Greetings fellow Fredians,
Well, been a VERY busy morning... some of the work I am doing you won't see for sometime, if at all!. Because I am beta testing the next version of the NPC activities in a seperate version of Fredian as well as working on the main used mod.
On the main mod side of things, I have begun trimming area sizes to no more than 16x16 for those over... today..
1. Changed Fredian Desert South - Cave City. Those familiar with that area will know it was HUGE 30x30 in fact
and although VERY impressive, I am sure was a nasty place to load for low spec PC's and bad connections. Anyway, I have remade in total right down to where and how spawns work in it, and obviously it's layout.
2. Removed more of the CEP placeables and some sounds out of Styne Castle Dungeon level 3, I can think of NOTHING else now that could possibly cause players to have issues with their particular hardware setups. My previous removal of the head etc stopped my personal crashes 100% and a number of others also reported no problems. But some did still, including Mack, so, this is the final thing... anything beyond would mean removing that map and remaking it from scratch, in case some kind of bug is in it.
Ok, all for now.
Enjoy,
Makz.
