How to freeze your computer ?

[Adra]

Some people wonder why their computer slow down or freeze when opening a panel...

You know the war steed panel :




The Lotro designers use to divide graphic elements in several picture fragments in order to allow displaying it in different sizes, usually 9 to 12 picture files are needed to display a single clickable button (left/center/right declined for normal/mouse over/pressed/ghosted).

Now guess how many picture files are involved in the design of the single button below :

  <Mapping ArtAssetID="button_right_ghosted" FileName="button_right_ghosted.tga"></Mapping>
  <Mapping ArtAssetID="button_right_highlighted_mouseover" FileName="button_right_highlighted_mouseover.tga"></Mapping>

(If you look closer, you will notice that "button_bottom_mid_pressed" is missing (it has been removed, with 3 other files, in a previous update), indeed it appears that "button_bottom_mid_normal_2" is used twice and replaces it, this explains why the pressed button looks weird.)

--> The answer is 62 ! Yes, this little poorly designed button is composed of 62 picture files !!!

Cross fingers your hard drive isn't fragmented !
