GG2 runs very slowly in WINE. What if you want to host with it?

Solution: fast.gml! This plugin makes all objects, including the entire UI, invisible. This makes the game run at a smooth 30fps... but unplayable. So only use this for server hosting.


// FAST.GML © Andrea ([url=https://ajf.me]https://ajf.me[/url]) 2016
// gotta go fast
object_event_add(RateController, ev_step, ev_step_begin, '
    window_set_caption(string(fps) + " FPS");
    room_caption = string(fps) + " FPS";
');

object_event_add(PlayerControl, ev_create, 0, '
    alarm[6] = 10;
');

object_event_add(PlayerControl, ev_alarm, 6, '
    with (all) visible = 0;

    alarm[6] = 10;
');

There's also view_visible[0] = 0; as it turns out, though I don't know if that actually disables drawing.

You know, if we scrapped Plugin support and stopped piggybacking on string_execute, we could just port the game to Studio and make it *really* easy to run in WINE.

I can't even run undertale in wine

where the fuck was this shit when i hosting test server on my now broken circa 2006 desktop

Might host 24/7 again if i can minimize the game to systray and pretend it doesn't exist as hard as btw does

Vinmod had that feature, see if you can port it from there.

All draw functions do write to the primary view surface iirc, but if view_visible is disabled, the surface won't be sent to the GPU.
