TIP |
Glaves’ tip for Lich is about setting typeahead lines for your ;go2 to give you blazing moving speeds in GemStone! If you have a fast connection, start by trying a value of 8 with: ;go2 typeahead=8 and letting it automatically adjust itself. If you find ;go2 has to start over too many times, back it down one by one until it works for you. Thanks Glaves! |
