Mogen Complexity Seen by Code

[mStation]

I just wanted to ask if the server finds it easier to calculate this code:

D2054  50   50   CaveMaggot  100  5   3
D2054  50   50   ToxicGhoul      100  10   3
D2054  50   50   BoneSpearman    100  10   3
D2054  50   50   BoneArcher    100  5   3
D2054  50   150  RoninGhoul      100  10   3
D2054  50   150  BoneBlademan    100  8   3
D2054  50   150  BoneArcher    100  8   3
D2054  50   150  BoneCaptain    100  4   3
D2054  50   250  ToxicGhoul      100  10  3
D2054  50   250  BoneSpearman    100  10  3
D2054  50   250  BoneBlademan    100  10  3
D2054  150  50   RoninGhoul      100  5   3
D2054  150  50   ToxicGhoul      100  5   3
D2054  150  50   BoneCaptain    100  5   3
D2054  150  50   BoneArcher    100  5   3
D2054  150  50   BoneSpearman    100  5   3
D2054  150  50   BoneBlademan    100  5   3
D2054  150  150  ToxicGhoul      100  10  3
D2054  150  150  BoneSpearman    100  10  3
D2054  150  150  BoneBlademan    100  10  3
D2054  150  250  RoninGhoul      100  10  3
D2054  150  250  BoneArcher    100  10  3
D2054  150  250  BoneCaptain    100  10  3
D2054  250  50   ToxicGhoul      100  5   3
D2054  250  50   BoneCaptain    100  5   3
D2054  250  50   BoneArcher    100  10  3
D2054  250  50   BoneSpearman    100  10  3
D2054  250  150  ToxicGhoul      100  10  3
D2054  250  150  BoneBlademan    100  15  3
D2054  250  150  CaveMaggot  100  5   3
D2054  250  250  RoninGhoul      100  15  3
D2054  250  250  BoneBlademan    100  10  3
D2054  250  250  BoneCaptain    100  5   3

or this code:

D2054  50   50   CaveMaggot  150  10   3
D2054  50   50   ToxicGhoul      150  50   3
D2054  50   50   BoneSpearman    150  45   3
D2054  50   50   BoneArcher    150  38   3
D2054  50   50   RoninGhoul      150  40  3
D2054  50   50   BoneBlademan    150  58   3
D2054  50   50   BoneCaptain    150  30  3

let's immagine that in my case i dont really mind to have mobs in certain places of the map but in general all around it.. and let's immagine that the ammount of mobs is the same, do you think the server will be quicker at spawning them if they where in less lines like in the second case or it will be quicker in the first case?

Short answer no wont improve performance much maybe milliseconds.

 

[Bon]

only thing it affects is how it spawns

the 1st would be better than the 2nd.......... small amounts, lower spread, more coords

however, 1st way is also crap, because u cant just put coords 50 50, 50 100 etc

get proper coords......

thanks all.. i was just trying to figure out if it was much better or not.. since i could have used this method on about 50% of the maps on the server.. ovviously as you pointed it not the best for precise spawns but in most cases this is not required..

 

[Bon]

thing is if u juts do like 400 spread 400 spawn etc... they wont spawn 400 mobs.. it builds up gradeually... and not only that nbut they will all just bunch into a corner / next to a wall.. rather than actually nice and spread out

yes i realised that bunching next to walls and around the main coords spread.. probably it's only dued to a wrong random spread function used inside the server files.. i'm actually looking at this part of code to see if there is a way to lower the memory usage and speed up the mogen process.. not that this is fundamental but it would anyway be nice..

thanks for all the comments
