Custom - stop preloading custom models

A lot of customs nowadays have a 'raw' folder in their cache, and a preload method during client startup, caching thousands of models will heavily increase your memory usage.

First, remove the method your using to preload your models, this is usually found in Client.java and is usually called void preloadModels()

Next, go to Model.java and place the changes or methods yourself - WARNING THAT THIS IS ON A RUSE CLIENT AND VARIABLE NAMES AND/OR METHOD NAMES MAY BE DIFFERENT TO YOURS

public static Model fetchModel(int j) 
{
   if (modelHeader == null)
      return null;
   if (j == 0)
      return null;
   ModelHeader class21 = modelHeader[j];
   if (class21 == null) {
      File file = new File(signlink.findcachedir() + "data/raw/" + j + ".dat");
      if(file.exists()) {
         byte[] buffer = ReadFile(signlink.findcachedir() + "data/raw/" + j + ".dat");
         readFirstModelData(buffer, j);
         return new Model(j);
      }
      resourceManager.get(j);
      return null;
   } else {
      return new Model(j);
   }
}

public static boolean modelIsFetched(int i) {
   if (modelHeader == null)
      return false;
   ModelHeader class21 = modelHeader[i];
   if (class21 == null) {
      File file = new File(signlink.findcachedir() + "data/raw/" + i + ".dat");
      if(file.exists()) {
         byte[] buffer = ReadFile(signlink.findcachedir() + "data/raw/" + i + ".dat");
         readFirstModelData(buffer, i);
         return true;
      }
      resourceManager.get(i);
      return false;
   } else {
      return true;
   }
}

This will now only load the models as you need them.

or just pack them makes 0 difference :) but nice work

Thanks for sharing this, Adam! I hope others find this information useful 🙂
