Previous update inside spoiler.


Old post below

After wondering for so long..what the hell is causing my fps to be so low(terribad gfx card Yo!) I started experimenting:



While it was just mistake while having fun with java it turned out that I found the culprit. My FPS skyrocketed. Texture scalling was causing great problems for my gfx card.
So to make it playable and not so ugly looking I resized all ground textures to 1/4 original size(big fps boost for me) and all terobjs (some fps boost). (graphic quality change is barely visible on medium zoomout)

FPS pre and after change:


Overall I gained around 10-15fps.

Big thanks to Ender for making this client and thanks J/Lo for great game and this debug tool

PS. If you have good graphic card. Don't even bother installing this.
PS2. If you have problems with light/smoke/fire it won't help you at all too.

Awesome. I also gain about 15fps in the forest by using this, from 27fps to about 42fps as a rough estimate . Thanks!

It crashed for me:/

Seems one(or more) graphics got bugged while encoding(used old trav hnh tool this time). Got exactly same report from Gunnar in pm. He said that mod was working fine till he moved to different place and he started crashing.

I tested mod myself on biomes: grass/mapple/badlands/pine and in some big village(tanks guiz) and had no issues with it. Seems I was lucky.
To fix it i'll have to:
a)port an alt to you and see by swapping res files what is causing it
b)or if you don't want my alt on your claim: jump on irc and I'll give you few ideas how to track which .res file might be causing it. Just be sure to tell me later which .res so i can edit zip file from first post

darnokpl, did you happen to crash near to a swamp?

yes I logged out one char near swamp and can't login with this mod:/

Can you login there without my custom_res and make printscreen of that biome? So I can see exactly which .res might be causing it. If I recall right we have 2-3 swamp textures

For now you can try deleting:
yourUSER/salem/custom_res/gfx/tiles/swamp.res and swamp2.res and see if it changes anything.

That can be a problem, I renamed folder to play again on higher res and ported to home:/

I'll do this when I get a chance to play.

Deleting both swamp.res and swamp2.res fixed the crash, however deleting either one did not, which is a little odd (but I'm probably misunderstanding stuff).
