Hi All,
This thread is now going to be a continuation of the posts made here: The Scroll - v2.65 PENDING ! (DOWNLOAD WITHDRAWN PENDING IMPORTANT v2.65 UPDATE - TB COMBAT VIDEO HERE!) (I am continuing here as I can edit the post title as I need to, whereas the older post I cannot.)
And for those interested in following the development of the second module, check out this thread: The Scroll - Here We Go Again! (Module Two!) - Episode 4
I just thought I would post another quick update regarding module 1: The bottom line, I am still doing some testing. In the last couple of weeks, I rewrote the companion comments code, which I intend to use more going into module two. However, I wanted to make sure the code was backward compatible, and now all testing for such is complete. It works as intended, with the added benefits that it uses more cutscene conversations without affecting other players in a MP game when not required.
The code required some extra consideration as I had tried relying on a single module heartbeat, which although it worked, I decided it placed less strain on the processes by separating it to fire from the companion’s heartbeats individually.
I have also spent some time going over performance in general, and have randomly delayed some of the more performance hungry calls to help prevent any noticeable stuttering; which while already minimal, has now been been pretty much eliminated.
Testing should be over soon … and again, I will keep you updated. And, just to confirm, the original style “version” system will be maintained, which means the next release will continue to be v2.65.
