Fix how Hilltops disappear?
I'm sure this has been addressed before and may be hardcoded. The problem is how hilltops will disappear if you are at a distance, but appear when you get closer. This allows you to see enemies behind hills even if they can't see you. This also occurs to some vegetation, such as in WW2 maps (the wheat fields) I think, allowing you to shoot the helpless people prone inside of them, unaware you can see them perfectly because you're 200m away. Is this fixable? I assume this is some sort of draw distance of models, but I dunno.

Re: Fix how Hilltops disappear?
the solution is make maps with flatter hills.

Re: Fix how Hilltops disappear?
I'm assuming you are talking about terrain morphing and Overgrowth spawning in as you get closer, yes there are ways to fix it, though the terrain morphing can use up quite a bit in resources if you want to keep the same level of detailed terrain. One line of code can fix it, but it can eat up fps.VON-5 wrote:I'm sure this has been addressed before and may be hardcoded.

That's good to hear. Is that a player-side thing only, or can devs force that upon people?gx wrote:I'm assuming you are talking about terrain morphing and Overgrowth spawning in as you get closer, yes there are ways to fix it, though the terrain morphing can use up quite a bit in resources if you want to keep the same level of detailed terrain.

Re: Fix how Hilltops disappear?
It's up to mapper to use this setting, you can't allow it as player. But if mappers want to make huge maps, with a lot of things, they often have to sacrifice things like that. But afaik, all maps, that are not resource have, have it in 1.0
