"PREDATOR" type images
« on: April 12, 2010, 05:39:36 PM »
Last nights blue arena map has some tree and vegetation image problems.
While driving a panzer to a97, some of the tree and brush patches had a look like the "predator" invisibility trick.(the "movie" predator had the ability to almost appear invisible) they completely stopped the tank as if hitting a wall. Other squadmates saw and had the same problem.

Tried to report this a few days ago but Photobucket wouldn't let me upload images (stupid internet).  Thanks for posting, reminded me to try again. :)    I assume you mean this:




That strange tan-ish thing floating there at the bottom left of the "tree" is the front end of a 251 stuck due to this "predator tree", it actually blocks "real-time world" and just shows the terrain behind it.

Hey Waffle, there is the same issue in several places on the Baltic map.  I will doublecheck when I get home but I spawned north to V52  Saturday night and there is a big patch of trees with the same issue.  I have the film at home, just couldn't review as I need the latest patch. I will get you the exact location tonight.

I emailed the film in on the tree issues.  :salute

While on the topic of small visual oddities, when a cruiser's gun is destroyed the barrels go all out of whack. However, the three shadows stay straight. Bit weird looking.

From what I was told by support, there was a terrain file which is common for those trees which the Alpha channel was an issue. They stated that it was identified and will be fixed in next patch. Guess until then, stay away from the "funhouse mirror' trees!   :cheers:
