Decrease Lag in lobby + Design idea

I did some testing an i think i found the main problem with lag in lobby: Too many things.
there are just too many buttons, images etc

▼for pros

There are too many EventHandlers. Just think about it: Each room in roomlist needs 3-4 EventHandlers:
1) Main interface (You join the world when you click anywhere):
2) Favorite Button:
3) World Preview:
4) Play button:

4 EventHandlers for Each room!

Now imagine there are 50 rooms in lobby. it's 200 EventHandlers! And it's ONLY rooms!
There are also:

• roomlist top buttons

• friends (4 EventHandlers For each one too)

• All tabs (friends, crew, worlds, inbox, news) and subinfo in them

• A lot of things in campaigns tab

• HELL ton of things in shop

• Settings

• Lobby tutorial (it is there even if you can't see it)

  In total it's more than 1500 EventHandlers
  Of course your pc can't handle this!

Currently EE has 3 states: LoadState, LobbyState, PlayState

My idea: Divide LobbyState in parts.
It should be like this:
LoadState, PlayState, MainScreenState, CampaignsState, MultiplayerState, ShopState

MainScreenState Design:

There are Settings, Navigate to CampaignsState, to ShowState and to MutliplayerState in the MainScreenState.
By making this we transform LobbyState to MultiplayerState and remove Campaigns, Shop and settings from there.

(you can logout in settings)

i know this won't be added because there is TON of work to do but i spent too much time making this picture that i don't care

Re: Decrease Lag in lobby + Design idea

I have some suggestions for the picture
- Make the background a bit blurry (not too much)
- Make the "Everybody Edits" logo smaller.
- Move the 3 buttons up (like 4 blocks), it's too much at the bottom
- Use the image for the settings button.
- Why is energy changed into '$'?
- Make a button to go to your inbox and a button to go to the alerts. There has to be a exclamation mark (!) when you get a new message. Friends and crews are in multiplayer.
- Oh and pls not that bird. Don't bring the MrShoe era back, or whatever it was.

Also an idea for the background, but you can't do that in the picture. It should move around the whole world automatically, would be nice.

this is not a legit screenshot from "how it should look"
this is just an example

- Move the 3 buttons up (like 4 blocks), it's too much at the bottom

in my early designs buttons were without those weird areas on the bottom, so ye

- Use the image for the settings button.

Settings + Image = too large
just image = people might not understand
just settings = okay

- Why is energy changed into '$'?

i didn't find energy logo in my files and i was lazy to get it from ee so i took $

- Make a button to go to your inbox and a button to go to the alerts. There has to be a exclamation mark (!) when you get a new message.

good idea! I am thinking about little button, not a big one like those on the bottom

- Oh and pls not that bird. Don't bring the MrShoe era back, or whatever it was.

Re: Decrease Lag in lobby + Design idea

I like the concept of this design (splitting up the lobby). My only criticism is that it is implied that campaigns are not multiplayer. Perhaps "Multiplayer" should just be called "Lobby".

Re: Decrease Lag in lobby + Design idea

That settings icon is in line with other tabs that's why you can understand what it is.

But flying icon in the corner seems bad

Very nice excuse

Just keep it as it is now, if you really like it like this.

Yes
Each time I remove something (friends, roomlist, shopitems) EE gets faster
There is no 'main source' of lagging (like looping animation on the background)

Re: Decrease Lag in lobby + Design idea

Event handlers shouldn't be too bad...
Do you know if they are custom made, or are they built into flash?

The main reason why EE lags is because Flash sucks

Not necessarily, flash did use to have to run on older hardware ( somewhat-older then what we have right now ), so it has to be of some good.
When you're in a world, it doesn't lag ( as long as you've just booted up EE, otherwise there's still a ton of RAM used by flash ), so I'm sure it's some various coding mistakes/leaks.

commas. plsssss

but yes, this is how it should work

Btw, when you switch your state - old state gets "deleted"
this is why system like this is good. While you are using one part - others don't get processed

I think there were ~1000 (maybe even 2000+ if I remember correctly??????) constant players when benjaminsen first released ee
