Optimised Scripts for Orpheus
Version 1. 0. 0
5 April 2025
Optimised versions (mostly small micro-optimisations) of some of the scripts used by the Orpheus mod. Requires the original mod. Does not change any functionality except for improving efficiency.Requirements
- The original Orpheus mod. Specifically: version 1. 8.
Changes made by this patch
- Small micro-optimisations in scripts.
- No changes in functionality (aside from possibly some improvements in efficiency).
Installation
- Same as any other standard mod, recommend installing using a Mod Manager.
- Note that this is not a full mod, just a patch.
- Clean saving should not be required, though to be 100% safe, try to create the saved game for which you first install this file in a quiet place with no combat going on (minimising the chances of any major scripted events being currently active).
(In)compatibilities
- If you have other mods that patch/adjust/change/modify Orpheus' scripts, make sure to load them after and let them overwrite my files in your mod manager.
