Setting highest possible LODs in RTW

[intel]

As the title goes: how am I supposed to change the lod for
a) units (so the sprites won't appear at all)
b) trees (as above)
c) grass radious (so the grass will be visible from greater, if not infinite (), distance)


I was able to change it myself in M2TW, however I'm not that familiar with R:TW data files. The one of the files regulating trees lod is for certain descr_vegatation...

Still, I need someone to help me to find out how to set it to maximum.

Set unit detail to the highest possible level - it turns of sprites.
Set vegetation detail to the highest possible level - same as above.

As for grass, it needs just a bit more: open preferences.txt which can be found in your Rome:Total War\preferences folder. Look for GRASS_DISTANCE. The highest level that can be set in-game is 75 if I'm correct, but here you can change it to any higher number you wish. I for one use something around 220, to be honest it's quite enough and realistic. Of course you can always set it to a very high number if you want to take some epic screenshot or something, but if you don't have some kind of a monster computer you'll have to deal with a considerable drop in fps.

a) Set unit details for highest.
c) RS 1.5/preferences/preferences.txt Change number at "GRASS_DISTANCE" 0=off higher number=greater distance.

I don't have that folder

Unless you've never launched the game you will have such a folder.

First of all make sure that you have set your folder options to 'show hidden files and folders'.

If you are using Vista have a look in your 'virtual store': http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=167821

I think it's explained in either the first or last link in first post of that thread.

If sprites is that thing, where when you get further away from the units they look weird and 2D. Mine is always on.

I got my unit detail to the highest point but it still does it ;O.
