28. Added idle sound to JoJo so he can be heard from far away so you will know he is spawned and where.
29. Increased the monster and player view range to be in range of the looking distance - this effects server and latency performance, the more monsters and players you can see in the distance = the more lag overall for everyone so I don't want to set it too high. The new setting is good because you can see anyone in a normal view distance without lag. This new view seems to be the max I can go before it starts to lag.
30. Removed Vignette from post processing (black edging around the screen) so that the game graphics are more clear. There wont be a pixelated circle around your creature anymore making the game graphics better.
