EngineStreamingSetBufferSize

Set the streaming buffer size. The larger it is, the more models can be loaded in one go BUT increases the RAM [not streaming memory!] usage. Can help with custom IMG loading speed by reducing pop-in.

Syntax

bool engineStreamingSetBufferSize( int sizeBytes )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: EngineStreaming:setBufferSize(...)

Variable: .bufferSize

Counterpart: engineStreamingGetBufferSize

Required Arguments

sizeBytes : The streaming buffer size. Must be a positive non-zero number.

Returns

True if there was enough memory to allocate the buffer, false otherwise.

Example

This example adds a command that can be used to change the streaming buffer size, and display the previous value.

addCommandHandler("sbs", function(_, sizeMiB)
    local previousSize = math.floor(engineStreamingGetBufferSize() / 1024 / 1024) -- Convert Bytes to MiB
    if tonumber(sizeMiB) then
        if engineStreamingSetBufferSize(tonumber(sizeMiB) * 1024 * 1024) then -- Convert MiB to Bytes
            outputChatBox("The streaming buffer size has been changed from " .. previousSize .. " MiB to " .. sizeMiB .. " MiB")
        else
            outputChatBox("Not enough memory!")
        end
    else
        outputChatBox("Please enter a numeric value!")
    end
end, false, false)
