Optimized client aka Bison grass

Look at these indscturions. Dont use some shitty speedy share.
Currently its faster to download source code and then install eclipse and learn to compile that client, than downloading it from "speedy"share

Client didnt improve my FPS at my palce at all.
It might be because of flax field? I dont know.

[aghmed]

so far only terrain i can work on is forrest so best improvement is to be there.

Enormous fields will still kill client. Only hack i could add to help ppl with lower pc in this instance was to add ocject draw range slider. After getting some decent test area i will be able to provide you some further magic.

Until i do so i suggest to reduce draw distance if you suffer severely.

If you are based on vanilla source code, you can also add what we've call 'simple crops' (remove runtime crop randomization)

I want to add simple crops and "hide" crops / walls / etc. (we got one of theese in old good Enders)
runtime randomization (flavobjs) doesn't take that much time as chomping it trough .draw(), i think reducing crops count per tile to 1 will reduce amount of objects to drawing thus
reduce time of drawing.

@ I'm not entirely sure what do you mean by vanilla client... i forked master branch and plan to do a pull request when i'm done

No, i'm not talking about flavobjs. Crops are rendered via it's own factories and non-random generation method gives huge fps boost on large crops fields.

Also, speaking about flavobjs - ambient sounds also played via them, and many players prefer to leave them enabled.

There are already many performance optimisation in custom clients

I had no idea that this code is SO tangled
I will have to check does my change with reducing range affects killing sounds (boost mode will do it on 99,9%) and make some fixes (preferable reduce cohesion)

But thanks for sharing this code i will add it if you don't mind

Person that decided that it would be good to add sound to flavs:

Also huge fps drop when:
- Lots of cows & etc in screen.
- Lots of Bee Skeps (animation lowering fps)
- Lots of working Steel Crucible (animation)


Also sometimes client loading object too slow and using almost all CPU. While client is loading objects (or maps - dunno exactly) sound lags too.

It doesnt really matter if you have good computer or not. bottlenecks of hnh will sitll make your fps 20-30 in my village
