Map Performance Debugger

A not so intuitive tester for determining the cause of map lag. With this mod you can test multiple conditions to see what may be causing lag in your maps. Simple things that could be causing lag: Too many lights, Too many screens or too many high resolution screens, Too many joints, Too many dynamic objects.

And the big one many people don't know, how much empty space is in your models?
Complex models with a lot of empty space where there doesn't need to be can be split up into smaller models to preserve performance. Basically when a vox model is created the empty space within the extending bounds (x,y,z) is filled in with "AIR" voxels, this is not the same as empty space to the game engine, when the game is trying to determine how to render an object it fires raycasts from the camera to what is infront. These raycasts when they move through empty space are much less performance intense than when the raycasts hit empty "AIR" voxels, these air voxels need to be ignored and the raycast needs to continuously ignore every voxel until it reaches a non transparent object that needs to be rendered.


A tool is provided in tool group 3 which allows you to highlight and find the actual boundary of the object and therefore determine the amount of unnecessary "AIR" surrounding the object.

Alt + F6 Highlight everything within global maximum
F6 + Scroll change global highlighter maximum
Ctrl + Shift + F6 Remove all highlights
Shift + F7 Toggle Screens
Ctrl + Shift + F7 Delete Screens
Shift + F8 Toggle Lights
Shift + F9 Remove all joints
Shift + F10 Activate Look Highlighter
| With look highlighter: X = Delete shape, Shift + X Continuously delete shape.
Shift + F11 Highlight all dynamic objects
Ctrl + Shift + F11 Delete all dynamic objects

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO HARASS MAP CREATORS FOR UNOPTIMIZED MAPS, ITS TIME CONSUMING AND NOT ALL MAP CREATORS KNEW HOW TO OPTIMIZE AT THE TIME OF CREATION.
