Mod updated. I tried my best. Hope it works :d. I think it's more performance friendly by now.
In the previous version, some maps had duplicate trees. Probably for deleting lines in the .xml file. Now I just replaced mesh names with an empty string and it seems to work fine.
What is the performance hit or gain on each setting? - Default = Vanilla draw distance, no shadows. - Default_Distance = Extended draw distance, no shadows. - Shadows = Vanilla draw distance, vegetation can cast shadows. - Shadows_Distance = Extended draw distance, vegetation can cast shadows.
this looks so, so much better! i was just thinking about how poorly the foliage looks in-game and then stumbled upon this lol thanks! i really hope it works well
Download notepad++ Open flora_kinds.xml Select "View/Fold All" Ctrl+F Search "flora_tree" Click "Find All In Current Document" button Double click that you want to remove. Expand with "+" sign. Remove from ?<flora_kind name="xxxxxx" view_distance="xxxx.xxx"> to ?</flora_kind> Repeat
You can try to remove all lines that start with "tree_" but some trees are used in campaign map. So choose carefully and backup often.
