Projects¶

Reduced model complexity¶

Currently both project are in a feedback state. Especially the very low version
is not really meant to be played - instead to measure FPS and observe LOD switching.

Report bad models

If you find a model with too low resolution LOD, like ugly looking on close distance
or missing parts of the object like walls, make a simple mission placing a soldier
unit in the editor look directly at the said object and attach the mission here:
Reduced model complexity - resolution LOD issues. Sample mission ticket.

User thoughts

Comment by Alex72

Much better performance with this! And the grass isn't popping back and forth anymore.
Oo its a smoother experience overall.

Frequently asked Questions

Q: Can you release the tool to tweak the models ourselves?
A: T_D has thankfully released the tools.

Q: Possible to drop all but the first resolution LOD?
A: The new version of ResLodRemover can do that. Try it from the link above.

Q: How to generate list for all textures or model files?
A: You can find the list as part of the CMB:

MipMapRemover
VegetationPatcher (successor of ResLodRemover, adapt as needed)

Generate a list of all p3d or textures: 1 dir /S /B *.paa > paaList.txt
Adapt the content to: 1 T:\ResLodRemover\ResLodRemover.exe "C:\1\plants2_bush\b_betulaHumilis.p3d" "C:\1\plants2_bush\b_betulaHumilis.p3d" 2 >> p3d.log

Object drawing distance tweak¶

Preface

ArmA supports up to 50.000m (50km) viewdistance.
Yet objects, means vegetation and objects of a world, as well as units or mission
placed objects are drawn in general way less (~45% and max ~2000-2500m...).

This also results in objects popping into view. Especially with low viewdistance.

Features

Objects no longer pop into view. Instead they appear seamless from the fog line.
Vehicles are drawn up to 3 km instead of 2.2 km.
Structures are drawn even in huge distances.
Little to none FPS impact.
