Cleaner Battlefields
This mod enhances gameplay by making enemies vanish after death and reducing arrow lifespans, aiming to optimize performance and create a polished experience.
I’m running short on time to publish this mod, so there may be many enemies that do not vanish, feedback on enemy will be great.
(NOTE: Both ‘Enemies Only’ and ‘Standard’ versions are combined into a single zip file, I have not tested the separate versions, due to last minute changes)
Cleaner Battlefields
Enemies vanish after death and the arrow’s life is shortened to 1 minute, instead of 3.
Can probably improve performance a little, that’s my goal.
WARNING: You will most certainly be banned if you play online with this mod active.
Enemies Only
It only cleans up the enemies.
arrows last the default time.

Other
Useful modder knowledge
If you wish to make enemies fade like bosses do, switch 4300 in the NpcParam, to 4301.
spEffect 4300 (normal fade), 4301 (boss fade), 4302 (spirit summon fade)
Mainly used (selection: spEffectID1: = 4300; && selection: spEffectID31: = 4300;)
Find the enemies:
– DS Map Studio > Param Editor > NpcParam, search up `prop spEffectID31 4300 && prop spEffectID1 4300`, maybe separate if you’re going to mass edit.
Find the arrows:
– DS Map Studio > Param Editor > Bullet > search up `modified` or `modified && vanillaprop life 3`, change Duration (life) to whatever
(NOTE: I do not recommend going under 0.4)
