Help on my menu

[Reaper*]

I made a menu that shows the map when you enter in it so far it's good.
But if i enter when i'm on a big map or have a weather it takes some time before it enters in menu and even when exiting.
This also happens to me when i use a script and when i exist from it instead of the menu it goes strait to the map.

Is there a way to solve it?

I don't know if this can be done but if somehow by scripting the map could be freezed not still
animated would it make it faster?

Thanks for the help:thumb:

Where exactly did you create this menu? All you have to do is use @spriteset = Spriteset_Map.new first thing in the initialize or main method of your Menu Scene.

The menu is made in scene_menu.
I know that but when i enter the menu from the game it lags is there a way to solve it?

It works i use it so the problem is about the lag.

Oh, okay. Why don't you post the script, and let us take a look? Maybe we can help you shorten your code and make things faster, hm?

Hmmm...tricky...it works perfectly for me...

I tested your script on a map that was 20x15, and on another map that was 500x500, and had not a single frame lag behind.

The only advice I can think to give is switch your Smooth Setting from the menu in the game by pressing F1. If it is set to 40, set it back to 20, and vice versa.

Other than that, I have no idea what is wrong with this. I have no problems with it. I don't even have the problem where it goes from a menu option straight to the map. If that is happening with the Party Changing script, then post it and I'll show how to fix that little problem.

Nono it's not the party changer so it's cause of my computer then it's pentium 3 so it's slow.

The party changer is like that because i haven't decided yet if i'll make it in the menu or called by an event.

Ok thanks for your help this can be closed.

Try to delete the line @spriteset.update in the update method of Scene_Menu, that should stop the animation.

Thanks raziel that way it lags less.
