Making Whole Map Units Smaller

[TPOX]

Dunno if anyone has attempted to make a whole map unit scale convertion like units spells ect way smaller. prob has but what im wondering is would decreased EVERYTHING by 50% increase performance meaning you could have close to double the amount of units u can have without lagging?
Or is it about the same? It looked better to me if i had 1000 units fighting each other it slowed pc a tiny bit but not sure bout the lag part havent took it online havent really started very far.

As far as I can tell, there would be no reason for it to run faster or smoother if all you did was scale down the units. Actually, I would tend to expect it to lag more because it has to perform more calculations to scale the units down from normal size. You could change the "required graphics detail-" field (i think its something like that) to low detail, and probably make the map run faster that way.

well with crypt fiends decreasing there size in footman frenzy was to reduce lag, wich worked. im not sure if it does it for every unit or just certain units but it probably would work for all units.

hmm well dont see a required graphic field but lowering the graphics for the stuff would make sense since there smaller. Guess i should get started working on it.... everything will be 50% smaller cept heros will be 25% smaller something like that. Gonna be alot of work ;/ wish there was a ez way or program to edit stuff for all units at once. >.< I just want there to be able to create atleast twice as many units ifnot more without lagging everything. ;/

you can copy paste field values... instead of re-entering .50 and junk if you didnt already know.

It seems to me that smaller units would cause it to lag more because the computer has to work harder to display all the little body parts and movements.

doesnt seem like itll change anything, same amount of pixels

 

[TPOX]

so how can i change the graphic detail for units and stuff since its smaller less detail is needed so i have better performance.

i once mad e a minature map with all units being really small and they're base is ex. a toilet a computer or a carpet

coulnt you just do
pick every unit in playable map
-unit change size of picked unit to 50% 50% 50%?
editretty sure reducing crypt lord size andimproving performance was just for low end computer graphic card.

0_o septemer.. october.. november.. december? ehm old topic but anyway, that was back when i was making everything half scaled, units, and spells, but it got stupid because you couldnt select more than the set units to move so it ruined the point of it.
