Did you try increasing the GeometryTemplate.lodDistance command for the PatchGeometry template in the map's Terrain.con file? If the map's view distance is set high but the lodDistance value for the terrain is too low, you might get that issue.

Why would one need this for flashlights? If its an effect bundle you have tied to the flashlight "handweapon". It doesn't have to fire anything at all. Just code the effect template so that it always activates on creation. Thus it won't need the fire key for it work. Merely selecting the f...

Yeah, if you alter object resources with the editor still active on a map, you have to reload the map for any changes to show up. Same goes for stuff like terrain textures. If you changed terrain textures externally while the editor had the map open, you'd have to reload the map to see the changes.

December was only about 6 months ago and the forum has been slow in activity between that and in March when it went offline. So I don't think much was lost as a result of the domain/filehost expiration. (so really only a time scale of 3 to 4 months was lost and all the useful information was posted ...

You can create dummy objects with the same name as the spawners and have those use the geometries the kits use (just be sure to remove/rename the spawner templates on the map so Ed42 uses the dummies instead. Change them back once done). They should then show in the editor correctly. Just be sure to...

Thanks. :D Dalian Plant is almost done.

I already got bots working on the map. I took the old pathmaps from the old version of th...

I was contacted the other day by Marshall Nord that he allowed the domain to expire since the filehosting and such was no longer affordable to him. But he does have a late December 2013 back up I believe and has said he's willing to pass those on to me. I've yet to hear from him again, but just lett...

The FrostBIte engine is an unholy clusterf***k that not only became a buggy monster with the introduction of BF4, the engine is so convoluted you practically have to recompile the whole damn game just to make a new map. Even if the engine had mod tools, I wouldn't touch it with a 9 foot pole...

Cool. Good to see it working. I'll edit my threads to suggest remming it out instead of trying to edit them.

Just tried it in vanilla on the retail exe. After creating a patch rfa for El Alamein to remove the max player count from the singleplayerAllied.con and SingleplayerAxis.con files, the mod worked correctly. There's something your not doing right with your mod. What mod are you doing this on? Does th...
