Description
This is a fork and continuation of jptrrs's Open the Windows.

Creatively named simply Windows, this mod just allows you to build the novel invention of a hole in the wall to allow some natural light and air in during the waking hours.

Support jptrrs, the original author
This mod's origin was by the original author, jptrrs. You can show him some support below:
[ko-fi.com]

Changes in this fork
  • Performance overhaul: Every line of code has been reviewed and updated to any of the latest techniques available to improve performance. Tick pressure is around 5x quicker than before, along with reduced memory use, optimized texture dimensions and load processing times.

  • Seamless textures: Windows are seamlessly linked into the surrounding wall textures. Seamless edits were made by Yap, with further modification by me as well as including any missing textures.

  • Balance adjustment: All windows can now be made of any material walls can be made of, at a cost of 5 * tile (same as walls) + a fixed cost of steel for the window bits. Reinforced windows are made of plasteel instead of steel, locked behind a new technology, and they have been rebalanced to no longer be stronger than solid walls, but rather nearly as good as them.

Compatibility notes
This mod has tight integration with the following mods:
  • Glass+Lights
  • Just Glass
  • Dubs Skylights
  • Expanded Roofing
  • Raise the Roof
  • Better Pawn Control
  • RIMMSqol menu integration
Below are some notes on other mods with outstanding issues I'm aware of:
  • Real Fog of War: Some harmless errors are produced on a save and reload.
  • Rimthreaded: Lighting issues.
  • Combat Extended: Works, but not perfect. Pawns can shoot through sealed windows.

This should be in the base game

To anyone interested: I've just updated the original mod , including most of the optimizations from this fork. It should be save-compatible.

@fabio.pinhao.mello Yes!

Good call, @Admiralthrawnbar! I'm testing an updated version that I just released on GitHub [github.com]
Any feedbacks on possible issues would be great!

@Admiralthrawnbar how do I find the github version?

I case anyone is still interested in this mod, while it isn't the same the original mod that this is based on, Open the Windows, the github version just got an update to 1.5 like 15 minutes ago
