+Stary Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Hello! Here are shots from my trees planting work for Operation Tainted Cigar 2 terrain: Apart from adding trees I've also added new terrain tiles for more varied look: Apart from Cuba itself I've also retiled parts of Florida mainland, Bahamas, Haiti, Isla de la Juventud. I have also retiled using new textures areas around airbases and various target areas to avoid trees on runways, or large structures in very dense jungle: 50+ target area surroundings retiled: But don't be surprised when flying down low over the jungle you'll get torn to pieces by a hidden ZPU-4... Usual ETA of two Uploaded, pending approval Quote

+Soulfreak Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Oh, very nice, can´t wait to get it! Thank you Quote
Fubar512 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 hey, where the aligators? And the caimans & crocs? We can't forget those either.... Quote
+Stary Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 hey, where the aligators? Nitpicking! j/k bro, nice idea worth fixing Quote
+Stary Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 One thing I should mention -few days ago I had a version that liked to CTD when browsing through ground objects via F7 key (I was checking placement errors). Hopefully I got rid of it with newer .tfd file , but IF you do encounter such problem please notify here. I guess it was also related with very high detail mesh size, 17. Quote
WarlordATF Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Amazing work as always! I'm outta action til this coming weekend when i can replace my failing HD, but the screenshots look great! The Cuba map is my favorite because i live in Florida, can't wait to see your Improvements! THANK YOU!! Quote
Longestpants Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 This substantially improved my week. Thanks a bunch!! Quote
malibu43 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Hey CA_Stary, I downloaded the cuba tree mod, and saw a problem I've never seen before. All the trees are flickering in unison at a very high rate the entire time they are visible. I tired messing with all the settings suggested in the readme, but it didn't fix anything. Changing ground object settings has no effect either. I have the Green Hell and Forest and Farms mod, and haven't had this problem with either of those mods, so I'm thinking it's something specific to Cuba. Can you help me trouble shoot this? I'm dying to fly over som Cuban foliage! Thanks! Quote

I've tested stock and WideSky with no problems so far. 3. And what are your [GraphicsSettings] in flightengine.ini? Increased as in Knowlegde Base? 4. How much video ram do you have? Maybe somehow related with the high resolution trees textures. Try these resized: I downsized them by half. Unpack to Cuba folder. Quote
+Dave Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 To jest niesamowite! Spójrz na te wszystkie drzewa w dół. Mój pies, że chciałby bardzo! Quote
+Corktip_14 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Hey Stary, Sorry for the hijack, but is there any news on tje Korean terrain? Quote
+Stary Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) To jest niesamowite! Spójrz na te wszystkie drzewa w dół. Mój pies, że chciałby bardzo! I see you're making progress my student that's nice of you Dave. @Corktip_14 I don't know. Brain told me recently it's close to release, but he's very busy in RL these days. We must be patient. EDIT: I'll be offline (short vacations) for next 5-6 days from tomorrow, hope no major bugs will show up. Edited July 13, 2008 by CA_Stary Quote

Maybe somehow related with the high resolution trees textures. Try these resized: I downsized them by half. Unpack to Cuba folder. 1. My graphics card (integraeted) doesn't have vertical sync. 2. Should be just wide sky. 3. Graphics settings: [GraphicsSettings] ZBufferDepth=24 MaxVertexCount=8192 MaxIndexCount=16384 MaxTextureCount=8192 MaxModelType=1024 MaxMeshPerScene=1024 MaxModelPerScene=2048 MaxLightPerScene=512 AspectRatio=1.333333 MinPixelSize=1.0 4. 128 MB graphics memory. But like I said, it's integrated. The smaller tree textures didn't help. FWIW, I dropped my VietnamSEA (with green hell) folder into my OTC install, and it ran fine. So I think it must be something unique to the OTC tree mod...? Any other ideas? Quote
+Stary Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 malibu43 try these settings in flightengine.ini: [GraphicsSettings] ZBufferDepth=24 MaxVertexCount=16384 MaxIndexCount=32768 MaxTextureCount=16384 MaxModelType=2048 MaxMeshPerScene=2048 MaxModelPerScene=4096 MaxLightPerScene=1024 AspectRatio=1.333333 MinPixelSize=1.0 Quote

In Green Hell and Forest and Farms, this is in the data.ini: BlendOp=BLEND_SRC_ALPHA In Cuba, it's: BlendOp=BLEND_DST_ALPHA I changed Cuba to match Green Hell and F&F, and it works now!!! Don't know what I did, but it works... Good work CA_Stary and thanks for the help! Quote
Jug Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 just that i want thank you very much Ditto! Beautiful work! Quote

Seems your card don't like it. Good news! Quote
Silverbolt Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 weird... my ocean isn't sufficient blue :( and when i start in that flrorida AFb all planes start in middle of runaway so i get a great fireworks Quote
+Stary Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 Ocean looks ok to me, given the distance and haze. As for the runways -I haven't touched targets or .hdf files, so maybe it's problem with given plane? Quote
Stratos Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Thank's mate!! Can't wait to reach my home and try it Quote
