New FLAGS and Updated Room Display Options · on 08/16/2019 13:43 1683
Hi folks.

In an effort to tackle some of the lag we see at bigger events when large groups of players gather, we've updated some of the room window mechanics behind-the-scenes. On the visible side for players, there are also two new FLAGS that will let you customize how you see things (they're also listed in TOGGLE).

HidePreStrings - This will hide other players' titles from the 'Also here' part of room LOOKs (and the room window). GMs and Hosts will maintain their titles even with this set.

HidePostStrings - This one is a little more complicated, but primarily it removes/shortens the indicators that come after other players' or creatures' names. This can include spell/ability effects, fluff items, and status messages (kneeling/sleeping/etc). This shares some overlap with the SET RoomBrief and Description options. All 3 of these can alter how status effects are shown, but the new HidePostStrings toggle lets you tweak these without also hiding or shortening the room descriptions.

These changes have been in Plat for about a week, and they've been in Prime for about 7 hours at this point. We're keeping an eye on lag-focused tweaks, but if you notice anything odd with the new display options, please let us know!

The updates will come to TF in another week or so.
