Performance Stripper

Description
Fixes bugs in layouts and tactical maps to improve performance. In addition assets are stripped from maps and resources to improve fps even further.

Changes
Frontend_Scene.rpk -> fx -> Frontend Portal removed
-> Frontend PortalFogGround removed
-> FireSides2 removed
-> FireSides3 removed
This removes part of the portal on the titel screen, increasing performance during the creation of a new game.

UnitTransformation_Scenes.rpk -> Scene: Unit Transformation + Scene: Unit Enchantment -> Entity Definitions -> BackgroundDef switched and realigned
-> magic fire all scaled to zero to hide them
Changed background for transformation and enchantment scene to the simpler background of the unit info screen.

ItemForgeScreen.xaml MainSceneRenderScaleModifier
TomeOfWondersScreen.xaml MainSceneRenderScaleModifier
UnitPanel.xaml MainSceneRenderScaleModifier
HeroRecruitmentScreen.xaml MainSceneRenderScaleModifier

Setting MainSceneRenderScaleModifier to zero hides for example the strategic map when looking at fullscreen layouts like the tome of wonder or the item forge. Normally the map is drawn first and then the layout is drawn on top completely covering it.

Fallen Tower Map Removed braziers, purple light columns, spiral staircase, fade black blockers

Tomb Map Removed bones, spiderwebs, lights and fog

Secret Temple Map Removed fog, lights, fade black blockers

BEST MOD you are a lifesaver, cpu bottlenecks is a pain and this solves it

Will this improve turn times? That's my biggest problem in the late game.

Sweet, thank you!

@Emperor2000 @Zeri Thx for reporting, should be fixed.

Yeah, can confirm. Everything else seems to be working. I was really wondering what was causing the forge to act up, really didn't want it to be the only mod that actually makes this game run reasonably well.

This Mod breaks currently the Ability to create Items in the Item Forge, at least from Blueprints, because it crashes the Game, when clicking on any Blueprint to craft.

@EdTheMad Thx for reporting, should be fixed.

Are forests supposed to disappear? It’s happening for me, and based on the mod description, it seems like an unintended consequence.

I normally don't give a fig about performance but this mod lets me run my screen magnifier at the same time as the game without substantial stuttering so this is now a permanent part of my load order.
