Better Trees for Syria V2


Recommended Posts

BetterTreesSyria_v1.jpg

V2

  • Min textures added.
  • Darker terrain to blend better with darker trees.
  • Default Orange tree color and normal texture were not matched.  Which caused flickers.  Fixed.
  • Darkened shrubs.

V2 DOWNLOAD

INSTALL:  Extract into main DCS directory. OvGME or other Mod Manager recommended.

 

NOTES:

  • Not IC Safe
  • For low flying helos, recommend using Forest Detail Factor of 1.  And reduce Visib Range to compensate if necessary.
  • For high flying jets, reduce Forest Detail Factor and increase Visib Range.

I can't imagine how a texture swap can cause campaign to crash.  But try deleting one zip file at a time (or introduce 1 zip file at a time) to see which file is causing it.

Nice work. How much effort do you think it would take to revive the Jungle textures for Caucasus ? Would it be possible to copy the tree assets from Marianas ?

It is possible if you disable 3D trees and use billboard trees only.  Should look fine from distance but it may not look good at closeup.

If you want to see how bad it'll look close up, manually edit options.lua in Saved Games.  Set "forestDetailsFactor" to 0.  Then run the game.

This will force the trees to be billboards at all ranges.  And when they're billboards, you can pretty much put anything on it since it's just flat texture.

so i have run each of the files individually and I couldn't get the crash to reoccur, and then  i ran it again with all of the files in place and it worked seamlessly back past the point at which it failed... so no idea what's going on .

Could be just the shaders needed to be recompiled.

As usual: Lovely mod! Fantastic work. As a little point of constructive criticsm: THe trees do contrast quite a bit against the lighter forest texture, so there is some visible popping as they appear. Darkening the forest texture to match the shade of the trees would make it even better. Thanks anyway- great improvement:)

  • Taz1004 changed the title to Better Trees for Syria V2

Thx for new update. Pls think (in the near future 😉 ) about SA map trees. Perhaps they will need improvements too and pretty please - can you check Marianas map? Here is a big FPS problem (stutter), ED till now didnt improved it, maybe the problem are trees/palms too? Can you resize it and do FPS friendly if the problem is here?

What's SA map?  I'm planning to do Mariana next and then Persian Gulf.  I don't have any other maps and don't planning on buying any more so if I decide to do any other, maybe I'll just have to do it with 2 week trial.
