tModLoader Uncluttered Projectiles - Reduced on-screen visual effect spam during fights

[hamstar]

Uncluttered Projectiles
v1.2.2

Mirror​

Requires Mod Helpers


This mod diminishes visibility (opacity) of on-screen projectiles during boss fights and invasions. It can do the following (adjustable via. config):

• Affect either player or NPC projectiles (player by default).
• Clear away "dust" (sparks, smoke, etc.) particles near diminished projectiles.
• Be applied for invasions, bosses, and/or other events.
• Be fine tuned for things like clearing radius, opacity, etc.

Source available here. API here. Config here.

Support my mods!​

Any screenshot before/after ?

I could use one, if you're able to help. Just capture a moment in multiplayer with multiple players during a boss fight or event involving lots of player projectiles. You should see the effect quite plainly.

It looks like last update broke boss fights,no projectiles spawns at all,also,do you have a discord?

Can you send me your Logs.txt? It's located in Documents/My Games/Terraria/ModLoader/Logs

The only thing that can could cause a crash, by your information, exists with these changes: v1.1.1 · hamstar0/tml-unclutteredprojectiles-mod@01b8849


Edit: See if v1.1.1.1 fixes this.

Alright, found the fix. Try v1.1.1.2.

Sorry, should have tried testing it myself. Got a bit busy.

The fix indeed fixed the bug,thanks for taking care of this ASAP!

Does this mod reduce lag when it hides the particles or is it just a visual effect?

It tries. Obviously having less particles should mean less computing and rendering, but it does so by checking a 6k array a chunk at a time (configurable amount) to tell what to remove. Benchmarking may be needed.
