LOTR MiddleEarth Tweaks - The Lord of the Rings

v1.6.9

• Fixed Optifine's Default and Smooth updateRenderers Return Values, increasing fps drastically if there are no chunk updates
  • (metweaks-ASM.properties -> "renderPerformance")
• Farview Additions:
  • /cfarview keepTiles
    • Controls whether Tile Entities like Beacons are kept in cache after rejoining the world
    • Default disabled as it may not be compatible with other mods, yet to be tested
  • /cfarview threshold <chunks>
    • Unloads chunks only if above the threshold.
    • Uses /cfarview <viewdistance> to determine from what distance to unload them from
    • Common values may be 1000 - 5000, 0 disables the feature (default disabled)
  • Recommendation for /cfarview <viewdistance> changed to 3-4 times your renderdistance, atleast for smaller values
  • Some more options that are experimental
  • Now also caches lotr biome variants
• Farview Implementation:
  • Added Compatibility with FastCraft (Encrypted code is a nightmare)
    • Now using FastCraft's FastLongHashMap instead of MET's Modified Vanilla one
    • /cfarview useFastCraft to toggle
  • Faster check for unloadable chunks
  • Fixed Entities being unclickable after getting added to a chunk and then not readded to the new one
  • Fixed a minor bug in the command
• Balancing for Camouflage Units like Rangers:
  • Enemies can now target them if:
    • They are attacked by them already
    • From an Invasion
    • (metweaks-ASM.properties -> "revengeCamouflageTargetChance")
  • Set Chance to 0 to disable the feature (default is 0)
• Added biome aliases for northlands & northernForests for lotr event control commands

v1.6.8

• You can now customize the spawning of invasions, bandits and travellingtraders

  • Everything can be setup individually for each world and biome

  • /lotrinvasions

    • Add, remove, list or change chance of invasions

  • /banditchance

    • get or set chance

  • /travellingtrader

    • add, remove or list travellingtraders

  • Feature toggle: (metweaks-ASM.properties -> "lotrEventControl")

• You can now view significantly farer than the server's viewdistance (default off)

  • New Client Side Command /cfarview (Until i maybe add a gui)

  • Command Options:

    • "keep" - keeps the previous world in memory after rejoining a server
    • <distance in chunks> - sets the chunks to keep, recommened to be double your desired viewdistance
    • "-1" - Sets the distance to infinite, possibly usefull when commonly moving between locations that are very far every
    • Use /cfarview without options to disable / enable the feature

  • To load all areas just walk around

  • This feature does not affect server or network performance

  • Nothing saved to disk or copyable, fully clientside, just keeping chunks in memory.

  • Its now possible to bypass the hard limit of 15 chunks on servers

  • If you have any concerns please reach out to me

  • Feature toggle: (metweaks-ASM.properties -> "farView")
