TaCZ Performance & Polish

TaCZ Performance & Polish 2.5.0

Major additions:

• Added global and per-effect AUTO / PERFORMANCE / BALANCED / QUALITY presets.
• Added full Forge Mods-menu configuration screen for common options.
• Added adaptive firefight detection based on recent TaCZ gunfire.
• Added local weapon RPM-aware decorative effect budgeting.
• Added advanced per-weapon effect multiplier list.
• Added age-based shell casing render LOD.
• Added configurable near/mid/far bullet-hole lifetime scaling.
• Added optional visual recoil-camera smoothing (off by default).
• Expanded ADS/FOV response profile controls.
• Expanded debug HUD with live effect budgets, active counts, suppression counters and compatibility status.
• Added per-shot muzzle-flash budgeting for high-load / per-weapon configurations.
• Added per-weapon scaling to tracer particle distance, bullet rendering and bullet-hole lifetime.
  
  Performance behavior:
• Firefight pressure can proactively lower decorative work before FPS falls.
• FPS hysteresis remains active to prevent rapid quality oscillation.
• High-rate automatic fire can reduce shells and decorative effects independently of weapon stats.
• Distant bullet entities continue to simulate normally; only their client rendering is culled.
  
  Compatibility:
• No direct hooks into Embeddium, Oculus or Accelerated Rendering internals.
• Runtime HUD detects those renderer mods for easier compatibility testing.
• TaCZ's own Oculus shadow-pass and Accelerated Rendering integrations remain authoritative.
  
  Intentionally unchanged:
• damage
• accuracy
• penetration
• ammo consumption
• server-side bullet collision
• projectile trajectory / ballistics
• hit registration
• weapon recoil values
  
  Optional recoil smoothing only changes how camera recoil deltas are visually delivered and is disabled by default.
