Yes. This thing bugs me from a very long time. Sometimes when I have many process' running at time (Like all-my-programs-needed-to-be-run-to-have-internet-connection-on, or Virus scanning, or some p2p) there is a really big lag while going to the next room. Sometimes after 30 seconds or more I move the player, and realize that it wasn't loading. I hate it simply and really (This almost always happens when there is no way to get to the next room through that "Gap" between walls next to edge (But it looks like it should be there).

So I ask for a little "Room loading" text showing at the bottom panel (There is some unused space in JTRH, no idea how it will look in eeee.... I keep forgotting how the next drod is called... TCB) whcih appears when we are going to the next room, and disappears after fully loading of this level...

Thanks.

Actually, I doubt this is because of the next room loading, but rather because the CaravelNet connection takes it's time.

But anyhow, if the game could indicate that it loading data from disc, sending data to the server or waiting for data to come back over the network the waiting itself would be a lot less frustrating...

But... But.... But... It is so hard for me to tell this... 'cause this will break your whole post, but I have no choice... I must tell the truth...

Actually...

I know this is sad but...

I HAVE NO CARAVELNET CONNECTION ACTIVATED!
I HAVE NO CARAVELNET MEMBERSHIP!
*sniffs*
It is so hard to me...

Good idea. I have likewise occasionally waited, without realising that I never stepped out of the room.
It shouldn't be hard to code, either.

wow i didn't realise that sometimes it took people a while for the room to load, that doesn't really happen to me, but for people it does happen too, good idea!

I look at Beethro. If his eyes aren't moving, it's loading.
Which isn't to say I disapprove of skell's idea.

Rather than request this anew, I'm bumping this topic because with non-Beethro avatars the method I mentioned now doesn't work and I would welcome this change.

You're absolutely right Jatopian. I play DROD on 2 comps, a fast one and a slow one. On the slow one, it takes about 10 seconds to load a room. It should be nice if there was a message that said "Loading room" or something like that.
