MUTINY+

A continuation of this hotfix mod, MUTINY+ simply cleans up the loading loop to ensure data is pulled from the save file (a failsafe if packet data isn't working) as well as works to restore various features removed from dedicated servers and fix small errors in the blueprints. Best accompanied by following this guide for optimization on the server end.


Prior to using if you are a wandering stranger, you may want to reference the contributions I've made to this thread[forums.funcom.com] on the official Funcom forums for a detailed explanation to thrall command issues.



Any errors saying a "bad function passed" on Loading Delay can be ignored; I thought I'd gotten rid of them but they apparently randomly show up. It's just the function fussing that it has successfully loaded the data but isn't allowed to progress until the timer finishes (usually happens to NPCs with small data pools). Likewise, if you see an error about a "level" failing to load from this mod, you can ignore that as well--it's a lingering message from some WIP edits I haven't actually bundled into the mod yet.

If you are still getting series of errors stating that thrall data has failed to load, this is generally due to lingering data in the save file for dead or deleted thralls not being able to load in because--well, they aren't supposed to be there. If, prior to the series of errors, it legitimately lists a summary of the NPC identification data, this may be a thrall that is refusing to load (which could be for a variety of reasons), or it may just be lingering data.

In MOST cases, I've found these errors firing off with no coordinating error listing the identifying NPC data, which means it's just a ghost of a thrall in your database. You can safely ignore these errors only when they don't list the NPC data beforehand; you may want to investigate if it DOES list the data to make sure it's not a present thrall otherwise.



Due to the inherent nature of fixing existing errors, a lot of game files are edited over having custom content injected in them. A few files were not edited in entirety for their fixes--god bless variables--but the rest unfortunately had little choice. You can find the complete list below:


Files Edited Through a Modcontroller
Unless running a mod that happens to edit the same variables, these shouldn't conflict with anything.
1) BasePlayerChar: slightly modified jumping velocity to mitigate z-axis micro-stuttering

2) NavQuery_PurgePaths: slightly modified the array to reduce purge waves spawning in inappropriate places

Upcoming Changes:
Currently chipping away at fixing fog, light, shadow, and distance rendering on the ConanSandbox level for optimized performance. Possible to include optional custom pets for thralls and some stat balancing since Funcom's nerfbat.




Forever a WIP in content as I chip away at certain restorations and updates to meshes. Designed for my experimental servers, but if you've made it this far, feel free to use it for yourself--though I strongly suggest reading the links in the beginning of this post for background.
