How to disable grass on a LAN server?

[burdy 11]

Hello, me and my friends are playing some arma 2 over hamachi and were trying to find out how to disable grass on the server. Some missions have the option to, but we would like to disable it for all missions (helps with the lag). Any help would be great. P.S this isnt a dedicated server, im just hosting it from the game.

You add it to the init.sqf of a mission.

If you want no grass set it to "setTerrainGrid 50;"

well bassically all of the missions are PBO's and are from CooP map packs, so is there a way to disable it through the server? (so all maps have no grass)

Not without editing the mission no, some mission-makers do add it as an option if the mission is heavy on the user i.e. many units etc..... use eliteness or cpbo to open up the missions.

Download and install the GDT no grass mods. They have them made for some islands and if you have the mod listed in your start up parameters it should lower all of the grass for all missions you play on the supported islands.

If it's for personal use, you might be able to create a little addon that calls setTerrainGrid command on mission start, maybe called through a init eventhandler on the base class "LandVehicle". Make sure to use extended eventhandlers to not mess up with other eventhandlers.

If you didn't understand all terms i've used now, use the search function as i'm sure it will give you enough information to do this.
