[Enhanced] [EA] Senjas Magic Placeables & Accessories v0.2.0

v.0.2.0 Mod-ID: 3802725751 ID-Range: 6575000-657xxxx

Feats There is a free sorting feat available for players, all other feats are recipes that needs to be spawned by admins (found in "Other" section of the admin menu). Currently available: + Fire Magic + Flames

All kind of magic will be covered over time (all elements, dark, light, arcane, etc) There also will be more placeables with magic effects on them.

Content: For each magic feat there will be several buildable spell-effects as placeables and accessories. Placeables do ignore landclaim, so they can be build everywhere. Removal tools can be build within your inventory. They do respect ownership. Accessories are NOT colourable (it's not yet supported for VFX).

To be able to use the accessories you need to install [Enhanced] tot!Custom

Timer / Auto-Destroy Spell placeables got attached timers. They will automatically vanish after 3 hours (RL time). You can adapt the set timer up to 5d, or disable it at all (as admin). When changing timers these will be renewed. You can change this setting for each placed spell within the radial menu.

Flames have a standard timer of 72h.

Size Disclaimer: Although the size of effects can be adjusted using the tot!admin gizmos or as an add-on in tot!Custom, as well as in other third-party modding tools, not all effects scale well. Whilst this works for some, others become strangely distorted because the emitters are not always linked to one another and/or are not calculated in relation to others. Furthermore, not only can their position change, but the effects also depend on the lifetime of the particles and their velocity, which limits the range of the effects. This is independent of any resizing. For rotation I might be able to adjust and correct odd positional behaviour related to the alignment within the coordinate system. Else: the effects are intended to appear as they do at the default size.

Anything else you do at your own risk. I won?t be fixing any visual issues that might arise as a result. But it can produce a whole range of cool (unintended) effects, so feel free to have a bit of a play around.

Performance: VFX are made with Niagara Systems. Wherever possible emitters are GPU emitters. I will cap CPU emitters in terms of numbers of spawned particles. Niagara Systems are calculated on clients and only count as 1 actor / placeable for the server. In Stresstests (SP) of over 200+ VFX effects within an area we could not induce FPS loss.

Due to the Unreal Engine Eye Adaption system it can be that if you zoom into emitters and fill your screen with that effects, that you may encounter a slight FPS drop, when the effect is "too bright" and Lumen calculation starts to take into action.

It's like the sun... don't zoom and look too much into it or you burn your eyes. ;)
