Sure, but like I said I am merely speculating - I would definitely ask Apiai to test with that change and see if it helps before you commit to doing it.
That air brush surrounded by a room brush at the 0 0 0 coordinates was placed there by the people who built Dromed Deluxe since i used the file basemis.mis to build my mission. Don't know if they had a reason for doing that.

I've deleted the air brush and it works, no more fps drops. Then I've created a room brush again, put starting point in it, and I've seen lots of green glowing particles moving and lots of bugbeast flies spawning and moving. So Yandros is right, room brush make dark engine calculate all those particles and can cause fps drops on low computers.

Thank you for your words Apiai! This mission was built by the standard of the original missions in Thief Gold. It's always good to follow the greats i think.
So you said not the air brush is the problem but the room brush. I will delete the room brush in my next update. Thank you for your help!

Just to be clear : I've deleted the room with the wood texture, so I think you're right, it is the air brush. I didn't deleted the other room (StartRoom #30). (sorry I'm not experienced dromeder like you said :D)

Oh, so i misunderstood :) You deleted the air brush. Room brushes are the purple ones that surround the air brushes. They are used for sound propagation. Thank you again :)

There's a readable in a bedroom up high (shortly after you enter the mines) that strongly hints at its location.The prayer book in the lowest level of the mines, in a flooded area, below the water. Look for a (strangely) still-lit lantern; the book is next to it. This is before you enter the Hammer buildings by water, or the pagan areas.- prjames

The
prayer book is in the lower level of the mines, in the inundated portion. It's
under water. You have to do some swimming:)
For pwl: Thank you for your appreciation pwl! I'm glad you had a nice experience with this one!
