VF FPS Saver (VFFPSS)

[Armin2 10]

Is this thing still worked on ?

[VictorFarbau 0]

Yes it is. But I haven't touched Arma 2 for a couple of weeks due to vacation and lots of RL work to do. I will work on this again some time soon.

Curious, once you turn this on while ingame, can you deactivate it ingame as well? Also, since its changing settings, are those reset when you log off and back onto a server?

Victor *COUGH* VFAI_Equipment and VFAI_Smokeshell being worked on too I hope :)

Would LOVE to see them ingame - really opened up A1!

You bet :) Code revision almost done. Release within 2 weeks from now I guess. Darn lack of time for anything right now :mad:

Victor, you are a STAR !

What could I change in the config.cpp to make the ground less blurry and the water textures default?

Sorry I'm an idiot, this was the wrong FPS helper thread.

i cant get this mod to work. i try severla versions of arma. 1.2, 1.3 and 1.3 beta

i put the files in the addOns folder like this.

c:\arma2\addons\@mod\addons\files.pbo

im using a launcher to load the mods.

but this one and several others like fps counter and slx doesnt seem to work

and others like the hdr and sun mods are working just fine.

is there something else i should do to get to work properly?

thnks

The modfolders shouldn't be inside the ArmA2\Addons folder.

try to add them to:

c:\arma2\@mod\addons\files.pbo

Updated to build 046. Please see first post for changes and download. I still need to use this. Maybe it'll get better with Win 7 :)

Thanks, I ve been checking for this best/most important addon ever almost weekly...

Hope you add more and more features to the panel within the next versions.

With VFFPS ArmA II has become a lot more enjoyable.

I like the idea of this addon very much. As it seems to auto-adjust settings which can also be set manually by every player it would be great for MP! Therefore it would be nice to have a signed version of this addon or do i miss a point why this isn´t already available?

[armatech 8]

hi you might wanna change your config to this to get the option in the default game menu

// VFFPSS Addon Control Panel
// Arma II, Rev 1.0
class CfgPatches
{
class VFFPSS_ControlPanel
{
 units[] = {};
 requiredVersion = 0.1;
 requiredAddons[] = {};
};
};
class RscStandardDisplay;
class RscText;
class RscPicture;
class CA_Title;
class RscShortcutButtonMain;
class RscXKeyShadow;
class RscShortcutButton;
class RscDisplayInterrupt: RscStandardDisplay
{
class controls
{
 class VFFPSS_optionsBtn: RscShortcutButton
 {
  idc = -1;
  x = "0.005 + SafeZoneX";
  y = "0.105 + SafeZoneY";
  w = 0.3;
  onButtonClick = "[this] execVM ""\VFFPSS\VFFPSSdlg.sqf""";
  text = "FPS Control Panel";
  default = 0;
 };
};
};
class RscDisplayMPInterrupt: RscStandardDisplay
{
class controls
{
 class VFFPSS_optionsBtn: RscShortcutButton
 {
  idc = -1;
  x = "0.005 + SafeZoneX";
  y = "0.105 + SafeZoneY";
  w = 0.3;
  onButtonClick = "[this] execVM ""\VFFPSS\VFFPSSdlg.sqf""";
  text = "FPS Control Panel";
  default = 0;
 };
};
};
#include "ddef.hpp"

Hi Armatech, yes Robalo_AS also suggested that earlier. I just never came around to implement it. Now, your config works right off the bat. I am not a friend of copy and paste jobs but here I am :)

Hope you don't mind - I just took the config, adapted it slightly (text and width) and also revised the core code for the control panel to show up quicker.

All in all a good improvement I shall say. Hence:

Updated to Rev 48, as usual all to be found in the first link.

Thanks,

VictorFarbau

Still no plans for getting it signed and providing a server-key?

[VictorFarbau 0]

Signing it, sure, I'll do that later today and upload it again.

Thank you very much Victor!

Nice tool,helpful to my poor gear.Thanks,VictorFarBau!

One issue:

Whenever the viewdistance is changed the post processing effect is deactivated. One has to make a roll on the ground to activate it again.

[Nikoteen 24]

This addon is awesome, it really helps.

However, It bother me a little to reactivate the script every mission start and I would like the script to start automatically with the game. I tried the bin.pbo hack mentionned earlier with no success.

It must be simple to achieve that but I'm really noob at editing config files.

Thanks really for any upcoming help.

[Nikoteen 24]

That's OK, I figured out myself ;)

[Gladius 10]

How can I permanently change the default settings of Minimum viewdistance and min/max fps rate?

With every game start I have to change the default setting to my personal setting.

I second this, a config with a default value setting would be real nice to finish things off :) Can get a tiny bit tiresome to have to keep re entering values, especially when you find your sweet spot for nearly every time you use it.

EDIT .. the config could also have a true/false line for auto start on mission start too :)

Reasonable suggestions indeed, will put them on the list for the next update.

Cheers,
