How Can I Make My WorldEditor Faster

[Shlomi]

Hi Guys!

I Need Help, I making a new map with some new races and when i go into Objects Editor and creating a new custom unit is it taking 45 - 60 seconds to wait.

my computer is very strong i have:

Intal Pentium D 2.8GHz
768MB RAM

and even when i want to change topic to the units is taking 45 - 60 seconds.

and the point is i have another PC really weak and old he have:

Intal Pentium 3 700Ghz
384MB SD RAM

And he was worked really fast i needed to wait 2 -5 Seconds till he create unit or change some topics..

and after my little brother do some bad thing in the PC i have to format the PC and install a new Windows and after i did the WorldEditor Come Back to be slow....

so my question is how can i make the Worldetitor Faster???
Sorry is it that long please help me....

Window -> Brush List

Uncheck it.

File>Preferences. Set the undo limit to below 100 and play with the other options.

Which number do I need to set to 100?? Under the main editor window "File-Preferences" and then that number that is on 255 normally? (sorry, although I'm not having troubles with English I seems like I can't find it. And... I would love to reduce the time it takes to copy/edit stuff in the we (takes up to 30-40 seconds for some units right now).

It's 256 for me right now, located on the very top of the General tab.

If you already applied the already stated Brush List fix then it's probably already as fast as possible.

Okay... too bad, looks like I'm screwed ^^

That's strange... I run it on a mac (Pretty powerful though), and even without brush list unchecked, it never took more than about 10 seconds...

yes thats the thing. its the amount of "Undos" you can do.

Set it to less than 100. I've set mine to 80 and I have that "brush list" unchecked as well.

That longest wait ive seen so far (since ive did the tweak) is like 0.5 seconds (barely any lag!) so its helped A LOT! used to be like 10+ seconds

im running on a core2 quad 2.4 @ 2.7 w/ 2+gb DDRRAM (800MHz) and i think the rest are unimportant... 7200RPM HDD

But I got to say that my map I'm working on is quite hugh and there are about 250-300 self made objects, which are involved in triggers as well. And I think the more objects you make the slower it gets.

You sure? I don't find anything special about mac when it comes to the "World Editor".

I really need help with this too...

I've unchecked the brush list, set the undo limit to beyond 100 and still it takes maybe not 40-60 but well 20-30 seconds to create a new unit, change names etc...

I'm running a computer with 2.8ghz, 3gb ram, and so on...

 

[Trollvottel]

strange.... i have a not very different pc but for me creating unit lasts only 0.5 seconds, but i have turned off the minimap,too...

 

[Zekareisouji]

Additionally, turning off the unit pallette will also help.

you might want to try monitering your processes with Task Manager and see whats taking up so much time.

less than 100 not more

incase your beyond = more than 100

I'm so glad that I asked that question it seems like i helped to other people...

Hm I use an Intel Mac 2 GHz, 1 GB 667 MHz, and it takes 25 seconds to open after clicking it. I've unchecked the Brush List and also lowered the Undo Limit to 60. About 11 seconds in it shows the Blizzard Liscensing Pop-up for about 6 seconds then loads a new map. Any thoughts how to speed it up?
