Spoilers regarding the City of Abandoned Ships quest below.
As anyone who's played the quest knows, the end of the City of Abandoned Ships quest, which requires one to swim across half the city in the middle of a hurricane, is slightly more difficult than one might prefer. This would have been fixed during alpha testing, but none of the playtesters reached the end, having died of old age before reaching the Diffindur. Had they lived to report their findings, this is the change the coders might have made:
Open Program/Weather/WhrWeather.c, find the line that sets locations[iCurLocation].MaxWaveHeigh = 40.0 (line 307 in GOF 1.2), and change it to 20.0.
The city will still be mostly underwater, but the water will be a bit shallower and the waves much less intense. It's a bit more difficult to extract yourself from the Tartarus since the waves don't carry you out of if (the trick is to stick to the right side, next to the rigging), but once you're free, you can make it to the Diffindur in about 3 minutes. This will work even if you're loading an existing save.
I didn't bother packaging this up as a mod, since it's just a one-line change.
