Optimizer Mod for online goodness

https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/378149

Ok so first of all https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/378149 <--GO HERE.    Read EVERYTHING on this mod, or skim and just dl it.   This mod changes NOTHING IN GAME-PLAY. The mod however DOES reduce loading time, makes that nasty bogging down of lag after an hour of play move to about 3 hours or four. It works for lower and HIGHER end systems because the game itself has the limit. You can argue all day till your blue in the face about your comp being high end and it not effecting you but we all know it does. MINES AND STRIKE CRAFT NO LONGER MAKE YOUR GAME TURN INTO A LAG FEST (that's what sold me honestly.) Just click the link,dl the mod, and TRY IT. go on a 10 person FFA with vicious comps for about 20 mins and surrender and look around at the planets covered in mines at the least, the lag is virtually gone.

 

Just spreading the word.             Tune~

BTW- The mod can be stacked onto most other mods or use it as the building block of a new mod. NO PERMISSION REQUIRED.

It's a great idea.  Unfortunately, trying to get other online players to d/l and install the mod is like trying to herd cats.  If someone would make an auto-installer file for it, then maybe I could get players to use it.

An auto installer is easy but I dont think it will help

See if I have time to do 1 this weekend. I use Smart Install Maker 5.02

tbh i don't really think it would be a good thing if people started using it online, it would prevent them from playing with people who prefer checksum 0, like me

what is the big deal about checksum 0

it just means that no mods are in play
