Trees in the forest

[Chernish]

Tone, prompt please how to increase the distance between the trunks of trees in the forest on the battl map?

That would have o be done by regenerating the vegetation with a different layout file for the climate.

As forest_layout.tga or palm_layout.tga? I thought that it depends on the numerical values somewhere in the text. And this is determined by the graphic things ... I would know ... Thanks, DvK!

Why do you want to do this?

BTW, if you select the lowres vegetation selection in the launcher it will use a set of forest vegetation where the trees are set further apart in order to lower processor requirements without reducing tree detail.

Why do you want to do this?

It`s need for my for my submod for EB. I hate dark forests in EB .

In RSII forests are very good for battle, very good!

I tried to escape from the unbearable heat (43-45 C) on the Volga with a laptop, I've no RS2 and only the EB, so I repaired it on the sly....

OK, quite easy to do this then....

1) go into descr_vegetation.txt

2) For the types of forest you want to change look for their entries - e.g.

vegetation rs_swamp_forest
{
layout 256 rs_forest_layout.tga
radius 1
height_range 0.6 1.2
aspect_range 0.7 1.3
lod trees
model highland_pine1
model fir01
model medi_rock_04
}

Increase the number in red by maybe 25-50%. Save the file.

3) Delete descr_vegetation.db

4) Set preferences to battlefields: 1024x768 16bit and antialiasing OFF

5) Restart EB

6) Change your video settings back to higher ones (if relevant)
