View Distance in Vietnam Maps
Hi guys, I'm currently working on a 2km map for PR:V.
It seems to me that most Vietnam maps have draw distances which are less than the recommended 600 - 800 range for 2km maps. I assume that this is to allow for denser foliage than would be possible if the viewdist was > 600. It seems like it would be less noticeable to have smaller view distances in Vietnam, as there are very few zoomed-in optics, and very few vehicles have weapons with zoom. Unfortunately, my BF2 editor crashes when it loads any kind of Vietnam map (except Ia Drang), so I cannot confirm this myself. But it seems to me that Vietnam maps do not have to follow the exact same guidelines as other maps to be included in PR... am I correct in thinking this? If my guess is correct, then exactly what are all the specifications that a PR:V map has to meet in order to be included into PR? |

Re: View Distance in Vietnam Maps
guidlines != rules. They are guidelines. Often VD is a sacrifice made to get indeed higher OG counts.
A specification is the same for every map: make it run as smooth as possible, push it all as good as you can get while keeping good FPS and keep gameplay in mind. edit:Ninjarhinoceros |
