Arise-SDK v28a - Skit resolution/NPC distance fix

Increases NPC draw distance, unlocks dev-console, and helps modders access engine internals!

Arise-SDK

Latest download can be found on NexusMods: https://www.nexusmods.com/talesofarise/mods/5

(would appreciate if you can update your links to point there instead!)

(I've also made a dump of mostly all the games cvars/console-commands, you can find that in the Miscellaneous files section)

This should help fix the NPC distance issue by changing the fadeout/despawn distances to 50000 - if you have any problems with it please let me know!

(also in case 50000 causes performance issues, you can now change it as of 0.1.6 :)

This'll also automatically unlock the dev-console for you, and allow loading in loose files, without them needing to be pak'd (should be useful for modders testing their changes!)

For test builds & source code check my github: https://github.com/emoose/Arise-SDK/releases/latest

For the Engine.ini that I use (54 changed cvars, all are actually used by the game, and are all an improvement on the default), check the Optional Files section of https://www.nexusmods.com/talesofarise/mods/5?tab=files

Check out my similar fixes for other games too: Automata-LodMod[www.nexusmods.com] for NieR Automata, and DQXIS-SDK[github.com] for Dragon Quest XI S.

Stopped working after March 29th update. Games does not launch if using Arise-SDK. Removing the mod files fix the launch issue. Game sized increased 25+GB also.

This doesn't do anything in arisesdk if you don't use the appropriate setting in engine.ini
"; EnableResolutionFix: whether or not this should prevent game from switching to fullscreen 720p on startup
; for some people this 720p switch can mess up DPI-aware apps like Steam, requiring those apps to be restarted...
; this patch can prevent that from happening
; if you notice any weirdness happening after using Arise-SDK, feel free to try with the patch disabled
; (sdk default = true)
EnableResolutionFix = true"

You only need the one in engine.ini for it to be not start at 720p.

Will this mod effect my achievement?

Wanted to ask, what does MinStageEdgeBaseDistance do even?
I checked 0 and 12000, and nothing changed.

I assumed it was "; MinStageEdgeBaseDistance - if the game tries setting a StageEdgeBaseDistance smaller than this, will force it to this instead
; seems to be used for edge-detection/cel-shading, increasing this can allow further distances to be cel-shaded, likely at a performance hit
; (can be controlled ingame via sdk.MinStageEdgeBaseDistance cvar)"

Tried also changing it in game via "sdk.MinStageEdgeBaseDistance 0" or "sdk.MinStageEdgeBaseDistance 12000", nothing changed.

Thanks for your work. Can I say here, since I can't find where else, can anyone make a mod that adds the demo cosmetic item? As far as I can see it is bugged on pc and it is a pity to not be able to have it.
