With 0.0.28 we switched to TTF rendering of fonts and introduced animated tiles on one map (012-3 - the cave under the mouboo hills). Does that affect your performance?

When you would like to comment please remember to state your operating system.

Animated tiles look great!

Absolutely no performance hit.

Compared to 0.0.27 its almost the same

I got:

Constant FPS of 60 without limiter, and with limiter at 200.
I also saw no animated tiles after searching the entire cave 012-3.

Overall it seems a bit choppier for me, text is also blurrier, though that could be a "ClearType" feature, which in my opinion needs the option of Enable/Disable.

5 FPS less. Unnoticeable

I believe I had a somewhat higher fps than usual (a couple of frames). Firefox was running in the background, usually it isn’t when I’m running tmw. But the animations looks a tad strange. I haven’t checked if there’s something strange with my data or so, yet.

The map got screwed up a while ago. When you want to see some non-buggy animations try the cave further to the west on the map.

Thanks for reporting. I'll pull a corrected version of the map soon.
