KSPTextureLoader is a library for KSP that takes care of loading textures as quickly as possible with minimal overhead on the main thread.
Features:
- Asynchronous texture loading. Whenever possible work is moved off the main thread so that other stuff can be done in the meantime.
- Performance. Even when loading textures synchronously this should perform better then most naive texture loading implementations. This includes most "high performance" ones you see on the unity forums.
- Asset bundle support. By just using this library you can now automatically load textures out of asset bundles, no other code changes required.
- Broad(er) format support: BC7, that weird kopernicus palette format, and more! Future changes for texture formats become my problem, not yours.
Mods using KSPTextureLoader:
- Kopernicus.
- Support for Parallax Continued is currently in the works.
