hunkMegs

by Clerfayt • 25 Oct 2006, 10:16 • Forums › Enemy Territory
how do you measure how much of hunkMegs (the size equivalent to let's say 200MB) enemy-territory uses?
I see there is a file "hunkusage.dat" in etpro folder and to my surprise less than 50MB is used in standard maps.
Isn't it retarded to use 4xmore memory for hunkmegs then needed or is "hunkusage.dat" something else?

com_hunkmegs should be maximum 3/4th of your total RAM.

128/196/256 should be way more than enough

No. You shouldn't use more than the 3/4 of your Ram Size. I heard that it will not take any effect if u use more than 384.

Press, ctrl+alt+del it wil show you how much ram ET is using.
Dunno if that is what you meant.

well I want to know how much hunkmegs is used so ctrl_alt_del isn't going to show me that cause zone,sound and hunkmegs are independent...
isn't hunkusage.dat for it?

wtf is "hunkusage.dat" or "com_hunkused" then?

example:
look at your hunkusage.dat
"maps/goldrush.bsp 38827456" - this is freaking 37MB now tell me what is wrong with people who say "set hunkmegs to half the amount of RAM in your computer" - do they have the same disease who say "set virtual memory size in windows 1.5times your ram"?
