Horde Optimizer

Description
About
A simple mod that can help save resources when there are a lot of NPCs. It is mainly for people who like to play horde survival.

Features
  • Disables rendering for NPCs you cannot see (this does not happen by default for some reason?).
  • A fog system that disables rendering for anything beyond the designated maximum draw distance.
  • The fog system also includes an adaptive mode, which reduces draw distance based on the number of NPCs.

Commands
ho_enabled - Toggle Horde Optimizer. ho_fog_enabled - Toggle clipping fog. ho_fog_adaptive - Toggle adaptive fog (lowers ho_fog_dist based on NPC count). ho_fog_adaptive_ratio - How much render distance a single NPC costs. ho_fog_dist - How far you can see through the fog. ho_fog_r - The amount of red in fog color. ho_fog_g - The amount of green in fog color. ho_fog_b - The amount of blue in fog color.

If you want to bug report, please do so in the "Discussions" tab for ease of communication.

does this work for snpcs?

Could there be a toggle that prevents some entities from not being rendered? The Gargantuan from black mesa flickers when half of it is behind something. Could be as simple as; "Copy paste model / npc name and it will be blacklisted from the optimization" or is it not that simple to add?

works like a charm but i'm noticing it breaks RT cameras, so stuff like breen's monitor is flickering repeatedly
not game breaking or anything just a heads up for epileptic people :skele:

Fix applied thanks for the heads up!
