moulinette-core VS foundry-user-latency

Moulinette (specifically Moulinette Core + probably Moulinette Scanes, Tiles, and Image Search given what you mention). It provides an experience more similar to what you're describing to look for assets. I'm too finicky about my file compression to personally use it much - I'm a Filepicker Improvements stan myself as its ability to favorites to the filepicker suites me well - but a lot of folks love Moulinette for the experience you're after.

I'm personally a Filepicker Improvements fan, but a lot of people love bigger overhauls like Moulinette's search options or Alpha Suit's file manager. There's also folks that prefer just working from their own files/internet and go Drag Upload.

If you pay a bit extra you can also get his stuff loaded in foundry through the moulinette cloud

Here to share hundreds of exclusive tracks for you to use on Moulinette from a subscription on our Patreon. Moulinette is a great tool to use external content on FoundryVVT (e.g. ambiences), literally just $2.00 on their Patreon.

so I do the battlemap 'floor' in dungeondraft for walls, major cemented features etc. Then I do the furniture etc using moulinette(good for searching tiles, indexing) + the forgotten adventures free pack in Foundry directly. Keeping as much of it in foundry lets me edit on the fly. Here is what it looks like. this approach allows me to move objects, have overhead items, still add water, remove barriers, etc etc. I wanted something with as little technical knowledge investment as I could while still getting what I needed.

User Latency v1.3.8 Bugs URL

I own the library Ping Logger which just adds in the latency of all the current users next to their name. I find it incredibly helpful and useful, especially when people get hiccups. If you see someone spike to 2000 or something, you can expect to just wait for them to come back.

You can check if the lag is network related with https://foundryvtt.com/packages/ping-logger

We had a similar thing occur in our Starfinder game, though the symptoms were more widespread and affected everyone. The slowdown affected everyone: simply moving across the canvas took ages, and actions took very long to show up in the chat log. This would also show up in the Ping Logger output as a very high ping (12k ping, which is 12 seconds, the time it took any one of our computers to querry the host's computer).

I would advise trying self-hosting first and if it works well for you then you're good to go. If you have lag, then perhaps look into a hosting platform. I'd also advise getting the Ping Logger mod. It shows the ping speed for each user next to their name. That way you can see if any lag is user specific or if all users are having issues.
