Custom Model Displays

skazalien · 26. August 2016

Hey guys!
As you may know, I'm currently working on a quite big project, probably it's going to be my last serious map,
but i've got some troubles with it right now, and I have absolutely no idea how to make it work.

So, essentially the thing that makes me furious, are the custom models' display (LOD).
I imported nearly 60 custom models to my map along with over 200 custom textures, and most of them works very well.
But.. Some models appear as they need to, but there are some models which appear so randomly, for example whenever
I'm close to the model, everything is ok... but as soon as I get farther, it just doesn't appear. Also, sometimes it disappears
when I'm directly standing basically 2metres away from e.g. a tree or grass model. I only noticed this kind of 'bug' with grass,
tree and bush models. All the lamp posts, rocks, garage-models, etc... work correctly, but the detail-models... ergh

From far:

From near:

Also, I already asked some people, one of them told me it's because the Level of Detail (LOD), but he told me it's
already on max... I'm puzzled
If anyone has either any ideas what it is cause by or solutions, I'd be so grateful.

Have a nice day

Grass:
Model: Screenshot by Lightshot
Texture: Screenshot by Lightshot

Tree:
Model: Screenshot by Lightshot
Texture: (has 4 textures, so I don't send them, but it's quite the same as the grass' texture)

Basically all Model options are the same for me

does it only happen to you?
Maybe you've set some wrong dvar.

Back in the days I used r_lodscreenLimit 4and r_lodscreenIDKWhichVar 4 to see less trash on stock servers. Try to set these to 1

happens also for me

Hm settings look okaytho, i used animated as type for the models i used in fx or placed in maps, didnt add that much tho.
And i use none as collisionLOD.

It rly looks like you are exteeding visible model limit in some way, similar stuff happens if you exteed the fx elememt limit, some will dissapear and randomly appear again.
But in the case of fx elements you get messages in console with developer 2 so idk.

I checked developer 2, and these are the things it gave me:

I don't know whether that memory-thingie would cause all these issues or not.
