Any idea guys?

Every help is very much appreciated!

well, I've never used the alphainstancing flag for an island.. why are you using it?

I thought it was only for models...

[.kju 3245]

Thanks for the hint Linker Split!

Hm not sure.

The source could also be a model ...

We try to convert an OFP island with custom objects to ArmA..

Can please tell me where to set/disable this setting/value?

Can please tell me where to set/disable this setting/value?

In the rvmat file.

[.kju 3245]

Can you please be a bit more specific. Thanks!

I couldn't find any more details in the BIKI and this forum, besides:

Quote[/b] ]well, fo shadow, (i.e. grass model) I simply added a flag

called Alphainstancing to the material RVMAT that should have

the shadow not to be casted on terrain...

Our rvmat for the islands:

in that RVMAT there's no problem...

cause as you can see, there aren't any renderFlags...

Thanks for looking into it Linker Split.

Unable to find the string "renderFlag" or "alphainstancing" in

our project files.

[Linker Split 0]

are you using some third objects addon?

[.kju 3245]

Hello again Linker Split

we have a few custom objects in a pbo called WGL_SH_O (objects).

So what should we look for?

[Linker Split 0]

you should look for these objects, their RVMATS, see the flags they use
