In-Game Renderer Issues and Clipping

[sp0nge]

Hi, im Sp0nge lol ;)

 

Issue #1 - In-Game Renderer Problems

 

It makes my game freeze when I click on "Render to AVI" :(

 

i read over some of the other topics after I had a search and they didnt seem to help..

 

Has anyone had a similar problem and found a resolution?

 

Most of the issues seem to be codec issues, but when I go to remove ANY it tells me that it's needed by windows and uninstalling it could be like potentially harmful. So I will give a list of codecs i have installed..

 

Cineform HD VFW Codec

FRAPS Video Decompressor

iccvid.dll

Indeo video 5.10

ir32_32.dll

ir41_32.ax

iyuv_32.dll

Ivcodec2.dll

Microsoft MPEG-4 Video Codec

msh261

msh262

msrle32.dll

msvidc32.dll

msyuv.dll

tsbyuv.dll

vp6vfw.dll

XviD MPEG-4 Video Codec

 

In that order.

 

Okay so onto my next issue.

 

Issue #2 - Screen/Vehicle/Aircraft Clipping

 

Whenever I get too close in any external view it clips the plane. This is what I mean.

 

 

I've tried re-installing lock on but that didn't work.

 

So I hope someone can help

REASON:

 

if you install one new video codec ( other applications or codec-pack ) this codec will be saved in windows. But Lockon dont read them all ( only the most popular ones ) and if you try to click "Render to AVI" it freezes right here because of unknown codecload..

 

Go system options.....locate Codec Type, Name and Path and just delete this one xxxx.DLL file.....

 

Thats it.

 

i just compared my to yours..probably

 

Ivcodec2.dll or vp6vfw.dll or (what i dont think) msh262 ... mostly i guess one the the first tow ones

 

Just go c:/windows/systems32 (if XP) and backup and delete them ( deleting is deinstalling ) and try again

 

 

Issue 2:

 

make sure your LOD value in Visib Range settings (modman or manualy game or in lockon/config/graphics.cfg is not 0.7 (what it is on visib "low" ..make it 1.0 at least...and this disapears)

[sp0nge]

Issue 2 was not fixed using that method unfortunately.

 

I see that you can modify the LOD clipping thing in LOcfg. I upped it to 2.0 and it didn't work either

A similar fenomenon I have seen too when I was trying the "low" settings for visibility.

 

What it does is making the "near clipping" setting very bad and the nose of the Su-25T gets clipped from "in cockpit" view.

 

Check this setting in LockOn Cfg

 

 

later edit..

 

warm warm warmer :)

[sp0nge]

success! :)

 

Cheers Zaelu.

 

Now I will resolve issue one hopefully by using the method in the second post.. for now I will be back soon!!

 

Adios.

[zaelu]

For issue 1 why don't you reinstall xvid codec?

I know that Lock On tries to use this one.

hm... I use NearClip as 0.2

[zaelu]

I use 0.1 but the interface of LoCFG shows 1 until you move the slider a bit to the right... then you can move it back to max left and shows 0.1... just a glich :)
