+Stary Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 View File Gepard's Formosa Strait visual update This mod is full two-seasons (wet, dry) tileset and treemod created for Gepard's "Formosa Strait" terrain. You need Gepard's Formosa terrain available here: http://combatace.com/files/file/6723-formosa-strait-terrain-version-10 The tiles are 512x512 resolution to maintain good performance on older systems, but as they were downsampled from their 1024x1024 originals, maintain good quality. This mod includes it's own, smoother terrain height data, but original rough version is also provided as an option. Also includes new TFD file, which introduces "large empty fields" in western Taiwan. Both smaller and bigger trees included, the latter as default for rich lush ground cover. Includes optional tweak for experimental clear day fog. Submitter Stary Submitted 06/20/2010 Category Tilesets for Terrains Quote
dsawan Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Hi, the terrain does not show up in selection screen for sf2 merged.. is there a fix? thx. Quote
+Stary Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 Hi, the terrain does not show up in selection screen for sf2 merged.. is there a fix? thx. Strange, as I have it working in merged install..? Dsawan, you did installed Gepard's Formosa terrain before adding this mod, right? Quote
+Dave Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Working fine here in a merged install. Are you sure dsawan you are using the right exe to start the sim? The one you put the terrain in? Also did you put it in a folder called "terrains" with an "s" on the end? Quote
+Stary Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 dsawan make sure you extract this to main mod folder, as it comes with terrains folder for ease of install Quote
+christian59 Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Hello thank you i love fling over asia:drinks: for those want use in SF1 worl i use this data work fine on my install:ok: Christian Formosa_DATA.zip Quote
+Stary Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 thanks, I haven't tested release version in gen1 Quote
TurtleHawk Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Thanks, Stary. It is incredible. The trees look real! Quote
dsawan Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Hi , I checked my folder and it is in terrains with an s and under objects folder. Maybe I should move it to the main folder isntead of objects. Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Correct. It should NOT be under objects, right off the root... Quote
+hi ho silver Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 HI Stary love the terrain :) but found a bug cows as big barns and floating fences :( keep up the good work.. Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 How can I solve that you can see the trees trough the clouds?! Is it the alpha layer? Quote
+Stary Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 Series2? Blackbird, I don't see them through clouds... Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Ah sorry I forgot, I use it in SF2 merged, if you like I can take a picture, I can see them trough clouds, but not all, seems only specific trees and they seem to be "bi transparent" You can see them but also see the next tree trough the first, as example when you are sitting on the runway and looking around Quote
+Dave Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 How can I solve that you can see the trees trough the clouds?! Is it the alpha layer? You can't its a bug. TK knows about it though. eburger68 has the same problem with the Vietnam terrain. Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Thanks Stary and Dave, it`s a longer time I was into SF2, I reset it and was wondering about the all seeing Eye effect I thought it was something with the Alpha layer. Ok I can life with it.. So far Stary, excelent work!!!!! Quote
+Stary Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 Yes, an old bug TK seems not to care. There was fix by Fubar IIRC, posted somewhere. But using the settings I provided with the data, you really shouldn't see the trees through clouds? Forgot to ask -DX9 or 10? Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 DX 9, have to upgrade to Win 7 but had some issues with my HDD`s they seem to refuse microsoft products ... Quote
+Stary Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 I searched for the mentioned fix, but no luck so far. Try "mipmaplevel=6" added under [AlphaObjectTextureMaterial], but I really don't remember if it was it, ONLY for DX9 systems: [AlphaObjectTextureMaterial] EffectShaderName=terAlphaObject.fx DepthBufferCheck=TRUE DepthBufferWrite=FALSE RenderedInOrder=TRUE AlphaTestEnabled=TRUE CullMode=NO_CULL <-try setting to CullMode=CLOCKWISE LightEnabled=TRUE SpecularEnabled=FALSE EmissiveEnabled=FALSE FogEnabled=TRUE AmbientColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 DiffuseColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 ZBufferOffset=2.000000 BlendOp=BLEND_SRC_ALPHA NumTextureStages=1 TextureStage[01].TextureName= TextureStage[01].MipMap=TRUE TextureStage[01].FilterEnabled=FALSE TextureStage[01].StageColorOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE TextureStage[01].StageAlphaOp=TEXTURE_BLEND_TEXTURE_ALPHA Mipmaplevel=6 Quote
+Stary Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 HI Stary love the terrain :) but found a bug cows as big barns and floating fences :( keep up the good work.. will recheck Quote

+Piecemeal Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Just downloaded the terrain and flew a mission or two. Sweet as a nut. Well done bud Quote
MoonGoose Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 formosa strait is my favorite one.. high FPS, lot of mountains to hide behind, stunning sea, never boring single missions. thanks for the update! Quote
