This function changes the behavior of the GTA:SA streaming system. It is meant to optimize the performance of the game for your custom server. Changes in these properties affect the gameplay quality of the entire server.

Syntax

bool engineStreamingSetProperty ( string propertyName, var propValue )

Arguments

  • propertyName: the name of the streaming property you want to change
  • propValue: value to pass to the property

Valid Properties

Useful Media

Returns

Returns true if valid arguments have been passed, false otherwise.

This snippet sets the Streaming GC system to sparse mode. In this mode only the preallocated amount of Streaming GC nodes is allowed. Keeping a low amount of Streaming nodes is interesting for performance optimizations.

engineStreamingSetProperty( "gcOnDemand", true );
engineStreamingSetProperty( "infiniteStreaming", false );
engineStreamingSetProperty( "strictNodeDistrib", true );

This snippet turns on fibered loading when the Streaming system is busy and leaves it that way for five seconds.

engineStreamingSetProperty( "isFibered", false );

local lastBusyTime = false;
local fiberedDuration = 5000;

addEventHandler( "onClientRender", root,
    function()
        local isBusy = engineGetStreamingInfo().isBusy;

        if ( isBusy ) then
            local now = getTickCount();

            if not ( lastBusyTime ) then
                lastBusyTime = now;

                engineStreamingSetProperty( "isFibered", true );
            end
        elseif ( lastBusyTime ) then
            if ( now - lastBusyTime > fiberedDuration ) then
                engineStreamingSetProperty( "isFibered", false );
            end
        end
    end

This snippet makes the world load very slow. Lag spikes cannot occur due to Streaming loading anymore.

engineStreamingSetProperty( "isFibered", true );
engineStreamingSetProperty( "fiberedPerfMult", 0 );
