ThePsy Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Hello@all, I posted this problem in Thirdwire forum as well but as there is many terrain modding guru around, I post it here to. I have a stange problem with TE. I made a new tree object, the file contains 9 objects. i can place them to the tiles in TE (ex: 40 new trees and 15 new forest parts, total objects 55), I save, everything is ok. When I go to the game to see the results, many objects are missing (around 50%). Is it a TE bug or I do miss something? Quote

In the games graphics settings, do you have "Ground Objects" set to "Unlimited"? Quote
ThePsy Posted October 24, 2009 Author Posted October 24, 2009 Please do not post in the Knowledge Base. Sorry for that In the games graphics settings, do you have "Ground Objects" set to "Unlimited"? No, I have everything on high settings... Quote
+Wrench Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Ground Object Unlimited is ONLY for Ground Objects (vehicles, ships, and expecically the game-generated parked aircraft). It has absolutely NO control over terrain objects, in particular those controled via TODs. THAT is controled in the terrains data ini; one needs to look at the entry for the particular tile these trees are linked to: [Texture052] Filename=vietnamGJ50B.BMP HasWater=0 Color=0.257751,0.320937,0.226057 SolidObjectTexture=terobject_buildings1.BMP <-- AlphaObjectTexture=jungle.TGA <-- Also, at the top of data ini, you may need to UP the SolidObject and AlphaObjectIndexCount, depending on you video settings: [TerrainMesh] TextureThreshold=0.80 LowDetailMeshThreshold=0.50 MedDetailMeshThreshold=0.30 TileToHeightGridRatio=4 RenderMeshVertexCount=4096 RenderMeshIndexCount=6144 SolidObjectVertexCount=12288 SolidObjectIndexCount=18432 AlphaObjectVertexCount=8192 AlphaObjectIndexCount=12288 <-- the higher the number, the more tress will show. Be aware of frame rate issues that may occur. wrench kevin stein Quote

Also, at the top of data ini, you may need to UP the SolidObject and AlphaObjectIndexCount, depending on you video settings: [TerrainMesh] TextureThreshold=0.80 LowDetailMeshThreshold=0.50 MedDetailMeshThreshold=0.30 TileToHeightGridRatio=4 RenderMeshVertexCount=4096 RenderMeshIndexCount=6144 SolidObjectVertexCount=12288 SolidObjectIndexCount=18432 AlphaObjectVertexCount=8192 AlphaObjectIndexCount=12288 <-- and there is my data.ini entry [TerrainMesh] TextureThreshold=0.90 LowDetailMeshThreshold=0.80 MedDetailMeshThreshold=0.70 TileToHeightGridRatio=4 RenderMeshVertexCount=4096 RenderMeshIndexCount=6144 SolidObjectVertexCount=12288 SolidObjectIndexCount=18432 AlphaObjectVertexCount=16384 AlphaObjectIndexCount=16384 What I realised is that the missing trees can be randomly assigned for a same tile, not always the same trees are missing. For exemple if I fly over two tiles who are the same, trees are not missing at the same places, but a part is missing on both. weird... Quote
