Forcing a graphic option for a mod...

[Michael Slaunwhite]

I was playing a nap scenario, and I'm using Jacks map edit to give it a test drive, and since he requests that you have to set your map detail to medium, I am wondering how I would set it up that a user doesn't have to set this option himself?

I'm not quite sure on where to look to do this so if someone can point me in the right direction I would very much appreciate it.

Okay I found the .ini file I need to edit but what would be the map objects level command be that I need to set?

Also, if I setup a map objects level in the map .ini will the users options override this?

...working the brain can be fun, and just a ball busting experience.

Okay I am trying to set the objlevel=1 in the defaults in the map .ini but it just doesn't seem to want to work for me when I load the map via loading the Nap scenario, or by playing a sandbox game.

Here is what the map .ini file has...

Map: 1_McPherson

[Contents of .ini file]

[About]
MapName=Mac Map
MapDesc=The Mac Map
Author=e.w.s
Contrib=Derek

[Files]
LSLFile=1_McPherson.lsl
CSVFile=1_McPherson.csv
Grayscale=1_McPherson.bmp
Minimap=1_McPherson_MM.dds

;Default settings for the map, one or more can be overridden by the scenario
;NearClip & FarClip should be performance options
;Visibility Radius should be a performance option

[Defaults]
WorldWrap=1
objlevel=1 <<= This is what I am trying to get to work, and it just won't.

I have also tried placing this in the .ini as well...

[MapPerf]
objlevel=1

...and this isn't working.

Not too sure why it's not working... :pinch:

objlevel is a general ini option, not map specific.

objlevel is a general ini option, not map specific.

Thanks, so the only place then is the Scenario.ini file. Do I require to have it under the header [MapPerf], or does it matter?

[norb]

I think the only place in the sowgb.ini file.

[Michael Slaunwhite]

Thanks Norb so I guess it can't be done then.

Request: Could you in a later patch allow these values to be changed so a person can customize the graphics levels to suit the mods requirements?

Just thinking Sir.

[norb]

Graphic options are a user preference, not a scenario preference. A scenario should always be written to look it's best. Then the user scales it down on how they need it to perform on their box.

Thanks Norb.
