amd athlon xp 2600+@2100mhz
512 ram ddr 333
9600pro 256mb 128bits 400/400
Seagate SATA 80gb

it has never occured a texture bug on bf2 or prmm before. after 0.32, dragon valley's trees are like this when seeing them from a long distance

terrain: medium
texture: medium
lighting: low
texture filtering: medium

nothing has changed in PRMM from v0.31 to v0.32 that could affect this.

I think Izins comp was taking some acid.

That is the LOD files of that tree. For some reason, your getting it. YOU SHOULD be getting the original file, but it looks like your not.

I got this aswell but I had it on Fu She pass. So did another guy I was on comms with. I think its a problem with 1.4.

How did you get Izin from luizinhuu?

And what are LoDs? I could never figure that out... Line of ..... Distinction?

level of detail

what u mean fritz?
i play with 100% view distance and texture filtering on Medium, not to mention the problem never occured before

Dylan · Post by **Dylan** » 2006-09-16 18:16

I think this happens when they dont paint on under/overgrowth. It could be static trees, as I have read on the BFEditor forums about a guy having done that with his map. I wonder what they did to it.

Level of Detail = LoD

Thanks Fritz

all objects have a draw distance for each of their levels of detail.. the trees have always had that detail at distance...just looks like 1.4 reduced that distance a little or something..

the ideas is the LOD 0,1,2,each have progressively less faces as we move farther away...if the draw distance overall has been adjusted you should be able to notice it in other maps..not a big deal i think and in theory would speed up the rendering and reduce the load on the graphics card...

So this was an (maybe) intentional thing EA did? Some people are seeing it and others are not. It seems kind of confusing.

Griffon2-6 · Post by **Griffon2-6** » 2006-09-17 13:22

I think it depends on what video card you're using, and what rendering technology.

but it is just with these chinese trees, nothing else. this is pointless.. must be a bug
