[DRG]Scene NPC v2

10/10 caused my first bluescreen due to me making a teletubbie version on "No russians"

now I can recreate "No Russian"

@AceOfSpades subscribe required items, make sure they are enabled, find them in npc lists

I still don't know how to spawn the NPCs

There should be an option to choose between random genders. Overall, great mod

yeah have a good day

otherwise, yeah i understand that badcoderz can drive out some addon creators but you do also have to remember these types of addons are used for roleplaying and cinematics so performance is a key factor in some areas.

have a good day now! :> hope you might be able to optimise some functions to make it run more smooth in future.

(2/2)

ah okay! thank you for elaborating on it.

and badcoderz catches "code smells" which basically means it sniffs out what addons are requesting things from glua code. it's fairly good at catching addons that make a lot of requests or use heavy functions that it deems to be excessive. i've been able to get my fps from 50 to 140+ consistantly because of badcoderz catching unoptimised addons. not saying that yours is a part of that, just explaining its function.

one issue that still remains is the fact that this addon seems to be calling the client to request GM:PostDrawOpaqueRenderables even though no Scene NPCs are currently being drawn and rendered, it could be something you could run a check for or have a spawn script run when one of the NPCs are spawned rather than running constantly, maybe?

(1/2)

and it's gmod, BadCoderz kind of stuff only drives out more addon creators

@Arlo Ecloc the addon does have bad optimization for various reasons, and yes GM:PostDrawOpaqueRenderables does function every frame, but it will terminate on the second line if it's not in the right condition, that for cpu is literally nothing. i don't know about BadCoderz scan, but checking whether if an addon's optimization is good or bad depends on lot of stuff and just a simple scan won't find that
