DoctorWho Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Hi! I have a strange problem. There are no trees, civilian buildings etc on all terrains I have. I use full 4 merged SF2 with latest patch. Could you help me? wishmaster1110 Chris Quote
+Wrench Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 could you be a little less specific??? is it safe to assume the TOD biuldings are not showing up? (meaning: the little 1,2 and 3 story buildings in cities) along with the trees. which terrains? a single terrain, or ALL add-on terrains? are the stock terrains showing their terrain objects? which cat are they pointing to? (example below) [Terrain] TerrainFullName=Central America DataFile=Panama_data.INI TargetFile=Panama_targets.INI TargetTypeFile=Panama_types.INI MovementFile=Panama_movement.INI NationsFile=Panama_nations.INI BriefingText=Panama_briefing.INI DogfightFile=Panama_dogfight.INI DogfightOnly=FALSE WaterMap=Panama_Water.bmp CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat //CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat //CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat <--- cat pointer lines Longitude=79 Latitude=9 LimitedNations=TRUE GroundObjectTexture=green Terrain cat tutorial: http://combatace.com/topic/50389-selecting-the-proper-terrain-cat/ more information is requred if we're to diagnose this issue Quote
DoctorWho Posted July 24, 2011 Author Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) Ok, to be more specific: There are no TOD city buildings and trees in all add-on terrains as well as stock terrains. They just don't show up. I didn't mess anything in .cat files and all the cat pointers are set properly. Any ideas? Edited July 24, 2011 by wishmaster1110 Quote
+Wrench Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) If the STOCK terrain's aren't show the TOD items, there's something seriously wrong with the game install. Or you're terrain settings are way too low; but I've never heard of them turning "off" TODs (from the main menu, Options -> Graphics --> various stuff On any of the stock terrains, fly over a city, and take a screenie and post it. Safe to assume the runways, wareouses, hangars, etc are showing up? edit: just tested with LOW on everything, and all the TODs show up, stock desert, germany, isreal and VN.

DoctorWho Posted July 24, 2011 Author Posted July 24, 2011 You'll get the screenie in a minute. All the hangars, runways etc. show up Quote
DoctorWho Posted July 24, 2011 Author Posted July 24, 2011 ]After setting EVERYTHING to "medium" TODs started to show up (i only checked the Taiwan terrain) but they're visible only from short distance and on a small piece of ground. Quote
+Wrench Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Search the Forums for "fade distance". Caused by the June 11 patch; even at 7/11 level, you'll have to turn it off in one of the inis (either options or something else I can't rmemeber right now EDIT: option.ini scroll down to this section and do as shown: [GraphicsOptions] DisplayDeviceID=0 DisplayWidth=1024 DisplayHeight=768 DisplayDepth=32 AspectRatio=1.333333 AntiAliasing=4 UseAdvancedShaders=1 ForceDX9=FALSE ForceVSyncOff=FALSE LensFlare=1 DetailLevel=4 ObjectDetail=2 ObjectTexture=3 CockpitTexture=3 CockpitMirrors=1 CockpitReflection=1 EffectsDetail=3 TerrainDetail=2 TerrainTexture=3 HorizonDistance=1 GroundObjectDensity=3 WaterDetail=2 CloudsDetail=2 Shadow=2 ObjectsFade=FALSE <-- this is mine. default is TRUE. set to FALSE Quote
DoctorWho Posted July 24, 2011 Author Posted July 24, 2011 Thanks. I'll give it a try next week. I'm going on holiday tomorrow. Quote
