Editing Scripts (FPS)

Is it possible to make the script editing part of the window draw at full-framerate instead of being tied to the framerate of your surrounding view?

If you're in a busy sim, trying to edit a script is tedious at best at 1.2fps

No, because the game still has to render everything going on behind that window.

If it's -that- big of a problem, move to a different sim, or edit outside of SL and then copy/paste.

They'd have to spawn a child window outside the SL interface in order to get away from the low FPS.

In the Debug/Rendering menu, there is an option called "Fast UI". (NOT "Debug Fast UI" in the Debug menu!)If you have a high-end graphics card and if you aren't on a Mac, this option checked may speed things up like entering text in a script window, etc.

Beware, this is not a supported feature and has been know to slow or crash the viewer depending on your graphics card and display options. However, if it works with your particular configuration, it's probably safe to leave it checked.

Also just lower your view distance (perferences\options I think is the tab). If you're editing you don't really need to see your surroundings.

As well find a nice quiet sim to edit in. There's plenty of places with no avs and low object counts. Last I looked LindenWorld was void of any objects/scripts/people.. oh wait...

Not really. It's quite possible to render the background every X frames, with some creative coding. This could ensure that the editing window does not suffer. (ie, if total fps < 30, draw background every X frames).
