LOVE the game.. HATE the grass

[-CS-SOBR-1st-I-R- 0]

I remember having read at some place that in 1.05 you can turn off grass in a menu if you wish.

I couldnt find that ... is there that option at all ?

If yes, where can it be found.

Thanks!

Terrain detail .

Turning the Terrain Details to very low will disable the grass

But AFAIK there's no way the mission designer can turn on/off the grass.

Setterraingrid command controls terrain detail, which controls grass. So mission editor can turn it on/off.

I also experienced this bug, I joined a server without grass, then when I played SP the grass was still off. I couldn't turn it back on with the terrain detail setting. Exiting and restarting the game got the grass back though.

Indeed that's a way I haven't considered.

Thanks for enlighten me Maddmatt

Does the grass/grass layer work in the editor? Because I can't seem to hide in it at all, they spot me every time and I can't see this grass layer thing either, some say it looks bad because soldiers feet are hidden but I don't get this at all. My terrain detail is on normal but I've had it on V high and the same??    Oh and yes I have installed the 1.05 patch!!

Most of the grass in South Sahrani is too short to hide in, look in the northern part of the island.

That's where I've been testing it. As far as I can tell there is no difference between 1.04 and 1.05 with regards to the usefulness of grass as cover. Also I never see soldiers in the distance with their feet obscured by this new 'grass layer'.

I'm wondering if there is a problem with this on my setup! What does this grass layer look like? Does someone have a screeny? … I can't hide in any grass they see me every time!

It works fine for me. Make sure you installed the patch properly.

In North Sahrani tell your squad to go prone and then move away from them. They should be partially hidden by the grass. Look at them through a scope to get a better view.

OK I've seen the effect now. It seems it works in some places but not others even in the same area! The enemy still see me too easily though! Maybe I'm just to fat!

so can someone tell me how to disable it server side?

hello

I still (1.05) find the grass too high the majority of the time.

Yes, i know long grass exists, but if im lying prone in real life, i just lift my torso a bit higer off the ground and line up the target.

In game if I am lying prone and an enemy is prone in long grass, I may just be able to make him out, but when sighting down my weapon, grass obscures everything.

Going to a kneeling position takes far too long.

I think that grass can add to the realism, but we need to get a balance between gameplay/realism as our interface with the realworld completely out reacts our interface with the game.

point is = Love game / Like Grass / Grass needs a fixin' / But thank god that we can now flatten it .
