Is there a way to speed up mod loading? #1

Is there a hook that can take control of the mod loading? If there is, I can make it multithreaded.

SamboyCoding commented 5 years ago

I don't have a hook for it, though there probably IS one that can be done, but messing with the mod loading is perhaps not a good idea. I did consider it, though.

linonetwo commented 5 years ago

Okay, maybe just wait for Tynan to do it.

SamboyCoding commented 5 years ago

No, i'll reopen this, as it's interesting. I'll see if I can get it working :)

I'm currently using rimthemes to get loading progress info, since your mod is not uploaded to steam workshop currently.

And I found the most time-consuming step is "parsing default values", but I'm not sure. If your mod has a statistic analyze report, it will be more clear which part is the most important part to optimize.

Tynan said he will optimize it in the future, but I don't know when.

You do know you can install non workshop mods on the steam version of the game, right?

Is this relevant now? maybe to be closed?

Yes, glad that we have a mod in the workshop that can speed up mod loading, and later Tynan integrate that mod into the core!
