Option to force GBA or HD textures

An option (maybe in "VIDEO" tab) to either force the GBA or HD texture, or don't force a texture. (Don't force by default)

Justification

The reason for this is because there are many slow computers like mine, and it lags with the HD texture.

Potential Issues

If there are maps that use custom textures, it may look weird. You could maybe have an option to let custom textures override or not.

I am typing this on mobile, so I can't make an image mockup. If I could, I would make a checkmark with the text "Force texture". When it's on, an arrow switch appears with the options, "GBA" and "HD".

The option will be added to a new Graphics settings menu with a dropdown to either not force any texture, to force GBA textures, or to force HD textures. There will also be a checkbox to enable/disable custom textures.

Can I also suggest the ability to choose specific modes to have a certain texture pack (ie. Tutorials, Endless Mode, Daily Challenge) that does not affect the rest of the game?

[chrislo27]

I think the concern is that the built-in modes don't let you change the pack at all, whereas with a custom level you can edit it. I can look into adding the option though to affect/not affect built-in modes.

The setting has been implemented for the v1.1 feature update release, along with a similar option for forcing use of the default tileset palette. Setting either Use GBA only or Use HD only will also disable custom textures.
