Arks Mod Tool v1.2 - Camera Controls

[TaigaUC]

It's amazing how much better some of the environments look when they don't suddenly cease to exist a short distance away from the camera.

Edit: I noticed that the low poly mesh triangles begin to become visible when viewing models at close range.
Kinda looks like it doesn't know how to render the shadows when the model is close to the camera.
Not sure if it's related to SSAO (because I have it on).

Reading through some of features... man, I'm keen to give it a go :P Thanks heaps!

Perhaps it's a bit of a misnomer on my part, but update culling refers to how objects outside of the culling range will begin updating at a much lower rate to reduce load on the CPU. Checking this box forces all visible objects to be updated regularly.

Ok I saw it in action, on lobby, on Quna's place, the ball game "goals", if disabled they rotate as normal, if default they can bee seen but they stay static.


Oh and disabling far on lobby can be really really laggy... I think my computer may explode on tomorrow's dance festival if I try...

Still... it's awesome to see this, but even with that few people I was under 30 fps...

I really like this tool, but I noticed that my game sometimes doesn't render things while it's running. Any way I can fix this?

Spoiler!

For me, the program never actually detects PSO2 running. It'll just sit there... staring at it's cheeseburger.

I have it installed into PSO2's directory

C-can I have this version?! Or... or screenshots/video of it. I uh... have a thing for messing games up.
Most of what I used the old mod for was clipping through scenery. I loved it. So much.

You should take up modding. You mess up all kinds of things in this kind of work. I haven't really added anything into the tool yet for disabling the second stage culling, so there's nothing to give you. I can see about getting some screenshots the next time I'm working on it though.

Thanks for the bug report. Do you think you could message me a copy of your preferences.ini file?

I think this may happen from time to time if your computer is particularly fast. The game launches before the tool has a chance to detect it. You may be able to get it to work by just closing PSO2 and trying again. I'll look into providing a fix for this if it proves to be a problem.
