Shadow NX 1 Posted September 14, 2007 Finally! If it works like it looks then i already love it, nice work Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_chris 10 Posted September 14, 2007 A bit more explanation would be good. Does it work only client side? Do mission makers need to add anything to their missions for this to be enabled? Will this once added to my addons folder, make grass lower on all missions I play even if the server doesn't have the addon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will this once added to my addons folder, make grass lower on all missions I play even if the server doesn't have the addon? It's just a client side addon, so no need for the server to have it or for the mission maker to add something to the mission. Just be careful on PvP-Server (CTI,CTF,DM, etc). People could see that as some kind of cheating. Great Addon, Hein! Very useful, especially on North-Sahrani. MfG Medicus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heatseeker 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Mail it to BIS and ask them to include it in 1.09.. im tired of playing with very low terrain detail. I dont have much of a problem in south Sahrani but to play in the north i have to turn the grass off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balschoiw 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Will it increase FPS, especially in the northern regions ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeinBloed 0 Posted September 14, 2007 This Addon will not increase the FPS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted September 14, 2007 moved as author requested ... anyway this addon 'shorten' grass so in theory it should increase FPS bit ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Messiah 2 Posted September 14, 2007 moved as author requested ...anyway this addon 'shorten' grass so in theory it should increase FPS bit ... not if he's just altered the texture so there's more alpha at the top of the grass - same amount of polys and same texture size very simple concept but very cool none-the-less - great addon, I'll be using this one for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MehMan 0 Posted September 14, 2007 This could one of those mods that will change me from playing on very low terrain to low! Will check out soon, thanks man! This is one of the things that I dislike about ArmA, you just can't see enough through the grass while the AI can see enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow NX 1 Posted September 14, 2007 Just tried some missions and this definatly is the best thing since sliced bread... well nearly ArmA plays pretty different now but could it be this addon doesnt allow me to switch grass detail, or better said nothing happens? Tried in the battlefields mission and nothing changed when i switched trough the grass detail settings... however i think the game really runs a bit smoother now.

Shadow NX 1 Posted September 15, 2007 Not everyone is a MP gamer believe it or not, besides that addon will be shown at mission start or at least there will be a modified file message so just dont play MP with someone who uses it. Or BIS just includes this great addon or at least picks up the idea but i guess that is a thing we just see in ArmA2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ITS NOT CHEAT! grrrr thnx will be using this, i play mainly MP but for me this is no cheat as i play coop mostly. BTW hated the grass the day 1, i would understand if a tall weed might block ur view entirely, but 'cmon a simple grass can't obstruct view like this. would be cool if BIS would implement this in 1.09 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balschoiw 0 Posted September 15, 2007 Quote[/b] ]pffff..I really don't see understand why people always say the same thing! ITS NOT CHEAT! grrrr Technically speaking it is a cheat in any competative gamemode as it gives you a benefit over players who don´t use it. Easy as that. While machinegunners with tall grass won´t see enough to make them efficient, with this mod you will be laying down and see enough. This is why competative servers use a standard set of settings and anyone not running his client with the settings will not be able to play or disconnected right at the start when modified data are detected. It has been like that since OFP, and it will always be that way for simple fairness reasons. We had this debate before (disabled grass in MP competative gaming) and you know what stance the Arma community has on that issue. Just because you don´t agree, doesn´t make it right. Still, I like the mod. Very good work ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
