Lets say a person has 200 controls on their ms server compared to a person with 10 controls. What would be the difference in speed? |

Don't controls that aren't actively changing or being used, like buttons, etc. only add to filesize? I can't see a button that does nothing till it's clicked causing lag. |

I dont know, I dont have much knowledge in this area. But everybody keeps on saying bigger file size, slower game. |

Controls add up on filesize rather quickly. Doing all the controls in code at runtime would make it much, much smaller, and do the same thing. AS for "causing" lag, I'd say the amount is negligable. The entire EXE is loaded into memory upon execution, so that might add to the lag... |

Of course, this also depends on the type of control. 20 active timers VS 20 non-changing labels is a huge diff. But I don't use ANY components in my server. I just don't think I need them. |

Joost said something to me before.. If you have a dedicated, odds are you're not going to be looking at the server too often, so why include anything on it at all..? |

Im planning on upgrading my old computer to be my fulltime server. So for me it would still be usefull to have those commands. |

Wouldn't it be better to just use commands? |

yeah its one way of doing things. Guess I will have to code those options into a new admin panel or something client side. |

I would make it a console application. You don't need controls then, and you could even output all the same information. use text commands everywhere. |
