» Mon Nov 28, 2011 2:00 pm

Are there any updated MGE exception lists?

Here's mine. It works well for me?

Mine from I-don't-know-who and with things added:

#MGE distant statics list

#Syntax is [nif file name]=[keywords]
#Use 'ignore', 'near' or 'far' to override the normal cutoff rules
#Use 'use_old_reduction' to use the old mesh simplification algorthim
#Use 'reduction_xx' where xx is the desired percentage to override static simplicication amount
#e.g. 'x\ex_vivec_ps_01.nif=far reduction_50' will cause the mesh 'x\ex_vivec_ps_01.nif' to always be visible and be reduced by 50%

#Lines beinging with '#' are comments
#Comments must start on the first character of a line
#All comments and blank lines will be completely ignored by MGE

#If the same edid is specified multiple times, the entry closest towards the end of this file will be used
#If an edid is not specified at all, that static will obey the normal cutoff rules

these exception list are quite long and include small objects, i guess this increases the performance?
can someone please tell me how to add them to MGEXE, is it the "statics override" thing?

thanks

Thanks! You guys rock.

MGE renders distant land objects which are over a certain size threshold. The list is for adding more objects to the distant land which are too small but visually more important. So it will decrease the performance by itself but not so much because the list is quite short. You can increase the minimum statics size to moderate the performance with these exceptions and get relatively good performance compared to only decreasing minimum static size and and less pop-ups.

There is also a problem with "mesh reduction" feature, this feature offers great performance improvement but it doesn't play nice with some curvy objects. I have some entries in the above list to exclude these objects from reduction.

Usage is simple. Copy/paste the list into a txt file and include the file via statics override during statics creation in distant land wizard. You can add more than one file.

thanks for the explanation, its working.

I must also thank you guys. I didn't have an exception list before, so no long range ghostfence or solstheim ice for me... until now! So, thanks. ^^
