[Feature Request] Please add build-in clip/fly feature from XL_Engine

KOK12X opened this issue · comments

First at all, dear lucius , thank you for your great work(both TheForceEngine and XL_Engine) !

The TheForceEngine have better game performance than XL_Engine, except:

1 no build-in clip/fly cheat feature , in XL_Engine, the player can hold "F" or "G" key to active clip/fly cheat feature , and it is really useful to skip some boring platform-jumping or puzzle-sloved sequence

2 when run TheForceEngine, the cpu useage is as high as 28% (intel i5 11400)

if i run XL_Engine, the cpu useage is just 15%

so is there a way to decrease TheForceEngine's cpu useage?

sorry for my poor English(it is not my mother tongue T-T)

You can already enable flying or no clip in TFE by using cheat codes:
LAFLY and LANOCLIP.

Once flying jump moves up and crouch moves down.

As for CPU usage, the best way is to enable vsync or set the frame limiter to the desired framerate. Note that the frame limiter will only have a limited effect on CPU usage though (but will send less frames to the GPU, lowering driver overhead - so it should have some). Beyond that, TFE is a reverse-engineered port, unlike DarkXL, so any differences in CPU performance are likely related to differences caused by that. Its the price for accurate behavior. :)
