Simas 12 Posted August 26, 2013 @NordKindchen: How are the tree/bush shadows implemented? Are they part of the mid-range? And is there a way to add them to your mid-range replacement project? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devs finally are not afraid to cooperate with it's community, to improve the game (not only feedback wise) :) Devs and Neuro :dancehead: NeuroFunker : do you have planned texture for underwater ?

Bashka_IF 1 Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) WTF people - show some consideration for those of us at work. PICTURES, goddamnit :cool: it's a dream ! no flight simulators give such a detailed landscape! first you need to add launch parameter -mod=@performance_test enabling the mod from menues did not work. then I had hard time tweaking setting so detailed textures does not dissapear. usually helped switching to lowers setting, then to High (using combo-box, not manually each setting) and now pictures, click to view 100% (btw original is 1920x1200): http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/903257625023162699/48609DD3134FD130395C3A5F0B26CB1B37CEA527/ http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/903257625023175298/B390B4F41C3E1676B3FA94E0C1C9CAE599552F80/ http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/903257625023170877/469E826F1B3DBBB40430EB0A0BDE3891B89A97AC/ PS.

Yeah, of course, I am for implement this technology to A3, but main decisions will be on a programmers and project leader. This information I will know, after discusion with them.

NordKindchen 12 Posted August 26, 2013 Guys dont freak out on that screens^^ As I said - its only one texture set of 21 that are coming. And yes I will put in shadows for trees but only after the basic terrain is set. And@Googlava Thanks for your answer! Well....its been nearly 6 month now since I first introduced my system...I hope your programmers and projet leaders see that its not a good idea to release a game with such midrange textures. Its the main engagement range and it will stick to plps heads. Thanks for your effort! I will remember this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gammadust 12 Posted August 26, 2013 Thanks all for your understanding, this method for middle range textures is very good and we will trying implement for some of Arma3 update. Big thanks for your feddback and ideas While understanding that this is not a promise and not whishing to be too inquiring, i can't help it... you mean a native engine approach to combine middle range textures with the base sattelite texture on the fly or a "baking" of those higher resolution detail into the sattellite texture?

CaptainObvious 95 Posted August 26, 2013 Thanks much fellas, I knew it was something totally stupid I missed but it's all good now! :D Now, however, I almost regret for trying this as now I know what it could be! I know it's going to be difficult to play online from here on with the vanilla textures, I hope from the bottom of my heart the devs find the manpower and time to make this happen. Keep up the outstanding job NordKindchen, kudos to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
