I am hoping someone can point me to a post/thread or discussion about how to optimise the performance of FG. Some sort of tech specs doc on best practice FG-ing.
For example, I am curious exactly what is happening between hitting the 'Start' button for a campaign and when it displays on screen. There seems to be quite a lot going on and I'm hoping to discover how best to minimise this load time.
I assume the campaign is being loaded with all its images but also tokens. What else is loading and how can this process be sped up? Do modules that are marked with a red cross still get loaded locally at startup?
What are the optimal file sizes for images? Best formats (PNG, JPG etc.)?
How many tokens should be loaded and what file size should they be? How can redundant tokens be excised from the loading (only load the ones used in the loaded modules)?
In short, how can I get my FG to load as quickly as possible? Apart from my local version, I assume these considerations will affect online play, too (I use FG mostly locally). I've looked at the Wiki and FAQ but not found the stuff on this (could be a boy look, as my wife calls it)
Thanks in advance for any help.
