I had a fealing it was a bad idea.

The ways SEye works, it has a timer that updates the field every 100 milliseconds. All it does is invalidate the frame the main field is in, this causes the program to redraw it. In the paint event, it reads from 3 arrays, building, players, and vehicles. and displays the info, so it is all seperate.

Now, by reading more data than needed wont affect the CPU usage, unless it is reading from the socket and has to split the data by a delimiter then parse each one. Just one, can cause a "traffic jam" and the whole program will freeze and .NET will shut it down. This will be vary rare and only accour on people with slow internet connections.

I can get it to read gamelogs line by line, it's just like i said, harder. I can get every line of a file into a String array with one function call. No instances needed Smile. In this case, i need to create and instance a read from it.

The harder part i am worried about is the timing, because, if i read it at my own speed it would be going alot faster or slower than it should. My salvation in this is gamelog provides the time that the data was logged, so, i will need to read ahead 1 line, get the time take the current line's time a take away and wait for that amount of time before i progress. Sounds simple, although, i have no idea how i am going to do that yet.



Do you think i should create a "converter" for the gamelogs to make then smaller and easily SEye readable?
