yea, its a LOD Z(depth) swapping which goes back and forth with each pass making it look like its tearing hence the name. I've actually noticed it on the choppers horizon instrument gauge. Really annoying. It should stop with the forced Vsync or triple buffer but that doesn't work. I don't think anyone has fixed it yet.
-
No offense but I find that hard to believe. Can you check those videos in the first post and do something similar to confirm?
Remember the OFP LOD sliders? Does ArmA 2 have a file that we can manipulate LOD distance? I see nothing good in the Arma.cfg or profile.

As a team game, who really cares about the score.At first I didnt understand why my team mate had died because there were no enemies anywhere and I thought maybe the AI was shooting at an adversary. It was, in fact, him murdering his comrade.Eth
Yea I agree. Something unmanned should be neutral. When someone gets in it should be the players side. Actually put a crashed chopper and put some OPFOR inf and use the gun in the crashed chopper. Even though the chopper is obviously BLUFOR you get neg points. Maybe they fixed that in 1.03 I dunno, I'm not too hopeful.

Try with Aero off, see if it lasts.

I've tried the Nvidia panel Triple Buffer, Vsync On, and cranked the pre-frames but nothing works. Sniping with an M107 just looks nasty.
EDIT:

RPTs pertain more to Mission Editing than server troubleshooting/ troubleshooting in general tom.
PataPalo have you tried the 1.03 server yet? I'm going to try it out tonight. See if it gives better info.

You can make any marker move. Check out the first post you did. I deleted it because it might cause an error since the marker and MHQ might not exist in your mission.
basically put:
_mobilerespawn_pos = getPos MHQ; _posx = _mobilerespawn_pos select 0; _posz = _mobilerespawn_pos select 1; _posy = _mobilerespawn_pos select 2; "respawn_east" setMarkerPos [_posx+4,_posz,_posy]; // move the respawn marker
back near the bottom, before the sleep. Then in the editor make the "respawn_east" marker and whatever the MHQ is name it "MHQ".
For my mission it was "respawn_west" and the displayed text was "MHQ" in white. So people saw the MHQ text moving with everything else on the map, but it was actually the respawn_west. :D
You can really track anything you want. Even create an "empty" marker in the editor and then change it -setMarkerType- to another marker with a trigger if you want.
EDIT: Be sure you have the respawn settings in the description.ext to respawn!

UNNs code is sound however the dirty hack you want is something like:_global="HeliPad" createVehicle ([0,0,0]);
_global setInitCommand "hint ""seen on everymachine"";deleteVehicle this;";
processInitCommands;
sleep 2;
However I recommend getting UNNs code to work, while he says "I haven't done much Arma2 scripting...", I suspect he's being truthful and modest at the same time. He knows what he's doing. :D
AAhhh you got it before me!! :p The code I use is
[] spawn { _cone = createVehicle ["RoadCone",[0,0,0], [], 0, "FLY"]; _cone setVehicleInit "hint 'I want everyone in MP to see this'"; processInitCommands; deleteVehicle _cone; }; -
if you put "mygrp=group this" in more than one group then it won't work.
---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------
The one I'm working on that doesn't need grouping doesn't work once somebody dies so until I figure that out it's useless. Besides you have to name each unit which maybe I should call it notsimple_gps.sqf ;)
The only way I see it working with three groups you have is having three sqf's. simple_gps.sqf, simple_gps2.sqf, simple_gps3.sqf. Editing mygrp to mygrp2 for simple_gps2.sqf and mygrp to mygrp3 for simple_gps3.sqf. Then put execVM for all three scripts and mygrp = group this; in the first group mygrp2 = group this; sec. group, mygrp3 = group this; the last group.
EDIT:
Try this:
put mygrp = group this; in the first group mygrp2 = group this; sec. group, mygrp3 = group this; the last group. and use this simple_gps.sqf

Then your guys might not be grouped in the editor. Make sure they are in one group. Select Groups and link them up. It should work how you have it.
I have another simple_gps that they don't have to be grouped but I'm not finished with it yet.

I put a wrecked UH1 (which has one side gun that works) when you -BLUFOR player- get in and shoot an OPFOR enemy it gives you negative points.

That code looks oddly familiar... :p
Try this one

How can I change that since I can't group it to a 0 presence BLU?
-
ICE you're right. The new 190.38 drivers fixed it. Frapsing a new video now.
-
I have a GTX285 and I have a similar problem.Vid I don't think upgrading to another AGP card will be worth your cash/trouble. Just wait until you have enough for a new comp.

