Grass layer not the best solution?

[On_Sabbatical 11]

Very good images,but as stated above it needs a powerful comp,and i don't think there is something on the market that can handle that easily.

I very much doubt that.

The only thing the game has to render is a few hundred little green blobs.

Compare this to a machine running a Chernarussian forest. The game then has to render a comparable number of highly detailed tree models.

I think the developers could optimize the engine quite easily to render vegetation like in that shot. Of course, if you loaded Chernarus with those settings, your GPU would probably liquify.

clutterGrid = 1.11;

clutterDist = 850;

noDetailDist = 900;

fullDetailDist = 700;

I'm not seeing this in my -Documents/Arm2/Name Profile nor ArmaOA config :confused:

You won't find those values there, because they're in the map config. :)

Can computers really not render grass over the whole map yet? (sorry im new)

And won't be able for a long long time.

More grass = more polys + more transparency and it hurts

VBS2 has a much better solution. Its maps have a lot of detail like bushes and rocks which doesn't hurt FPS compared to grass on the same scale at all - and telling a helmet of a lying dude from one of the hundred rocks visible is really hard.

and how can we open this config ?? Im eager to try the tests on Cherno

bump :bounce3:

The config values are inside the PBO. In order to change them, you need to unpack the Chernarus PBO, unRap the config.bin, look for the values and change them, then repack the PBO again.

Just make sure to backup the original PBO and not to play online with the modified one, because it will be considered "hacked".

im actually LOT more concerned about AI ignoring grass, seeing THRU it, than approach to visual appearance or minor tweaking.

Looks like grass layer is fair enough solution after all, considering that it covers more soldier in the distance than the grass itself up close.
