Backgrounds o' Plenty

The Backgrounds are so… Plenty, but I have been experiencing two annoying imperfections:
  1. When the game opens a first time, every Background translation freezes, like, it's taking its time to load the textures. Normaly, it only takes one second to load, after that, it is normal again.
  2. If wandering Underground, the game lags consistently. This only has happened in the Underground (I have no idea if somwere else), passing from 60 FPS to 43.
I like this Pack so much (and also, I like the Autumn variant), but It would be bad if I have to unuse it just to run the game back to normal.

Sorry if I'm replying late to this discussion, but luckily I was made aware of a possible solution to the first problem by Orion.
Basically, the loading time is dependant on the file size of the background files. The bigger the file is, the longer the game takes to load it in.
However with the help of PNGGauntlet I can make the file size smaller while keeping all the details of the picture intact. That would naturally lead to shorter loading times.
..Or this is the theory at least.
If I'm correct, I'll upload a hotfix with the newly compressed files, which'll hopefully fix this issue.

About the second issue - this is the first time I've heard of a consistent FPS decrease and I'm not sure where the cause for this problem could possibly be.
If you're able to provide some more info (like which packs were enabled, if you're on Tmod, which biome), I'd appreciate that since I'd be able to pin down the cause more easily :)

thank you for your report! :steamthumbsup:

Okay, after a bit of fiddling around, I got it to work :steamthumbsup:
The pack size went from 9.1MB to 4.1MB, which is a 55% decrease. These background loading times should be shorter now.
