Loading screen #82

Closed mofr closed 4 years ago

mofr commented 4 years ago

Currently, the game freezes during resource loading. The task is to make it more comfortable for the user by adding a loading screen to show the loading progress.

[x] Eager load on main menu enter (mpq, txt, animdata, palettes)
[x] Consider using Unity job system to offload from the main thread and benefit from multiple cores
[x] Show loading screen during act loading/switching

mofr commented 4 years ago

Unity job system is designed to work within a single frame, so it's not appropriate.

@KillahNeo Looks nice! How did you do it?

mofr commented 4 years ago

Regarding your question, it would be really nice. However, I can't include it into the project as is because it's basically Blizzard resource and it's not legal to distribute it. It's possible to make a patch MPQ to override the original resources with higher-dimensional like this one.
