Dramatic Shape 1.6.0-android.2 — Android performance fork

What changed

• Removes the empty translucent battle-status backings when a companion-screen mod moves those HUD panels to another display.
• Keeps normal single-screen battle HUDs unchanged; the compatibility path only applies when the panels were explicitly moved.
• Corrects the runtime version export to 1.6.0-android.2.
• Retains upstream Dramatic Shape 1.6.0, its optional Stadium renderer, and this fork's Android frame-pacing and mesh-build changes.

Install

Kanto Gear does not require this mod. Install DRAMATIC_SHAPE-1.6.0-android.2.zip only if you want the tested Android 3D renderer. Remove another Dramatic Shape installation first because both packages intentionally use the same mod ID.

This is an unofficial Android-only performance fork for the Kanto Gear 1.3.0 release set. PC users should use the official Dramatic Shape Voxel Mod. No ROM, Stadium model or game data is included.

Dramatic Shape 1.6.0-android.1 — Android performance fork

What changed

• Rebased the Android performance fork from Dramatic Shape 1.5.5 to upstream
  1.6.0.
• Includes upstream's optional Pokémon Stadium battle renderer and extraction
  path. It remains inactive unless the user explicitly supplies and processes
  their own supported Stadium ROM.
• Retains the Android mesh-build budgeting, chunk culling, frame-pacing and
  loading-cover work from this fork.
• Keeps V-CURVE off by default and does not install the unrelated Horde entry
  point. Existing saved graphics choices are preserved.
• Automatic mod updates remain disabled to prevent this fork being silently
  replaced by the official PC-oriented package.

This is an unofficial Android-only performance fork for the Kanto Gear release
set. PC users should use the official Dramatic Shape Voxel Mod. The original
project, code, assets and licenses remain with their respective owners. No ROM
or game data is included.

Dramatic Shape 1.5.4-android.2 — Android performance fork

Dramatic Shape 1.5.4-android.2

This is an unofficial Android-only performance fork of Dramatic Shape Voxel
Mod 1.5.4 for the Kanto Gear release set. We love the original mod and
recommend its official release on PC; this fork only exists because Android
handhelds need additional frame-pacing and loading work.

This mod is the recommended renderer for the complete tested setup alongside
Gen1Recomp Android test 0.1.64-kanto.2
and Kanto Gear 1.1.0.
Kanto Gear can run without it, so this remains an optional dependency.

Changelog since 1.5.2-android.1

Upstream

• rebased onto official Dramatic Shape 1.5.4
• includes the complete official 1.5.3 and 1.5.4 content

Performance and loading

• cooperative first-build loading and spatial chunk streaming
• camera culling and upstream decoded-image reuse
• reduced seam-crossing stalls and split static/actor shadow rendering
• Android-tested defaults plus optional renderer quality controls

Compatibility

• front-sprite mods compose correctly in staged battles
• compatibility updated for the Gen1Recomp 0.1.64-based Android host
• automatic fork updates are disabled to prevent accidental replacement

Verified on an AYN Thor running Android 13. Other Android devices may behave
differently. The original project's ownership and license remain intact; this
package is optional and contains no ROM or game data.

Dramatic Shape 1.5.2-android.1 - Android performance fork

Dramatic Shape Voxel Mod 1.5.2-android.1

This is an unofficial Android-only performance fork for the
Kanto Gear 1.0.0 public test,
based on Dramatic Shape Voxel Mod 1.5.2.

We love the original mod and recommend the
official Dramatic Shape release
on PC. This fork exists because Android handhelds need additional frame-pacing
work; it is not distributed as a PC or PCVR replacement.

Install

1. Remove the official Dramatic Shape Voxel Mod from the host's MODS tab if
   it is installed. Both packages intentionally use the same mod ID.
2. Import DRAMATIC_SHAPE-1.5.2-android.1.zip through MODS > Import mod .zip.
3. Confirm the experimental-mod warning and enable it.

A fresh install starts at VOXEL 35, BALANCED, T-SHIFT 3 and
V-CURVE 2. Existing saved choices are not replaced. Updates are installed
manually; the fork does not use the upstream launcher updater.

Scope and limits

• Cooperative terrain builds, camera-culling, split static/dynamic shadow
  updates, deferred mesh release and optional graphics presets target stalls
  and frame pacing rather than promising a higher average FPS.
• Verified on an AYN Thor and intended for comparable Android handhelds.
  Performance and GPU-driver behavior can differ on other devices.
• Fancy water with V-CURVE may fall back to ordinary animated tiles on the
  Thor's Adreno GPU. This release carries the upstream 1.5.2 water path.
• Horde, PCVR runtimes and later upstream feature additions are not included.

contributors. See the included LICENSE and repository README.