Updated to v3! HOPEFULLY the final version. Check first post and enjoy! ;)

None of those worked but I had another idea I HAD to try and it f'in works!

j/k :D
I'll have to get to it WAAAY later. I'm done for a while editing. This time I really mean it. I want to play more now that I know how messed up it is. All I gotta say is do as much as you can IN the editor. That tends to always work properly.
-
yea you're right. I have no idea why I changed that.

So far it's like this now:

<-needs to be shot!I've tried everything I can think of. I'm gonna try scripting it to poop out an ammocrate with the goods. It probably won't pass the addAction on a dedicated server. :eek: I rared a good copy of this mission yesterday so I'm not scared of totally raping this code to see if anything works. At the least I'll learn more of better scripting for ArmAII. I guess...:confused: Hey I just had an idea! What if I made a script that equips the MHQ like this:
while {!missionComplete} do { waitUntil{!(isNull mhq)}; removeAllItems mhq; mhq addMagazineCargo ["30Rnd_556x45_StanagSD",30]; mhq addMagazineCargo ["30Rnd_556x45_G36",30]; mhq addMagazineCargo ["15Rnd_9x19_M9",20]; mhq addWeaponCargo ["M8_compact",2]; mhq addWeaponCargo ["M8_sharpshooter",2]; mhq addMagazineCargo ["PipeBomb",10]; mhq addAction ["Viewdistance +", "setViewDist.sqf", [500], -1,false, true, ""]; mhq addAction ["Viewdistance -", "setViewDist.sqf", [-500], -1,false, true, ""]; sleep 30.0; }; if (true) exitWith {};And just fire it at the start! Not in the mhq's code! I'll try that...

Wow...This is just stupid:
while {!missionComplete} do { waitUntil{!(isNull mhq)}; removeAllItems mhq; removeAllWeapons mhq; {mhq removeMagazines "30Rnd_556x45_StanagSD"}forEach magazines mhq; {mhq removeMagazines "30Rnd_556x45_G36"}forEach magazines mhq; {mhq removeMagazines "15Rnd_9x19_M9"}forEach magazines mhq; {mhq removeMagazines "PipeBomb"}forEach magazines mhq; sleep 1.0; mhq addMagazineCargo ["30Rnd_556x45_StanagSD",30]; mhq addMagazineCargo ["30Rnd_556x45_G36",30]; mhq addMagazineCargo ["15Rnd_9x19_M9",20]; mhq addWeaponCargo ["M8_compact",2]; mhq addWeaponCargo ["M8_sharpshooter",2]; mhq addMagazineCargo ["PipeBomb",10]; sleep 3.0; }; if (true) exitWith {};It keeps loading the MHQ with ammo. Totally bypassing the remove statements.
OK I'm done with this 1997 game until Sunday. Can't stand straightforward code not working at all.
-
lol. I haven't stopped this or drinking yet. :D
Nobody noticed I put "_vcl = _this;" twice. That doesn't do anything but waste space but blah!..
I don't see where createVehicleLocal would do anything but make it not spawn on a dedicated server?Unless I'm wrong?
I tried that waitUntil... -Wiper- everywhere and still on the server it doesn't have ammo. I tried firing waitUntil{!(isNull _vcl)}; under a call compile format so _vcl is pooped out in text -and not- and still it doesn't have ammo. I'm still trying. This is like the last thing troubling for the mission. Everything works perfect when I preview it, like I said, even all these things I've just tried! lol! I actually beat the game in 1hr 22min yesterday on the dedicated server but throughout the game the MHQ had no equipment. Eh I dunno this is for sure beyond me. :P
EDIT: The thing that ultra-sucks is that it's not throwing any errors that I can see in the RPT.
tried
call compile format["%1=_vcl; PublicVariable '%1';waitUntil{!(isNull %1)};%1 execVM 'respawn_scripts\mhq_equip.sqf';",_vclname];feces

Has anyone with a GTX285 or other Nvidia Card gotten rid of tearing?
in ARMA 2 & OA - TROUBLESHOOTING
Posted · Edited by Rexxenexx
yea you guys are right I dunno why I keep calling it tearing. Lol, I even justified calling it tearing. :D
EDIT:Changed the title.
So everyone has this? Theirs no way to increase the LOD in relation to distance or change the imprecision (16-32bit)?
EDIT: I'm going to try RivaTuner to see if their are anything that would help.
EDIT2: No dice.Even with D3Doveride forcing triple buffer it doesn't change. It looks like an engine deal -16bit z-buffer.
