DCS building HD overhaul

[dimitriov]

Nope in the building_texture, i just have the ferma_a, but not the ferma_b !

[crazyeddie]

Hello,

i still have a problem with one texture that i can't find "farma_b" do you have any idea were i could find that file?

Thanks.

 

Farm B is created from the following texture files:

 

Tree_elka.tga

r_klen.tga

ferma1.bmp

vorota2.bmp

new_kryshna-4.bmp

r.-0.bmp

 

It's not 1 texture file like Farm A.

Mkay so I'm going to close the alpha tonight (I mean the poll), there will still be the link on the first page, v0.5 .

 

I'm beginning the distant lod now, it's shittier than what I remembered, but it'll be done quite quickly.

[dimitriov]

Ah yes a question please :

 

To the ones who tried the alpha : do you think this :

 

is too much ? Should I remove it, or let it just for fun ?

Leave it there....

 

In fact... It would be nice if you put in some more Easter Eggs for us to find.

[Abburo]

This is your personal touch, so if you like leave it there.

 

My only comment to alpha texture is regarding that black façade as you show in poster snapshot. I really don't saw black facades except burned buildings. :). Anyway is a matter of personal taste.

[dimitriov]

No but you're right ! This thread is too here to receive your comments ! So if it doesn't please to other people, I'll change it ! It's too the goal of the alpha !

[shagrat]

Only issue is, that it appears on "all" buildings of that type... yet, as it is not offensive, if you like it, leave it.

It's your mod and if anybody feels like removing it he can easily edit the texture... :D

[dimitriov]

I thkin that the stadium, which is rare, is going to be an easteregg treasure :p

[shagrat]

...I'll send you my local football clubs logo! :D

[dimitriov]

Mkay so 2 good news :

 

I made 2 buildings today (wow such a big amount of work ^^), but finally found a good method so the next ones will be easier et faster to do !

 

I may decrease the LOD apparition from 5 km to 3 km, which should save fps, because transition looks really better than what I thought.

[shagrat]

Great news! Take your time...

Thanks for that, i was looking for that ferma-B for a long Time...

It's because of your mod that I now like to stay low and creep up on enemies, instead of just getting altitude and shooting at stand off range :D

 

 

I do apologize for the potato quality of my stream >.< It's the only one I'm capable of as of now (till I get a fiber connection). Video quality doesn't do justice to the awesomeness of your mod :D

[Cibit]

I would leave it as a personal touch after all the trouble you have gone to make this great mod:thumbup:

 

Quick question. Is this JSME compatiple or should I manually install.

 

Thanks:)

[dimitriov]

My pleasure ;)

 

It's still strange for me to see my mod on others people's screens and videos :p

 

Because of the... Fiesta, I didn't do many things the two last days, in the actual version it seems it's already quite good for many people, I currently have made 8 distant LOD (+-12 buildings left).

 

EDIT : yes absolutely, JSGME compatible (I use it for trying the textures ;) )

Thank you Nicolas,

I installed your mod alongside Hi vis mod. Maybe loose 10 fps around towns. No big deal but will retest just with your mod and update post when time allows.

 

Looks great :)

[Cibit]

Thought I would share some screenies with your mod, hi vis mod, Mustangs shaders + sweet FX + a tweaked terrain mod

[RICARDO]

Hello,

I was wondering if there Is a way to allow the GUI to select as static structure some buildings from the game. For exemple some Warehouses that you have in cities are not in the menu "static" of Mission editor.

[shagrat]

No, but you can place them using the script engine. There is a nice example how to do it, using trigger zones in that Huey mission "Gelendhzyk and Novorrosisk Helicopter operations" (something like that).

[arkroyale048]

Saw one of your easter eggs on one of my missions today :)

[dimitriov]

Okay so currently the distant LOD is nearly finished, only are three buildings (the harder, like the big "twin tower"), because the different faces are very hard to find precisely.

 

The transition looks good, I so reduced the transition distance to 3 km, which should improve the fps for the low VRAM GPU.

 

Because of my studies, I actually can't work on it during the week, just Saturday and Sunday. So the v0.9 should be ready for 2 weeks. (0.9 because I may optimize it later, and add some other buildings like the control tower and few buildings that I didn't touch at. Perhaps the Stadium too if I find some good concrete and grass textures).

 

No screens because you won't see any difference with the current render...

 

Nicolas

 

ps : the "no you can't", just a joke, was thinking about caricaturing some democratic campaign in an ex-USSR country :p... And talking about caricatures, ehehe, some other easter eggs may come ...

Awesome News Nicolas, just take your time:thumbup:

[shagrat]

Yes, pretty decent work already. No hurry...

[Boss86005]

Great work. Glad your making new textures for the control tower.
