OFP Multiplayer - terrain details (cover)

Recommended Posts

ok when i set my terrain details to very high i get many possibilities to take cover on the ground, however in multiplayer we (LAN) always have only flat landscape, which screws the game.. how can u change it?

In the mission you want to play in MP, in the init.sqs of the mission add the following :

setTerrainGrid X

With X being a value corresponding to the terrain detail you want.

You can find the explanations here

Value - Terrain detail

50 - Very low

25 - Low (according to wiki it is the MP default ? )

12.5 - Normal

6.25 - High

3.125 - Very High

Just open the existing mission PBO, if there is an init.sqs , just add the line to it, if there is no init.sqs, create such file and add the line.

Or -untested in MP and for more than 1 minute, so use this at your own risks-

-Create your own mod folder, inside of it, create a subfolder you will name

bin

-With binview, open the original BIS config.bin (located in ..\Res\bin\ ) and select File-> Save, it will save in the same folder a config.cpp

-Take this config.cpp and put it in \yourmodfolder\bin\

-Open it with a text editor and look for :

class Man:Land

You should see

class Man:Land

{

a bunch of lines

Just after the { , add this :

	class EventHandlers
		{
		init="setterraingrid 6.25";
		};

So you have

class Man:Land

{

class EventHandlers

{

init="setterraingrid 6.25";

};

then a bunch of lines

Save the changes

Now use CPP2BIN and convert the newly modified config.cpp into a

Once done, delete the config.cpp to have only a config.bin in your \ownmodfolder\bin\

Start OFP with your shortcut modified to use -mod=yourmodfoldername in the target line.

Have all your friends playing LAN with you to have the same modfolder as you, and be sure they all start OFP with the same modified shortcut.

Ingame the terrain detail should always be set to "High" when starting a mission (i recommend to not use "very high" setterraingrid, it can sometime crash PC in more "intense" missions), High features lot of bumpy enough terrain anyways.
