Terrain dissappears when zooming

Post by Laserlight »

Hi. :)
I have just found this website!
I thought i was the only one who liked warzone (as it didn't sell well)
It’s great that there are people who are rebuilding this game!
Good luck and hope to see some stuff from me. :D
Just one thing though.
I have found I can run the game full screen on a 1024-768 but looks like half that making it look blotchy.
There is one more thing (soz) the floor disappears.
I have played the playstation version and found these problems didn’t exist.
Seya soon. ;D

First, do you mean that when you play at half the resolution the game looks blotchy? Because playint at resolutions lower than 1024*768 will most likely don't look good. 800*600 would be kinda allright but any lower would just look very bad. So if this is the case, it's definetly not a bug :)

Second: Ths disappearing terrain is caused by the ultra zoom function. Actually not caused by it, but it most often appears when zooming out or in a lot. In the original warzone, you weren't able to zoom this much so the problem never arised. the possible solution to this problem is to increase the drawing distance i suppose.

Probably the near clipping plane is too near and/or the camera doesn't collide with the terrain correctly.

If you would like to report a bug, first read the Bugreporting HowTo

And in a forum that's called "bug-reporting" you don't need to use the word "bug" in the topictitle. But making it be the only word is very indescriptive.

Sorry about that. :'(
Thankz but what i meant is it was running at a resolution lower than i wanted it to be.
I had done the shortcut bit with the --fullscreen-- 1024-768- (not actual)
And found it had run in fullscreen but at a resolution of 640-480 (i think) :-\
Its version 2.6 and i had the same problem with 2.5 :o
Thankz and seya soon. :)

You should use something like this: ["path\to\warzone2100.exe" --fullscreen --resolution 1024x768]
So firstly, prefix it with "--resolution" and secondly use an 'x' as separator between width and height, like: "widthxheight"

That’s what i did (like i said next to the resolution) but i still have that problem. ???
I don’t seem to have very good quality when playing as it seems squashed and very blurred in a way.
I have tried to fix it with the new version 2.6 but I still haven’t fixed it.
Other then that I have had no problems.
Good work and seya soon.

Can you copy your entire shortcut target here? We could check what's wrong with it. Many people before thought they did it right but their was always some little error here or there :) believe me, you don't want to play wz @ 640*480
