Wah? o-o;

...dude, are you stupid? o.o


First of all, the internet may not have rules, but the specific websites therein DO have rules and DO require a specific set of morals... ya know... here, a little example to help you understand: the world has no laws and requires no etiquette, however, the nations and countries therein DO have laws, and DO require a specific set of moral values... so I don't see what you're getting at here, no different than normal... :rtfm:

Your little thread is irrelivent here as well, this is for swapping out the way elf ranged loads animations, and replacing it with loading the AR animation, whilst keeping everything about ranged (except for the animation) intact. let alone he isn't using anyone's links or pre-modded data, he's looking to do the change himself... not looking for people like you to post random links to crap that doesn't help. Why you even dragged out that thread is beyond me...

I don't understand the "grammar of a 5 year old" part, as your grammar isn't too bad, however, your demeanor is a bit immature, not saying that you need to change that or anything, but seriously, it helps nobody but your own ego. If he meant your attitude is childish, then I'd agree =P . if someone asks for assistance, it is a bit childish to say "Want a cookie?"... like, especially if you don't even have to do any work, just sharing the concepts is enough here :\



Since swapping out the animations still leads to lag, could it be because of the way Elf Ranged loads the animation? kind of shooting a blank here to be honest xD . I guess my mind isn't wrapping around it too good, but it seems at though making it read as though the animation is AR would go a bit smoother than simply swapping the animation. I think it might just be trying to read it as the elf animation and since the timing isn't the same, it may have issues. Yay for talking about stuff I don't know about! :D

I see what your saying, but it doesn't affect how the skill functions with timing. At least I don't think it affects it. I think your right about it having to do with how the elf loads the skill.

Here is my guess, since it seems to happen only on duel and quad core systems. I think it has to do with your computer communicating with the server about the skill/animation. I think that the computer is sending information about the animation/skill too fast for the server to process. This causes you to hang until your character is caught up. The reason chat isn't affected I think is because it uses a different port. But thats just what I think is happening.

I've used the elf animation swapper and am already lagless but still have loading delays with Elf range.

Using the animation swapper was perfect since it give me no lag at all, which leads me to believe that it has to be the animation.

So, for the animation call, do I only use the aiming animation?

I found the call for that:

call ds:?IsAiming@ICharacter@core@@QAE_NXZ ; core::ICharacter::IsAiming(void)
.text:1001F262 test al, al
.text:1001F264 jnz loc_1001F17E
.text:1001F26A mov ecx, esi


Do I just need to replace Range Attack's call with the call or do I include the "test", "jnz" and "mov" data?

I still can't find these in my dll...

And when you say you used the animation swapper, did you use the data folder?

I used OllyDgb and IDA to open up Skill.dll.

Then, I searched for CSkillArrowRevolver until I found something revolving around aiming and call.

But wasn't the Elf Lag dll fix by Aldeel a Standard.dll? I'm pretty sure it was, actually I know it was seeing as that is whats downloaded from his thread in the first place.

~has no idea what to search for~

Yea, it was and wish it was updated.

I was using Kev's visual of Fireball's CC switch to try to get an idea of Arrow Revolver to Elf's Range Attack animation.

It's a simple swap in standard.dll.

I don't know what I'm looking for. :(

I've searched CSkillArrowRevolver all throughout my Standard.dll file.

Could you possibly assist us on finding what to switch out?

The level of desperation is increasing and elf lag keeps killing me. Q.Q

Seriously?
