Lag mod?

[Kit Fisto]

So I was wondering if there is a mod already made that reduces offline lag. I don't want to bother anyone with requests since I've done that to almost everyone on this site. 
Something that, idk, makes really low resolution, lower than 800 x 600. Or anything else. I am currently using sk's endor lowerz and Phobos' plains twilight/ reduced lag. Along with the lowest possible settings.

Note: This is not a request for something new, just asking if there is a mod already made that helps Offline lag, cause that really annoys me...
Thanks

offline lag is aka graphics lag. best thing to do is get a better vid card and cpu, but there are other options.

read thru some of these pages

also try playing 800x600 in windowed mode. make shortcut to main game exe, in the properties field type /win at the end of box.

I wouldn't say graphical lag is it. Heaps of factors can determine the performance of a game on a computer. For starters you don't have more programs open than you can handle? What are your system specifications? 

SWBF is an old game, and has great functions (Turning off shadows, down scaling textures, etc) for running on pretty much any PC.

I suppose that is technically true. But Mac or PC they use the same components the only thing that really separates them could be that Windows is an NT kernel and Mac's are based off a Unix one.

I always play 600x800 and windowed. I never run any other things when playing. Playing with all settings on low helps a lot but some maps still lag offline.     I'm sorry to say but getting any new graphics card etc. is out of the question because it is my dad's computer.

CPU is good and I played on a PC at lowest settings with that much video memory. How much ram do you have? Your not running programs in the background are you?

[Kit Fisto]

My dad recenently upgraded the RAM so now it's really fast! ( itunes used to take 10 seconds to open, now it takes not even 2! ) I couldn't find out how much it was by looking in the settings. And no I don't run other programs in the background...  could using a bluetooth mouse  cause any type of offline lag?

EDIT: could this be it?

Hey Sleepkiller, you said you played on a pc with lowest settings and that much video memory, did any maps lag offline due to brush etc?

maybe your PC needs to be dusted out. that can cause alot of lag/overheat. also check power supply unit

[Kit Fisto]

My mac is well maintained so I don't think that could be it... it is a laptop

Do .bat files even work on OSx?

No, but anyder doesnt know hes a Mac

[Kit Fisto]

In my account I'm gonna put "I'm a Mac" so that everyone knows.  And Buckler I did read that the lagfix.bat thing was a trojan or virus or something like that. Thank You for putting that topic up. I probably would have tried it. Again thank you. 


So anymore ideas for this offline lag problem that has haunted me for years! ( Well not years, I did get the game about this time last month so  )
