More graphics options

This REFramework script allows you to adjust a variety of graphics options with the goal of increasing performance.

Here are some options that lead to the biggest improvements:

- Environmental object culling: Hides various small environmental objects which can lead to a significant increase in framerate! See the images for examples.

In addition, there are options for what object types to hide:

- Tall grass. Significantly increases framerate in the Windward Plains' open grassy area.

- Flowers, shrubs, some trees.

- Rocks, ice, rubble.

- Decorative objects (not the stuff you slot in your gear).

- Lights. Specifically small light sources like from torches and Scoutfly cages.

- Particles. Dust, sand, leaves, etc.

- Mesh level of detail (LOD) bias: Controls the level of detail of many objects including monsters. This can lead to funny low poly monsters like those screenshots from the beta.

- Foliage LOD offset/bias: Controls the level of detail of environmental objects like plants and rocks. This can help a lot for framerate, but there may be a lot more noticeable pop-in.

- Texture LOD bias: Changes the way the game samples textures with distance. May not work with Special K with certain settings.

- Disable dynamic shadows: Does as stated.

- Dynamic shadow quality: Controls the resolution of dynamic shadows. You can set it below the game's "lowest" setting.

  - Ambient lighting quality: Controls the quality of ambient/volumetric lights. It makes some areas look weird but significantly improves framerate.

- Particle effects density: Controls the density of most particle effects. Low values help to prevent framerate dips when fighting certain monsters.

See the screenshots in the media tab for examples.

More might be added with time.

Coming later maybe:

More effective hiding unloading of distant areas.

Installation:

Get REFramework then extract the archive to the REFramework folder.

Enjoy, and happy hunting!
