Render Qwai fields as overgrowth.

[Charity Case]

Could the crop fields on Qwai River be rendered as overgrowth instead of undergrowth? In their current form, the plants don't draw over about 100m, so they're useless as concealment. In fact, they're are worse than useless because players standing in the fields can't see out but anyone 100m away can easily see (and shoot) in.

I believe remaking the fields as overgrowth would solve this problem because overgrowth draws at all distances. Also, re-rendering the fields would dramatically change the maneuvering possibilities for infantry around Estate, Processing, and Government Office. Despite its age, Qwai River remains one of the best maps in PR. And re-rendering the fields would only improve on this excellent map.

That would be nice if it doesnt make the map to taxing. My favorite map. Whoever made it.....your awesome...so are the rest of the DEVs...but you have a special place in my heart. Now that all that mushy stuff is out of the way lets go gut some fools.

Ahhh overgrowth...I damn thee

The quick answer is no, the long answer is yes. The problem is a tree here or there is fine but a grass blade every inch would bog the engine down so much it would be unplayable.

Now I know what your thinking. Just use the crop static as over growth. The only problem is that the crops we have are made to sit on flat ground 50m x 50m. Now we do have somethings in the works that are OPSEC

So there is the short and long anwser.

Isnt the ones in Korengal valley fields rendering at longer distances? maybe make something like those then?

I forgot, who did make it? The map that withstands time best.
Pity the signatures was taken of the loading screen minimap.

Map authors are listed in the guide, on individual map pages.

I know, you're talking about a recent flood of resuggestions, aren't you? I'm sure that would tick anyone off. Don't worry, though, a few good fastropes

Ok, so one would have to make custom crop statics in the shape of the crop fields. Well, maybe when Qwai v2 comes out .
