NEED TESTING...
This mod is being under development...
Testing is the most time consuming while making mods, so I release it now as it is for testing purpose!
Please, if you test it, take a couple of minute to throw a feedback about your experiences!
Like, does it work as intended?


This is a standalone version of the "Animals Render Distance" tweaks.
In case you don't want use the "Impressive Spawns" mod (by besthsq)!!
It's doesn't change anything else.

By default, all animals spawn at a distance of 384m from the player and despawn at 416m.
This mod increase the despawn distance to 686m.. The spawn distance remain the same.

Rabbits spawn at 284m and despawn at 386m.
(To shoot a rabbit at 100m is already "improbable".
So there is no point to leave them at the same values than other animals, other than increasing fps!)


This mod needs more testing... It is not really clear to me how the spawning work !!
Do they spawn AT or AROUND 384m, or do they spawn in between 384m and 686m...
For now I can say that this mod make them visible at a greater distance, but will they spawn at a greater distance, i don't know!
So I made this version 1.2 which keep the spawn at vanilla distance to compare with the 2 other versions made by luzclasil.

What I mean is that, with the main version of this mod you can see animals "already spawned" at a greater distance,
compare to the versions by luzclasil which make animals spawn at a greater distance.

And do not forget that the "Scene complexity" setting is taken into account to determine the spawn distance!

Install note:
There are 4 versions, the main one which is the features above,
one version updated for Te Awaroa National Park by WarbirdRed5 !! (Thanks to him ^^)
and 2 other versions made by luzclasil available as optional files.. (Thanks to him ^^)
xtra_600m as spawn values of 550m to 600m for all animals.
xtra_750m as spawn values of 718m to 750m for all animals.
Choose only one!


Enjoy ^^


Backup:
As always, do not forget to make a backup of your save folder.... I am not responsible for anything!!
"my document/Avalanche Studios/COTW/saves/", then right click on the folder inside (folder name is a bunch of numbers)
and compress it as 7z, rar or zip.


Installation:
1. Extract contents to your "Steam\steamapps\common\theHunterCotW\" folder.
Make sure "dropzone" folder is inside theHunterCotW folder.

2. Add the following line to CotW's steam launcher option, including the dash and dot.
--vfs-fs dropzone --vfs-archive patch_win64 --vfs-archive archives_win64 --vfs-archive dlc_win64 --vfs-fs.
or if it doesn't work try this instead:
--vfs-fs dropzone --vfs-archive archives_win64 --vfs-fs.
