! And he even tested on my map!

Yes, Zw..ss....gs....something.... is quite the helpful supergenius. So generous. What a GREAT GUY!!! He is, in fact, the paragon of excellence. (now can I have some help with gem?

I will now mysteriously disappear, so my legend can grow and bloom!
But fear not, for one day I shall return.

Gah! That's what they all do!

You know, a bit of a tutorial or guide on how to optimise scripts would probably be a nice thing to have.

Bah, he'll be back tommorow.

Argh, a scripting optimizationwriteup *would* be pretty nice for all teh rest of teh modders out there ^^

<shrugs> I will be documenting all of this stuff when I get NanoBlobs thoroughly cleaned up. The first step was getting rid of the initial looping. I need to try to get zszwg to explain how he "protects" aiming scripts.

Yes. No. Maybe.

Hey look, I just invented quantum computing!

... waitaminute... that was offtopic even for me, lol...

can we have an example, how he optimized the scripts (i mean can we see a script before and after), so modders can try to script units right from the start better and save performance.
I know a bit of programming and some kind of optimization, the problem is that i dont know where optimization is required or not.
