[Mapping] Add more forestry

[WonderPlukkie 430]

Very simple. The only little forest we have is... sad. Too little trees, and could use some additions.

The mapping adition that will be linked will add some more green to a lot of Chilliad State Wilderness. This is also nice for Park Rangers. There is more forest and thus more ground to cover ( and more spots to hide for criminals, or places to sleep/rest for homeless people/hunters ).

TL;DR Add more nature to the Chilliad State Wilderness, and make Paleto Bay feel just a little more like a nice little town with beautyful nature surrounding it.

woulnt this add more load to the server, aKa streaming/downloading stuff in, thus creating lagspikes etc?

[fartacus 1,071]

no

[Strickland 2,278]

fuck no

[disappoint 673]

tbh I've played on a fivem server having more dense vegatation and it was nice and tons more immersive, without any notices in performance drops but I mean, that was a different platform from ragemp so I'm not too sure how it'd react to that.

buy everyone that plays a new potato, otherwise, his point is still valid.

Mapping has always have to keep a balance between looking nice, and everyone having the ability to run them, that's why you've never seen MT going wild on MTA, because you need to make sure everyone has the ability to play with the graphics designed for the game, plain and simple.

Not needed. The scenery we have around paleto etc is enough and I'll never get tired of it. Theres a large enough forest for people to go off road or hiking.

For everyone going on about this causing more lag: don't think a few more trees will destroy someones PC, if it could be tested if this causes significantly more lag than the vanilla map that'd be great.

 

Maybe not necessarily use this mod but something else that adds a bit more forestry as it'd be nice to do any sort of hunting/offroading/hiking RP in a more dense forest + it looks better overall

 

and it's more useful for criminals as well if it's more dense

 

Edit: Did some quick research on the mod, apparently it doesn't affect the FPS (on singleplayer/vanilla V) by more than 10-12FPS less on high settings, and even less on low.

 

The creator claims that they've done some things to make the mod less performance demanding after those numbers were recorded. Still, needs to be tested on the platform OwlV uses.

I highly doubt it'll cause lag however I do think we should focus on other things before looking at scenery aesthetics. This is still beta and also scenery mods would be cool I do think we should be looking at actual script suggestions that help improve peoples roleplay.  Once we are out of beta stage then maybe (and a very big maybe) we could look at improving the surroundings.

A big hug for you

Depends how many trees. Though I've actually managed to get them in-game and they don't lag me. Granted I used a 750 Ti (not the best GPU but it's decent) it handled the map with breeze.

 

You can also install this client-sided without having the server to install it. I know it takes away the idea behind the mapping but if the majority isn't up for it, what's to stop you from seeing it client-sided? I'd be up for making a tutorial on how it would be possible to get mappings to work alongside any server on RageMP. (Obviously and specifically for Owl V.)

[AlAzeeth 57]

I'm with @WonderPlukkie on this one. I don't think that my pc would suffer from this improvement in mapping. So all I see are pros concerning myself.

[Courtez 787]

Denied. I think there are better uses for adding additional mapping to the outside world than some trees. Like all of the items we allowed to be placed on MTA!
