Sure, http//www.filepl...for-PHL-Server-Guide [-- Link trashed -BI --]
From the entry on File Planet:
This utility file goes along with the extensive Source server guide on Planet Half-Life, written by SRCDS community member Drocona.
A utility file for a Source server? Supposedly does the same thing as the WMP "trick"? I think I am going to go with Industrial's thought on this file:
If you check its FAQ, its used as an alternative to the known WMP trick that also works for CS servers, but fair enough. Though I decided to stop using since it played havoc with winrar decompression today, so keeping WMP running in the background is probably a safer bet for other apps.
I don't know why a lot of you deny this odd workaround to speed up load times and instantly see char models on world loadup, but suit yourselves, I'm happy with the speed gains and it stops there :)
Most likely some of us deny the speed up because it doesn't work on all computers, it depends on various settings, therefore not all computers will find running WMP in the background to be beneficial.
I noticed a horrid decrease in performance after 2.3 so I gave the wmp trick a try and was amazed it worked.
After digging a bit I found posted somewhere that using
SET timingMethod "2"
in the config.wtf might help, so I gave that a try and got relativly the same increase in speed (actually faster but i'm sure that was due to wmp not being run in the background)
I believe that "0" is default and the poster also suggested trying "1" if "2" doesn't work.
I forget if it's been said in this thread already or not, but Blizz is rolling in a fix (based on the "tricks" that have popped up) in 2.3.2. (I think it was 2.3.2... :P )

I think patch 2.3.2 is going to be the biggest and most anticipated minor patch ever. :D

Curse PremiumEasy girly. Don't get TOO excited. I don't want to see you get all disappointed when it turns out less than what you are hoping it will be. :)

One step closer to Blizzard saying "LOL YOU HAVE ICE BLOCK THAT'S ALL WE'RE DOING FOR FIRE PVP VIABILITY". :x
