v1.3.0 Update Changelog
This update brings a new autumn theme to the plugin, which we hope you'll enjoy! ...for the remaining few days of autumn at least 😅
If you prefer sticking with the regular theme, set the new Seasonal Theme setting in the Environment section to Summer.
Performance should be slightly improved in the worst cases, and we've added a few new experimental options, one of which might be interesting to those of you who play without shadows and would like to also disable 117 HD's shading, but keep the lights. There is also now a flat shading option, and an option to have blue water regardless of what color the sky is. Beyond this, the other major changes in this version have already been released, including support for RuneLite's Extended Map Loading, smoother camera and more efficient frustum culling. As always, if you run into any issues, don't hesitate to bring them up in our Discord server!
