[WIP] Optimise User Tag Map Mod to improve startup

If you did a semi-manual install then remove those copies and install the automatic PAMM versions.

Ok thanks

Add votes to this task: PA#4068

question is this for all of PA game, BECAUSE... GW is online too...????

Optimise User Tag Map has been updated for 76766 and PTE 76843.

My user tag map had grown to 915 and is now back to a manageable 45.

Would you be able to move the button for this one back over to the left side of the screen? Now that Cola_Colin added halcyon (Global chat via PAStats), it seems that Optimise User Tag Map moves the friends and the Notifications buttons under that chat window, so they are no longer selectable. If it is enabled, then all that you can see is the time.

Enabled:


Disabled:

on the issue of "it requests so many users at startup", @Sekuraz and myself just noticed a bug in the caching of the displaynames that is causing this:
In uberbar.js it loads the displayname from the cached map:



and then it tests "Do I have that name? If not query it..." Notice what exactly hasName returns ... it is missing a return. It seems it was supposed to do return self.displayName() !== undefined or similar.


@jorgenpt this is really easy to fix

There is not edit of the post. If you mean the red arrow it simply is there to show that because hasName() is always undefined the if (!self.hasName()) will always be executed and thus the code will follow the red arrow into the call to ubernet for every UserModel that is created.
So the only thing that needs fixing is the definition of hasName so it actually returns true or false and not just always undefined.

Moved.

Has this been fixed?

the PTE fixes the bug I mentioned above. That should prevent the issue. Question is: Will name updates still be pushed correctly or will names go stale?

i'm stupid, what does this do in laymans terms?

Install the mod and check the number in the button.

If you play a lot of games the number could be in the thousands and includes your friends and every user you have seen over time.

The higher the number the slower your startup times will be loading display names for all those users.

Click the button.

Is this still functional? I no longer see the button/numbers. I've uninstalled and reinstalled.

It's automatic and included in the PA Chat and PA Stats mods.

Thanks!
