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

@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.

@Razuhl ~ Poked my head in here, not sure if I will use this mod, BUT, I really like your style and you keep this mod updated, so you get a thumbs up and another award, keep up the great work and cheery mood, we need more of the later. ^.^

@SnapKick Doubling down on my previous answer.

Doubling up on eharper's request. I rather like the full title screen and could care less if performance is a bit spotty there. Could you add that back as an option, or separate mod? Everything else seems rather nice
