Massive Lag from Flax Field - picture inside

[Chakravanti]

Doesnt have anything to do with client. It lags with the original client too. However wheat causes even greater lag than flax. :[

True, but if the original client lags on a quad core with crossfired boards, i doubt you're going to get decent FPS on ANY machien with a field that size...let alone @ 1920X1080 holy fuck shit.

And yes fields lag a shitload, they should reduce the amount of sprites rendering from it and stop using the stupid random placed plants. I would much rather see them planted in an orderly fashion.

I don't think the random placement is a problem, but I'm pretty sure the large number of sprites is...

Maybe change it to limit the sprites to 2 or 3 z layers and draw those layers as sprites that get used many times? I'm not super big on graphics tech coding so I don't really know how it all works at a low level but I'd bet there's a better way than just drawing 20 odd sprites per tile.

The problem is, the random placement is half the problem.

Instead of making 1 sprite that symbolizes 4 carrots planted in an orderly :: fashion they now render 4-6 different sprites per tile because random placement is involved.
