DTMs are SLOW

[DeSnob]

I understand, it's not too easy to search for. However, can anyone explain to me why my fps drops like crazy while SMART is running after it searches? I free the DTM and use it correctly; however, even after it's done searching and just sits idle, it'll lag like crazy. The lag only stops when I turn the script off. It seems like there's a memory issue with DTMs. (I only have 2 Gigs of mem in my temp computer)

E: By the way, this is what I'm testing.
program new;
{$define SMART}
{$i SRL\SRL.scar}

var
x, y: integer;

procedure DeclarePlayers;
Begin
HowManyPlayers := 2;
NumberOfPlayers( HowManyPlayers);
CurrentPlayer := 0;

End;

procedure dtm;
var
d: integer;
Found: extended;
begin
d := DTMFromString('mbQAAAHicY2VgYNjFzMCwmxlCLwDiy0C8FS g+A4ivA/F2IN4ExF/ff0bFjOwMRkBxdMyIBYMBAGE5FJw=');
//:= DTMFromString('mQwAAAHicY2ZgYNjFjMBbgfwZQHwdiL++/wzHRkA+DHMBMSMUAwEAF7QNhg==');
if FindDTMRotated(d, x, y, mmx1, mmy1, mmx2, mmy2, 0, 360, 1, found) then
begin
Writeln('X = ' + IntToStr(x));
Writeln('Y = ' + IntToStr(y));
end else
Writeln(':(');
FreeDTM(d);
end;

begin
Smart_Server := 10;
Smart_Members := False;
Smart_Signed := True;
Smart_SuperDetail := False;
SetUpSRL;
ActivateClient;
DeclarePlayers;
LogInPlayer;
dtm;
Mouse(x, y, 5, 5, True);
repeat

until(not(LoggedIn));
end.

Which function are you using to search for the dtm?
I remember when i tried to use it eons ago, dtmrotated() was very very slow in some cases.

Is there any efficient alternatives? :S I've gotta search the minimap for a chicken pen.

Why not use SPS for walking? Not accurate enough?
DTM rotated I bet is a bit laggy yeah, I think you're going form 0-360, why so many angles? As long as compass is in same angle you don't have to do 0-360, you can just do like 30 degrees or something.

AngleStep of 1 with Start/End angle at 0-360 means it will do 360 normal FindDTM searches.

Regardless, Simba version?

Hang on... I think I know why this is lagging.

You have:


repeat

until (not loggedin);


Are you sure it is not lagging there?

Wow.. I'm so stupid. I should probably use fresh "skeletons" to test scripts right? :p Works fine now.
E: Also, I need it to check through the whole compass because the angles in the script are so different because it constantly changes the angle.

Was it really that causing the lag..? Seems weird since there's nothing between those two lines.

[Tickyy]

The best thing is, don't use DTMs at all :p, just like my Superheater :p.

That's the point. It'll just keep calling LoggedIn. Which will keep returning 'False' -> not False = True -> Repeat.

Oh yeah, It's not an Until(false), got it!
