Higher Detail Ground Textures

[Plagi_Arism]

There's always room for improvement. :)

 

What ED does not want to made by modders.

Welcome to 2016, I am doubtful you will be able to poke around as much in the new maps compared to the older map.

 

Expect ED to keep pushing the new map tech forward as well ;)

 

Yeah, that's a pity (if it leaves modders out). But as I said before: There are more important things than textures.

You dont know what you are talking about. So dont speak for ED please.

It allows modders to be awarded for their work, and allows ED to have some control over quality and security of their product. Period.

The new maps are quite different, I dont know that retexturing options will be available right now... maybe years from now we will see. I dont think the new maps really will need much re-texturing...

 

I hope so SiTh. :smilewink:

Trust me... there is more to come on this front. Its only going to get better. The new maps are going to keep getting better.

[Aginor]

We'll see I guess.

The major concern for me is not the textures but the trees physics. Especially for the WWII scenario, when the dogfights are low to the ground. I hope that would be fixed so there will be no more situations when "pony" gets away hidden in the branches...

New map has tree collisions... the old one probably never will unless its redone.

Thats great to know. Now I`m even more impatient for the new map.

"No because here I'm just talking about drawing the textures differently, not increasing their resolution. And it's the resolution that is mostly responsible for the textures size and hit on frames per second." Gotcha. Instead of the low altitude sense of blotchiness, more defined and refined renderings of the details. Irrespective of resolution, does not added "detail" also require additional rendering power? As you may have picked up on, I AM NOT a graphics Geek. Just trying to understand.

Is the performance included as well?

The 2d footprint figure reminds me of fast multipole method :)

Are you talking for all the modders ? I have seen some (not mentioning the names here) that aren't really looking forward to selling their mods.

 

As a personal modder, I can say I don't like when people talk for me :(

Funny, I am sure ED feels the same way, but lots of people talking for ED ;)

 

Buttoning up the core game is important for many reasons... honestly, how many versions of the textures do we need? And as I said here or elsewhere... I am not that concerned because the majority of my time will be over Nevada, SoH or Normandy.

PS, I can now confirm that the base stock terrain that comes with DCS will still be able to be modded freely as always.

[Aginor]

Good news, thanks Sithspawn!

thanks, good news. everybody of us will be happy and fine with it. . . :-)

It would be really cool if ED came out with a DLC to repopulate the old Crimean map from the lock on days, I mean we can still fly there. I would definitely pay for that. Sorry to go off topic, just wanted to put it out there.

[Grimes]

Maybe. One must consider the years we have had to populate the current map with mission content. That simply doesn't go away when new maps are released. Couple that with the Caucuses being available for all while other maps (conceivably) will be behind a paywall and you've got a recipe for its dominance for potentially years to come.

Then the cars' manufacturers should allow color change only to approved ones. Otherwise painting auto to pink would decrease quality of the auto in the people's eyes.

You shouldn't also mod of your car because of safety.

Only allowed, only approved. Because the quality, because the control. Because of the awards for modders. Really, like they've never been praised before.

Do you paint your car yourself, or do you pay someone to do that?

[HiJack]

Current standard textures is fine. Look at the long way DCS have come in 10 years! Impressive! Thanks ED!

 

I would pay for extended Caucasus map if Crimea and west coast of black sea is populated!

It is possible to draw the textures in a way that gives the impression of more detail without hitting the fps. It requires some skill but it is doable. A few modders here have done it already (Mustang, Barthek, B3OP...).
