Opening Delay

Info for issues with interface taking 0.5ms - 1s to open.

▸Issue Summary

If you notice that your interface takes a brief second or two when opening the first time; this is due to the Background / Wallpaper feature.

Unfortunately with the way Garry's Mod is developed and how this particular panel works; big images will cause the interface to stall when it is called to open. There is no way around this other than simply not designing the feature at all.

Because some people don't mind the delay since it only occurs on the first attempt to open it; it has been included, but with the option to disable it. Please note however, once you disable it; then you cannot apply wallpapers to your interface and will only have the option to use materials, a single panel color, or transparent.

▸Solution

  • Open lua\arivia\sh\cfg\sh_cfg_bg.lua

  • Change the following settings:

cfg.bg.static.enabled           = false
cfg.bg.live.enabled             = false

If you wish to use material wallpapers; which are a lot quicker to respond; please view FAQ > Material Wallpapers.
