"propylon chambers redo": maybe increases my fps by 4 to 6!
      #2975495 - 08/27/04 12:13 PM

hi all...

I found, on the Summit, a mod, yesterday, that is a "re-do" of the Proplyon chambers. the mod-maker made it, originally, to
cut down the fps-eatingness, the cpu-use, of those proplyon chambers, the places that brings 3.2 systems down to their
knees! He also added some weapons and some npcs.
now these chambers run at a lower fps.

"propylon chambers redo", i think is the name, but it is easy to find in the mod control index, the only mod of that name.
[mw summit is down right at the moment, i cannot check!]

I began my new game with it...as i wanted to try a new game without that leveling mod, version 8, of Madd's.

out in the country away from sedya, i got about 25 fps, at rest.

however, yesterday i also began a new game WITH madd's leveler 8, and at the same spot my fps was about 18 to 20!!

At first i thought that it was the leveler mod, but surely it's scripts are not *that* fps-killing!

then i realized that this here Propylon chamber mod probably is the "culprit" in a good sense as probably the game engine calculates these chambers even if one has not even been to one of them, let alone not near one!!

thus perhaps just using this mod might actually increase your framerates by 4 to 6 fps!!
----and all over the Map too, let alone IN a chamber!

Thanks for the heads up.

I rarely ever go into those propylon chambers, since my computer can't handle them very well. Maybe this mod will help a bit.

Hmm... not to spoil the mood but aren't these chambers always interiors? I don't see how changing them could help overall fps. I suggest you make some real tests to validate this.

Sorry for being sceptic.

I thought what caused the FPS problem in the chambers wasn't scripts (so persistant objects aren't going to be dragging you down), but the particle animation.
