A question of sheep or no sheep
« on: October 17, 2007, 01:01:57 am »
I am of the opinion that Hydlaa needs free roaming sheep, goats and donkeys.

Here is my reason: The place has become overgrown with long grass and this is slowing movement down to almost a crawl.  The stuff must be incredibly thick and a force of nature to make a Kran slower than it already is.

When the long grass was only in the Gazebo area by the Hydlaa plaza, it was fine.  It slowed things down a bit when having to go in that area, but now, with the stuff all over town....oh boy.... :o I can hardly run let alone walk through town now.

Harnquist's smithy is just about unpassable for me now.

I say we get some sheep, goats, donkeys or whatever other grazing animals out there, to come and chew this stuff down.
We can use the by product (manure) to "spread good will".  *giggles uncontrollably*

(In case it was missed, this is a complaint about the lag the grass is causing, when loading with every move in Hydlaa.  ;) )

In case it was missed, there are many other threads with the same message. No need to start another one.

There are some files and posts floating about that will tell you how to remove the grass, for me however remeoving the grass did very little.

Go to your options, graphics, detail and either lower your distance until you lag no more ... or set it to adaptive distance, chosing the frames per second (FPS) you can live with. 20-25 should be enough to see no lag.

I think most of the slowness is due to the lighter2 slowness bug and not the grass.  We've been battling the lighter2 slowness bug ourselves over in PT so I think that might be part of what ails everyone.    One possible solution is to relight the map yourself, for some reason that *may* have a very positive effect.

[this is only for people that have ligher2 --relight will not work with the new maps]

Thank you, Zan.  This has proven to be most helpful. 
I guess we don't need sheep after all...lol
