Guest Ti0n3r Posted October 10, 2006 Just tweak the config. You either remove the grass completely or make it visible 2KM's away from you. No big deal to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paragraphic l 2 Posted October 10, 2006 I guess that when you set your view distance at 1km you will see grass everywhere but not further than 1km Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you're right but I thought it was Linda who's responsible for the vegetation and there were no plans AFAIK to release Linda as a tool for modders.

Maddmatt 1 Posted October 10, 2006 Do you people not read interviews? It has been said that a similar system to Joint Operations should be implemented, so when you hide in the grass you will be made less visible for players looking at you from a distance even though the grass isn't rendered at that distance. I guess you will be made partly invisible depending how long the grass is and if you are prone/crouched/standing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correction 0 Posted October 10, 2006 but disappering grass will be a problem in MP. i assume grass will be disabled in MP, given that a 300ft diametre patch of grass moving across the terrain is pretty obvious to a human player observing. Grass rendering will be a clientside thing. It's not like your client is going to render circle-patches of grass around every player in the game. It only appears around the set radius of your character. It's good to hear that they plan to make other players less visible when hiding in the grass. I'm seriously started to suspect BIS of spying on me! Over the past few years I occasionally jot down notes of ideas for neat video game features that come to me, and it sure seems like they're stealing a lot of my ideas for ArmA!

SHWiiNG 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Note the 4 major points on the pic at the top right. 1/ His hand is gripping the weapon properly without any collisions of the weapon and hand map. 2/ The bump mapping on the sandbags. 3/ the Jeep is resting nicely on the Road surface again without collisions 4/ note the goggles and other accessories available for the helmet. customisable perhaps?

mattxr 9 Posted October 10, 2006 but disappering grass will be a problem in MP. i assume grass will be disabled in MP, given that a 300ft diametre patch of grass moving across the terrain is pretty obvious to a human player observing. dont you guys think lol Only the Player will have the Grass Around them... they wont be able to see Grass around the other players... Like BF2 only see the grass around you. So everyone playing gets the grass around them only on there screens to restrick there view a littlebit and to think they are conceled but it works both ways bacause the enemy will have that grass blocking there view also so its harder to see you maybe?

meyamoti 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Normal maps have always been on the sand bags,as for the soldier with goggles,I think those are moreso special forces type things. I'll post pics later when I'm at my home computer with my archive of piccychoors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sertorius 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Is it just me, or are they going a little overboard with the grass? The interview is here. but it's in Polish. It had three other screenies besides the one above: Beach Landing Guard Post Some Civvie Vehicles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commando84 0 Posted October 10, 2006 nice screens, looks like we will get a good variety of civilian cars too. I just hope we get some civilian air and sea vehicles too. But if not i guess they could be converted from ofp too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
