T. Jacob Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Hi guys. I would like to share my own mod off terrain, it is easy, simply by using the map noise for texture. I used textures off Highwayman-Ed, and I edited a bit by adding areas of rocky ground. I also added a new texture for the grass detail, seen to fly low, with helicopters or using the CA. I know there are many choices for this, but you may like this alternative. It is a small contribution. I use the mod "Improved Villages mod" of, Highwayman-Ed (Thanks for that Highwayman) and I recommend it, but I took the boldness to add a little personal issue. I show you some examples: For autumn ▼ For the summer ▼ For Spring ▼ For the winter ▼ For the grass in detail ▼ I have increased the visibility range of grass detail by editing the file: Medium.lua in: DCS World \ Config \ terrain. Precisely in the following lines: Line 48: Height = 400.0; Line 132: smallNoiseStartDistance = 200.0; If you use High in visual range options should change those lines in the file High.lua If using Low, do the same. If you use another mod that uses that file should open it and add the change, but do not forget to delete the file medium.lua off this mod. (only if you already use another mod that changes the visual range in these files) The Mod is installed with JSGME, or you can add the following folder structure. I recommend using JSGME. You can combine this with another mod if you already use another mod that uses the same folder structure. Download here: (Only Terrain Texture) https://www.mediafire.com/?u226cnqgs9gsr5z ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Version! (Only Grass Texture): What's new? ◘ New more realistic scale. Now the grass is smaller, the texture has increased by 200% ( Only 8k Version ) ◘ Enhanced clarity. The grass, gravel and earth are now more sharp. Has been increased by 80% the clarity of the texture. ◘ Eliminated visual vibration. The visual noise or vibration to be in motion has been removed. Has been added to the texture MIP maps. (Content in texture) ◘ Increased visibility. It has increased the visibility of the texture. FPS depend on the graphics settings, and Video card. ◘ Improved seam. Now seam edge has been corrected for better coupling. ◘ Down to 60% saturation. Now the texture is better suited to the seasons. ◘ Two versions of size. A version in 4k and another 8k. In case of loss of fps, try 4k version. The memory usage is 4 times smaller. If fps loss persists, do not increase your visual range in the lua file. Download here [ 4k ] ► http://www.mediafire.com/download/2h2fk1a00wxm61i/Enhanced_Grass_4k.rar Download here [ 8k ] ► http://www.mediafire.com/download/dz95dlggnz9rt6t/Enhanced_Grass_8k.rar Install with JSGME or add folders and files in their proper place.

Aginor Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Holy Raptor Jesus Batman! That's the first texture mod I really like. Others were nice, but not great. It fits into the game, and it doesn't look like someone spread a photo wallpaper all over the place. +Rep incoming. Great work, will try this tonight. :) DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, Skull. I'm having problems seeing your attached image Skull. The location of the option is found by starting DCS World, going to your options page and looking for the "Visible Range" option, part way down the other list of options. Take a note of what you have selected (Low, Medium, High or whatever). Then go find the corresponding Low.Lua, Medium.Lua or High.Lua file in your DCS World terrain folder. Should be here: DCS World \ Config \ terrain. Change the appropriate file by altering the numbers shown in t.Jacob's first post. Hope this helps.

Does it lower, raise or maintains the same? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
