reduce viewing distance and grass

[KillKillKill]

Hi all.

 

Sorry, noob admin.

I have tried to reduce viewing distance to 1000 and 50 for grass. Both do not work....

In the infistar/ahconfigsettings I have:

/*  Force Terrain Grid ?  */ _FTG =    50;    /* 50, 25, 12.5  */    /* if set to 50 grass will be very low for better client FPS.. default is 25 */

In the dayzconfig.arma2oaprofile I have this:

};
shadingQuality=0;
shadowQuality=0;
singleVoice=0;
maxSamplesPlayed=32;
activeKeys[]={};
sceneComplexity=100000;
viewDistance=1000;
terrainGrid=50;
volumeCD=6.5;
volumeFX=8.5;
volumeSpeech=6.5;
volumeVoN=6.5;
vonRecThreshold=0.029999999;

 

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

add these to your init.sqf inside your mission.pbo/files not your server config

viewDistance=1000;
terrainGrid=50;

like

// DayZ Epoch config

spawnShoremode = 1; // Default = 1 (on shore)

spawnArea= 1500; // Default = 1500

MaxHeliCrashes= 5; // Default = 5

MaxVehicleLimit = 1000; // Default = 50

MaxDynamicDebris = 25; // Default = 100

dayz_MapArea = 14000; // Default = 10000

dayz_maxLocalZombies = 10; // Default = 30

dayz_maxAnimals = 10;

DZE_BuildingLimit = 300;

dayz_zedsAttackVehicles = false;

viewDistance=1000;
terrainGrid=50;

 

or install this

Here u have another set view mod.  using scroll menu.

ddownload here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/e1aszrrdzs2dc5s/setview.zip

and drop it in custom\setview\ folder

add this in your init.sqf at very bottom:

//SET VIEW DISTANCE
[] execVM "custom\setview\setview_activate.sqf";

done!

 

[KillKillKill]

Ok, I will try the mod if it stops working. Right now it is set at 1000 and it works.

As of now, only the distance works. The grass is still high, even though I have it set correctly in the ini.sqf...:

viewDistance=1000;
terrainGrid=50;

[KillKillKill]

The setview kicks all players off once they scroll and chose it. It does not kick off the admins (infistar). Is there an exception?

[juandayz]

mmm nop thers no exception, i no use it whit infistar. sory maybe another member can tell u how to make it works whit infistar :)

[MG-Maximus]

That'll be a battleye restriction. Find the restriction (ie-script restriction #5 change view or whatever) and add it to the exceptions in scripts.txt (eg - Line 5/6 !=change view or whatever).

For the set terrain grid, infistar will block the change so you need to set _FTG to false or to 50 if you want infistar to handle the grass.

No grass gives our serves a 10 fps increase so it is worth it.

[KillKillKill]

Hi MG.

I changed the ftg from 50 to false. Will test in a minute to see if the ini.sqf setting is working. 

Will work on the restrictions shortly. 

Thanks

[KillKillKill]

Adding false to infistar's ftg setting did not help. 

Any other ideas?

[juandayz]

u can try whit DUKE´s custom menu. Thers a set view choises in this menu. 

 

[Anthrax]

Well they told you wrong.

So much for tech_support ;) 

setViewDistance 1000;

setTerrainGrid 50;

Is the proper way.

[KillKillKill]

Without the = ?

[KillKillKill]

Thanks. You are correct.

Where would I put "terrainGrid 6.25;" at?

// DayZ Epoch config
spawnShoremode = 0; // Default = 1 (on shore)
spawnArea= 1500; // Default = 1500

 

MaxVehicleLimit = 300; // Default = 50
MaxDynamicDebris = 500; // Default = 100
dayz_MapArea = 14000; // Default = 10000
dayz_maxLocalZombies = 15; // Default = 30

 

dayz_paraSpawn = false;

 

dayz_minpos = -1;
dayz_maxpos = 16000;

 

dayz_sellDistance_vehicle = 10;
dayz_sellDistance_boat = 30;
dayz_sellDistance_air = 40;

 

dayz_maxAnimals = 50; // Default: 8
dayz_tameDogs = true;
DynamicVehicleDamageLow = 0; // Default: 0
DynamicVehicleDamageHigh = 100; // Default: 100

 

DZE_BuildOnRoads = true; // Default: False
DZE_requireplot = 0;
DZE_MissionLootTable = true;

 

EpochEvents = [["any","any","any","any",30,"crash_spawner"],["any","any","any","any",0,"crash_spawner"],["any","any","any","any",15,"supply_drop"]];
dayz_fullMoonNights = true;

@mrpow

at the very very bottom of init.sqf

[mrpow]

I tried and it didn't work, Would I do,

terrainGrid 6.25;

or

terrainGrid= 6.25;

 

 

[mrpow]

The bottom of my init file looks like

 

#include "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\BIS_Effects\init.sqf"
[] execVM "admintools\Activate.sqf"; // Epoch admin tools
// Debug Monitor
[] execVM "custom\debug\debug_init.sqf";
[] execVM "custom\debug\custom_monitor.sqf";
terrainGrid 6.25;

 

and it doesn't work

you miss "set"  must be setTerrainGrid

at the end of init.sqf

#include "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\BIS_Effects\init.sqf"
[] execVM "admintools\Activate.sqf"; // Epoch admin tools
// Debug Monitor
[] execVM "custom\debug\debug_init.sqf";
[] execVM "custom\debug\custom_monitor.sqf";

setTerrainGrid 50;   //change 50 by your 6.25 // with 50 u remove complety

[mrpow]

Thank you!

Thank you!

another thing... u have this two lines in a wrong section

[] execVM "custom\debug\debug_init.sqf";
[] execVM "custom\debug\custom_monitor.sqf";

must be into if dedicated section...  to get off the rpt error

example:

if (!isDedicated) then {
    //Conduct map operations   
    // Debug Monitor
[] execVM "custom\debug\debug_init.sqf";
[] execVM "custom\debug\custom_monitor.sqf";

[mrpow]

by the way, the grass thing did not work?

[juandayz]

use setTerrain50;

[Shak]

So many answers for such a simple question lol.

 

In your init.sqf, just ABOVE the 'epoch events' section, add this.

 

Spoiler

setViewDistance 1000;
setTerrainGrid 50;
