Hello Guys, I would like to proudly announce that a project of mine to increase the resolution of terrain textures has been completed. This mod overwrites the textures.scd and works by tiling most terrain textures to 4x or 8x the original resolution. Some textures were edited by hand, and some textures were left as they were. It doesnt necessarilly work on all maps, because there is some limitations as to how the tiling works, but in most cases it does improve terrain quality.

It works well with vanilla or my scale mod, I dont know if it works on multiplayer with people who havent got it, someone may have to confirm this.
[EDIT:] Apparently this does work with people who haven't got it, thanks for the feedback.

I think I speak for the majority of the forum when I say;

    Holy ****, this is awesome!


If I could afford the 1.7GB download, I'd be getting this right away to go with the DLC sale on.

Congratulations for this Mod!!. Looks fantastic!!. Used for my with vainilla version + DLC.

I have a question for you, because I think you're quite capable of responding:

I play this game with maximun quality settings but, I see that, when I push zoom out, the quality graphics and effects of the units decreases. Any idea to maintain max quality regardless the level of zoom?

I hope you do not mind me asking this question here, thanks in advance!!.

It's a feature of the game to reduce CPU charge, to change it you would have to change each LOD distance of each unit of the game I think.

Thanks Lt_hawkeye but, i was thinking in other posibilty:

I found this:

Console Commands

Cheat Code Instructions

First be sure to make a backup of all files that you plan to edit. Locate your game.prefs file. It should be in C:\users\\appdata\local\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander 2\game.prefs. Open the file using Notepad so you can edit the file. To the very top of the file above "options_overrides", add: debug = { enable_debug_facilities = true }. Then, find the "CheatsEnabled" text in the file and make sure it's set to true. Save this file and then you'll be able to activate the following cheats while playing the game.
Cheat Code Category cheat code effect
Alt-A No AI
Alt-Delete Delete All Selected Units
Alt-F2 Create Unit
Alt-N No Damage
Alt-T Teleports All Units
Ctrl-Alt-B 99999 Mass, Energy, and Research Points for All Players
Ctrl-Alt-Z Toggle Fog of War
Ctrl-Shift-C Copy Units
Ctrl-Shift-R All Research for All Players
Ctrl-Shift-V Create Units from Clipboard
Z Activate Console

I want activate console for use the comands of this page:
http://supcom.wikia.com/wiki/Command_reference

In particular i'm interested in this command:

cam_DefaultLOD default value for camera level-of-detail scaling factor

I think this command can solve the problem of detail level units with zoom.

My problem is that this method not work's correctly. I don't get activate the console (z) following those instructions.

Every time i run the game, this file: "game.prefs", suffer this changes:
ON TOP OF FILE:
debug = {
enable_debug_facilities = true
}
AT END OF FILE:
version = {
major = 1
}
After, when i exit of the game, this order of file is this:
ON TOP OF FILE:
version = {
major = 1
}
AT END OF FILE:
debug = {
enable_debug_facilities = true
}

And so on when I run the game.

My questions:

Do you think this method can resolve the problem?
Do you know why I have this problems with console commands?

Otherwise, what can I do to edit unit BP files, and where are this files?

Thank you for your patience!!.

` Opens the console in-game. Unless you're in the UK, whereupon it's '. For German keyboard layouts: Open console with the "ö" key. In France its Ctrl+ù.

HI!!. I was working in my problem last night. As I thought the key was in the command_line: cam_DefaultLOD

The default value is 1.0000, when i change to value 0.0000 I can see the same max quality regardless of level of Zoom!!!.

What is now the problem: For activate the command line I need the console and for use the console, I used the Mod named Debug1.24 (thanks to theshadowlord) that change the lua.scd file.

This Mod seems work perfectly with lastest pach 1.250, but I can't play ranked matches in multiplayer.

Therefore, this it's my last question: Is possible activate the Console with vainilla game (with the original lua.scd file)? I'm Spanish, I tried press Ctrl+Ñ for activate the console, but nothing happens.

Thanks in advance and for your patience!!.

You want a UI mod to do it (which are possible in ranked games).

https://code.google.com/p/healthandmana ... p&can=2&q=

Should be able to do this. I use it to amp up the shadow detail and tweak the brightness.
