HP Over Head Performance Issue
sanscriptum opened this issue · 12 comments
Using items on an NPC causes a minor hiccup. Fighting in an area with a lot of npcs can cause a hiccup as well.
Item test clip: (Note a slight lag after the item has been used)

Hiccup Bug.zip
How to reproduce: Just go ahead and use booze or beer on any npc nearby, you should notice a momentary delay after you do so. Trying to fight in those areas also causes a slowdown sometimes.
So if you disable this particular setting, the hiccup goes away? Even in situations without combat, like on video?
Yup. If you disable HP over head, game acts as normal.
That's strange, considering that it only works in combat...
And there's a lot of mods, I think overlapping, too, such as F2WR and EcCo. Maybe it's some side effect. I will try to reproduce.
Can't load your save. Which options did you choose during installation?
Ah, sorry. It's kinda messy and it's been a long time since I did this, but I installed it in this order: Weapons Redone, Endocore Essentials, EcCo. If that doesn't help, I might drop you the archive with my entire game folder, save for master/critter dat as they should be default I think.
But Fallout Update Pack already contains Weapons Redone and EcCo, did you install them twice?
I think I'm going to need your data, yes.
I don't think so, it only contains a mod you can choose to install in addition to incremental changes UP has. You're not meant to use multiple mods though, but I asked the author and he said it should be fine using the order above, even if they conflict just a little bit.

OK, how about this? (Into data/scripts)
Okay, I put it into the scripts folder and enabled hp over head, it doesn't freeze anymore from using items on npcs, didn't try battles yet. I noticed weird floaters though like these, pointing at empty spots, and some npcs had no floaters even after getting injured.
Try this gl_g_hp_over_head.int.zip.
Should clear ghost floaters.
Regarding some NPCs missing them, how many there were? Max number of floaters is limited to 20, I think, so there's not going to be an ideal solution.
Sorry for the late reply, yeah it seems to work fine now. Amount of floaters seems to be lower than 20 though and some npcs still don't have it. Maybe I'm not seeing the rest because I have line of sight setting enabled in the high res patch. But I guess it should work fine during random encounters with moderate amount of critters there.
You can attach a save and a screenshot and point out which NPCs are missing it, and I'll see whether it can be optimized.
