Error Check on Ultrastar Deluxe Start #301

Closed diver66 closed 7 years ago

diver66 commented 7 years ago

Ultrastar needs about 10 minutes to start up (i have about 5000 songs in the directory). Isn't it possible to turn off the error checking ? And only have the check run on demand ?

what version of the game are you using and what hardware? Please also provide an Error.log from the installation folder. We tested the game with way more songs already and it didn't need 10 minutes to load.

Hi,

I am running Lubuntu and the latest Ultrastar 2017.8.0 dev build, thanks for responding so fast

"257ers - Holz" << that made be laugh... Didn't know it exists for karaoke! As far as I remember, most of the time for analyzing the song files was used up for loading the song cover images, so it knows how big the SDL_Texture for the image will have to be. As you are running on a rather old and slow onboard intel gpu, that explains the 10 minutes waiting time (especially also if your song folder is stored on a hdd.

I guess you would have to sacrifice or at least rewrite the displaying of the cover images in the song selection screen if you want to get the game to start up quickly on that hardware with so many songs.

Okay, thanks, just one more little thing - the covers folders does not seem to work on linux, its supposed to show - if the option TABS ist set to ON, the images of artist,decade,edition,language,title. Artist and title should work out of the box, since there are images in the directory.

I have changed the path to example C=./home/diver66/USDX/game/covers/Artist/ArtistC.jpg - but no joy - any ideas ?

What does the [Folder] in covers.ini do ? Its also available to choose as sorting option in the game options menu.

set tabs to on and restart the game. then you'll see the result if the song tags are written correctly

basisbit commented 7 years ago

with Folder you can specify folder preview "cover"/image files fort your folders

basisbit commented 7 years ago

when using "language" as sorting and tabs on: image

diver66 commented 7 years ago

thanks, i know this works great on my windows machine, but on my lubuntu , it does only show the default ultrastar image. That's why i think the paths in the linux version have to be adjusted :

English=.\Language\English.jpg French=.\Language\French.jpg German=.\Language\German.jpg

Does not work for me.
