Tekateka type Coastline mod needed for FC2.0

Topic title says it all, the shimmering coastlines are back.

I've tried using the 1.12 Coastline mod but so far haven't had any luck.

Is anyone else willing to give this a shot?

Check the screenshot to see just how ugly it can be.

Hi Mustang,

I don´t have that problem, so there´s no way that I can know for sure that it´s working. But I just downloaded the mod for 1.12 and AFAIK you need to copy:

Bazar/Effects/EffectTexturesTGA.cdds to Bazar/Efects

Terrain/Surface/High/Coastline*.cdds (all 4 files) to Bazar/Terrain/Surface

Don´t copy EnglishCockpit.cdds

And now you just need to "tell" the FC20 that you want to load those CDDS before the ones that came with the sim, so open your Config/graphics.cfg with the notepad and look for this line:

TextureCollections

Just below highFolder = ".\\Bazar\\TempTextures\\";, you need to add these lines:

winter = ".\\Bazar\\Terrain\\Surface\\CoastlineWin.cdds";

autumn = ".\\Bazar\\Terrain\\Surface\\CoastlineAut.cdds";

common = ".\\Bazar\\Terrain\\Surface\\CoastlineSum.cdds";

spring = ".\\Bazar\\Terrain\\Surface\\CoastlineSpr.cdds";

winter = ".\\Bazar\\Terrain\\Surface\\CoastlineWin.cdds";

autumn = ".\\Bazar\\Terrain\\Surface\\CoastlineAut.cdds";

common = ".\\Bazar\\Terrain\\Surface\\CoastlineSum.cdds";

spring = ".\\Bazar\\Terrain\\Surface\\CoastlineSpr.cdds";

Don´t forget to backup any files that you replace!!!!!

Hope it make sense, English it´s not my native lenguage! :megalol:

Thank you ECV56_Finger, that did the trick, big rep to you mate! :thumbup:

Glad I can help! :thumbup:

All credit goes to TekaTeka for all the fantastic things that he made for FC1!

:thumbup:

Great!

Bumping this thread up, this is an important fix for one hell of an ugly bug :)

More pics to compare both Plz..

Thx

This mod fixes the coastline, lake and river edges flashing various shades of blue at certain times of day, angles and at high altitudes, you can see the bug occuring in the pictures in this link (thanks go to =RvE=Fusion) look at the first pic, on the far left you can see the edges of the river standing out, and in the second one you can see it in the cockpit mirror

you'll have to try it yourself and see.

Oh, and on a sidenote, this bug occurs in DCS Black Shark too, the methods used to fix FC2.0 work the same for that sim.

Nice work, this looks great. Thanks ECV56 Finger.

S!

Bumping thread again, some may have missed it :)

Can it be made into a Modman mod please ? Also when you open the script can the stock version of notepad be used ?

I'll ask one of my squadmates to package this into a MODMAN compliant file :)

And yes, you can use plain old Notepad or Wordpad to edit the graphics.cfg.

Thanks once more !

Paul

OK give this a try guys

thanks to 104th Route for MODMAN file package :)

Nice:thumbup:

This really does work

Thanks great stuff!

Thanks dude :thumbup:

Thanks

This pic for me shows it all, without this fix the coastline going into the distance would be glowing or flickering slightly, but for now it's perfect :thumbup:

I don't know why this hasn't been brought up yet, but with this mod, we are using the old textures from FC1. The coastline color doesn't match the rest of the terrain. Can this be re-packaged with the correct coastline textures? i would do it myself, but i don't understand the inner workings of the mod. Actually, I'm off to figure it out right now...

Maybe because no one has noticed it before? :music_whistling:

I'm repackaging it now with the new textures.
