Post by: Hap on March 13, 2014, 02:55:39 AM
Colors of terrain and ocean are not right on the map we're playing on in late war.

I agree they should be slightly more pink to make the girls wink :old:

I think there has been a problem since it was updated.
The textures are drunk on the high detail and flat out bonkers on the bare bones basic terrain. I swear some of the mountains were ocean blue  :banana:

It should be treated like a crippled Horse and just be put down. Im convinced this crummy map is limiting player numbers.

Is it just me or is this grass blue?  :O  I see this color grass at almost every base on the current map in LW.  :headscratch: This picture is from A4.

which map?

Do you have "Detailed Water" disabled in the Options->Graphic Detail->Advanced panel?  The coastlines will not be rendered as you would expect with that option disabled.

All grass tiles everywhere on Mindanao will look like an LSD trip if you have "Detailed Terrain" off. Seen quite a few complains about it in the past 2 days...

Attached picture was taken on a mountain base far inland (A10), "Detailed Terrain" off

On my system, it's "Detailed Terrain" on or off which makes the difference, not "bump terrain"

"Detailed Water" gave you the right color water.  I leave it off normally and use bump terrain to give me better depth perception over water.  Not that I have ever splashed a plane in the deep blue. :joystick:

The mountain areas were really neat looking.

Didnt know that. The map itself is well made, I like the base positions. Its just the colors. I'll try this when I get back on. :salute

1. Why the change?
2. Was it because of the updated strats and something was forgotten?
3. Why this map? Why now? Everyone had to adjust to Detail Terrian on and some turn on detailed water because everything looked odd and dark.

 The map as small as it is and the congestion of so many people at limited areas and throw the problems of the graphics. The frame rate dipped a lot.

I was trying to adjust everything to make it playable. My frame rate was always at 60 and when I finished adjusting with the terrain bumped on it was steady at 35-40 but dipped to 10ish when there was a group of us together.

Id finally had it two days ago and logged off. Yesterday I just turned it off and place all my settings as they were before. Everything ran smooth but dark.so I bumped the gamma up. Yesterday, my squad and including myself , our net status was like a earthquake graph.

Finally, I guess my main question was why do did we had to adjust to this map and not the others?

Nothing changed, that we are aware of.  Still looking into it.

The "Detailed Water" option has always impacted the coastlines.

I do have detailed water checked. The base that i took the picture at was not on the coast. If you go in to the hills you will still see the grass as blue. :headscratch: :headscratch:

There was a problem with the terrain.  Uploaded a new version of it, just now, which should address this problem.

It's fixed now, no purple/blue grass with Detailed Terrain Off.  Thank you Skuzzy.

I am surprised that no one seemed to notice that the vast majority of trees on Mindanao were gone in the problem version.  It looked terrible with large expanses of flat featureless terrain.  It's back to normal now.

When the map came up all kinds of folks were commenting on text.  Theres also a shore bat at 43 that points into a mountain :^)
