Re: [MOD] Trees Of Daggerfall
It looks like you've got it running pretty well and it's looking good! I've kind of stalled on my tests, but I intend to run the profiler on it and try to figure out the issue.

Re: [MOD] Trees Of Daggerfall
This is amazing! Runs fine for me with the settings you recommended. I'll be looking forward to the winter set. =)

Re: [MOD] Trees Of Daggerfall
Hi VMBlast
I cant see the thread about the Map so I write here.
SO... when you click "Im at" at the global map, the region starts to blink in red. And this red region is 320x200 plus its a bit different than the new map, as it uses the old map layout.
Lacus has opened this to modding, some months back. And Id like to make it a reality. Not only it will be blinking in red (or maybe different color), but there will be the name of the region on it etc...
Now... what I need for that to happen...
Well there are 2 options, one is easy for you and one not so easy.
The easy one (hopefully)
You provide me with some editable format which is still layered. There I can select the region and save it elswhere. Than I add the correct naming to it and it should work...
The not so easy:
You export those regions and send em my way and I do the rest
What I need is the space inside the region borders... now it looks like this... it really is not up to par with the rest of the map
Thanks for considering it!!

Re: [MOD] Trees Of Daggerfall
So the latest release of DFU contains the optimisations I did for nature model replacement. Now everyone can give it a try. (note: it does nothing if your terrain distance is set to 1)
See my mod code for examples of how to change various aspects of DFU: https://github.com/ajrb/dfunity-mods

Re: [MOD] Trees Of Daggerfall
I've tried with Distance 2. Now, not only is gorgeuos, but it's also playable
Thank you!
Sure, there are still a few drawbacks:
Thank you!
Sure, there are still a few drawbacks:
- even if loading times greatly improved, they're still very long: for example, it took me 30 seconds to load the wilderness outside a dungeon. Also, when you move too far, the game freeze for about 10 seconds. I suppose it's due to the player entering in a new map cell (is this the correct word? )
- the transition distance from DFU stock tree to the improved ones is noticeable in the city, and very distracting in the wilderness, where, since you haven't got any house, you can see far more away. It would be nice to have a MOD setting to change this transition distance.
- it would very likely reduce your framerate.

Re: [MOD] Trees Of Daggerfall
The load times are the game re-laying out natures. It has to do more of that to transition from flats to 3d models as you move around the world. 10s seems quite high, for my system it was much less. Mods do require better specs of PCs to work well sometimes.Firebrand wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2019 12:01 pm I've tried with Distance 2. Now, not only is gorgeuos, but it's also playable

Regarding transition distance I am not sure what you're saying here. Maybe some screenshots to explain would help. There's not really a way to change the transition distance as it's based on terrain chunks of the underlying streaming world.

Re: [MOD] Trees Of Daggerfall
V1.0 is out.

Big thanks to @Hazelnut! Cheers man
Ive added one more transitional LOD (when compared to the last version). So there are now 3 LODs: highest, mid one and billboard.
