oooooOOOHH, it works! I thought the previous instruction says the name should filename_png, removing the extension. Thanks, really helpful plugins!

I'd like some advice about Texture_Replacer.
When changing a large number of textures, my computer slows down when switching stages.
The higher the texture resolution, the more frequently this problem occurs.
(Restarting my computer improves this.)
I was able to avoid this problem by significantly reducing the number of changed image files in ModImages.
However, sometimes...
When switching stages, the images in ModImages/Select/*** don't load.
When I press F12, the texture I want to change loads and the game runs normally.
Is there a way to intentionally make this happen?
I'd like to distribute texture loading by stage.
If I could distribute the loading, my computer wouldn't slow down.
If you think this is possible, please let me know.

Every frame (Update()) compares and replaces all textures in the scene. This slows down the game even when nothing is happening.
You might think, "Why not just replace them when the scene changes?" However, some games generate characters in real time. Therefore, comparing them every frame is unavoidable.
The textures to be replaceed are read from the corresponding folder each time. While preloading and storing them in memory is possible, loading them as textures causes them to be reset when the scene changes. Storing them in memory as bytes is also possible, but this increases memory usage as the number of textures increases.
If you're working on the Manaka game, I'm considering creating a plugin specifically for that game. (I don't have time...)
Thank you for your quick reply.
When loading game data, it seems that if there are a large number of changed textures, the entire computer becomes busy.
Using memory-freeing software beforehand did not improve the situation.
Reducing the size of the changed images did not improve the situation.
If you could delay the loading time of the changed textures...
What if you could pause Texture_Replacer and resume it at any time?
(In fact, Replacer sometimes goes into sleep mode. I press F12 to "wake it up.")
Or what if you could delay Texture_Replacer's startup when changing stages...
It might not be as busy.
The cause is the low specs of my computer.
I don't think there are many people with the same problem.
I'm just saying this without understanding how difficult it is.
If it's a difficult improvement, don't take this article seriously.
Thanks to you, I enjoy modifying MANAKA every day.
Hey can u help me
I use your plugin to change texture in manaka flasher but when i paste the new texture into modimages it seems not work in game. I dumped the game file to see the texture name and tried to rename like with ''Texture_.png" or ''texture_MD5_.png'' but still not work

I'm not sure either.
Try overwriting this into the BepInEx folder.
If your computer's performance is above average, the Select folder is not necessary.
"BepInEx\plugins\ModImages" is sufficient.
For computers with lower performance, it is recommended to place it under "BepInEx\plugins\ModImages\Select\*** (a folder with any name)".
This is because images may not change unless you press the F12 key during gameplay.
I personally check the file names in "BepInEx\plugins\ModImagesDump".
I also rename the modified images placed under "BepInEx\plugins\ModImages" to the same names.

If the image of the vending machine has changed, then I think there is a problem with the file name.
If the vending machine has not changed, then I cannot give you any advice.
