I'm a really big fan of the DarkCLOUDS plugin, but is there a way to make it load faster? Running any program that uses DarkCLOUDS takes a long time to start up...

There was at one time a request to save the configuration in a file, so you could reload it instead of waiting for it to regenerate. I'm not sure if it was ever implemented, see if you can find any config file related functions.

It wasn't... looks like Simul dropped any further development on it after about 6 months.

yeah, I've tried writing to simul with requests for an update but got no response. Still a great plugin regardless.

Sometimes I like to use words out of contents

Oh, it really is. Absolutely amazing cloud generation. Bumps up the min specs for anyone running my game, but still. Pretty damn good.
