WGL Vegetation Replacement - Beta !

Recommended Posts

<span style='color:darkblue'>IMPORTANT INFO</span>:

---------------

<span style='color:darkred'>THIS IS STILL BETA !

PLEASE DONT DISTRIBUTE IT OVER NEWS SITES OR OTHER FORUMS !</span>

<span style='color:darkblue'>Credits</span>:

--------

<span style='color:darkred'>BIS for their nice nogova vegetation.</span>

<span style='color:darkblue'>Information</span>:

-----------

The idea with this pack is again to enhance the atmosphere

of playing OFP with rather simple methods !

Yet still this is more of a public test version.

This is as we have still the issue of trees sometimes sticking

to some part in the ground and by our assumption rather bad

performance mainly on malden.

So we hope you can give us impressions how this one works for you !

<span style='color:darkblue'>Feature description</span>:

-----------

~ exchanges all CWC vegetation (trees, bushes and forests)

with nogova vegetation for Everon, Malden, Kolgujev as well

as any other custom island using CWC vegetation.

~ best used along with <span style='color:darkred'>-WGL Texture Replacement Pack-</span>

<span style='color:darkblue'>How to</span>:

-------

~ move the pbo into in some modfolder and within dta\hwtl

(like \opf\@wgl_vegetation_replacement\dta\hwtl\data3d.pbo )

<span style='color:darkblue'>Difference between SpaceAlex's CWC Islands with Resistance objects and this</span>:

----------------------------------------------------

+ vegetation replacement on <span style='color:red'>any custom island using CWC vegetation</span>

- currently more performance drain

(SpaceAlex's CWC Islands with Resistance objects)

- you cant combine this with SKY packs at the moment (only by merging both data3d.pbos in a certain way..)

<span style='color:darkblue'>Advice</span>:

-------

<span style='color:red'>DONT USE IT IN MULTIPLAYER - YOU WILL GET A MODIFIED FILE MESSAGE !</span>

best regards

despite having a few reservation as for performance / playability with Berghoffs nature packs, we would also offer those

in case someone would help us doing so !

it would be mainly to say: "replace this tree with that one etc".

pm me if you are interested.

best regards

@snipman:

its no extra islands.

it changes the look of the default CwC islands (Everon, Malden, Kolgujev).

the benefit of this version is that its run via modfolder and also replaces the trees on any addon island using the CwC vegetation.

as for the performance:

from the ground all three run good for me.

in the air or sometimes MP, Malden is just totally unplayable (mostly dependant on viewdistance).

it seems Malden has the highest density of the vegetation of all BIS islands. i guess thats the reason.

as for the trees being into the ground i think we cant change that, as this would require modifying the wrp files which is

totally against the intention of the pack.

so its like take it if you like it, else skip it.

well i havent actually gotten round to playing with this yet but ive just started downloading it.

How would i go abouts installing this with a sky pack you say "in a certain way" how? couldnt i just unpbo this addon and extract the textures from the sky pack into the unpboed addon of this and then re pbo it and play?? confused_o.gif

Looks great ill install today but will have to play tomorow

yes i think it should work,

yet you might better try it the other way round by extracting

the change files from this one into your skypack'ed files.

i will post the list of changed files later that day wink_o.gif

well ive just downloaded and installed and been able to play and its great, it also works fine with my sky pack no need to change anything it just worked.

Its a shame it doesnt look quite as good as FFUR's nordic islands but it however still looks good and does get rid of alot of the AI problems with the Nordic islands no more dodgy driving AI or being able to see further through forests and finally i can shoot through bushed again. Thats why im gonna stich with these vegetations instead of the Nordic.

Good work

I havent noticed any bugs as of yet all works great
