NULLED ParticlePictures [1.8 - 1.13.2] | Now Supports 1.13!!! 1.70

Whoops, just realized a bit of debug was showing ;) Removed it, sorry about that!

Hey everybody,

My schedule is pretty hectic right now, but I have once again tweaked some transparency code due to some issues caused by transparency in non-png type images. I'm honestly not sure how much effect the tweaks will have, as I'm having trouble consistently testing them to figure out what's wrong with my code, but I'm pushing it anyways in the hope that you can provide feedback on whether or not you notice any differences in the way (non-png) image transparency functions.

Please feel free to provide plugin feedback about the plugin as whole in the reviews section, or PM me bug reports rather than filling up the reviews section with them. If you liked the plugin, please let others know by leaving a review! Thanks!

Hey all,

I swept through the code again while talking with a developer friend, and we came up with another small improvement or two to make to the plugin. Nothing much big, but I figured I'd update the plugin anyways to get you guys the best version possible

Please let me know if you notice any change in lag from the plugin, I'd love to know whether or not our efforts to improve the plugin are making a difference! Thanks!

Hey everybody,

I've been working hard to implement a math lookup table system to lighten the calculation load on the server. I've also switched some function systems to async, as the lightened calculations mean async is now more advantageous (hopefully ;) ). For now, these changes are being implemented to non-gif images only, as I want to have all of you test it before I do the implementation to gifs for the lookup tables.

Long story short is that static images should hopefully display with a much less significant TPS drop. Running on my computer, a 64 x 64 image, rotating, with a refresh rate of 1, was resulting in <.1 TPS drops over extended periods of time. That's a huge improvement from ~.5 TPS drops on a similar scenario before these upgrades!

I'd appreciate feedback on this system, as I haven't been able to test every aspect of its functionality yet. Please report any odd behavior you see from images, and if you see any performance improvements in your usage, I'd love to hear about them! If all goes well, I'll find out that we've made a good improvement, and I'll work on implementing the changes to gifs soon Thanks!
