How do I get Farcry to execute this command upon startup?

[jakobkraft]

I want it to automatically exec this:

E_TERRAIN_LOD_RATIO = "1"

This locks terrain detail which is really nice - I hate seeing the shape of the land change so much from certain distances.
But I can only get it to work by adding it in the console myself as I'm playing. I tried adding it to every cfg file in the farcry folder but no use.

Maybe I need to add a line to the shortcut or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

....look for a config file in the farcry "system" dir. It might be located somewhere else....but I think its in there. Open the file with notepad and slip that arguement in.

I would guess right click on your Far Cry icon> proporties>then go to shortcut > target

my target looks like this to enable HDR etc ..

"D:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Crytek\Far Cry\Bin32\FarCry.exe" -DEVMODE "r_hdrrendering 7" "e_vegetation_sprites_distance_ratio 100.000000" "r_TexNormalMapCompressed 1"

I would guess you would need something like this to froce that setting.

"D:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Crytek\Far Cry\Bin32\FarCry.exe" "E_TERRAIN_LOD_RATIO 1"

I thought that would do it but still no luck...although your hdrrendering command started up fine - I like the glare that you get from that, very cool...

It's weird, that one little stupid command is the only one that I can't get going from the start - all the others work perfectly - and it's a pain to keep typing it in the console cause I never remember it exactly, have to go back to tweakguide each time.

If anyone has a bit of time on their hands can you see if you can get this command (E_TERRAIN_LOD_RATIO = "1" ) to work upon startup? Try entering it manually into the console first, preferably during a big outdoor scene where the vegetation isn't completely covering the terrain. You should see the difference it makes, land stops changing - or rather losing shape from certain distances and locks perfectly.

Then, if you can, see if you can get the setting to startup automatically next time you load the game.
Should anyone endeavor to do this and succeed, you'd have my undying gratitude...thanks🙂

I dunno, this one is weird.

When you load up the game with the proper shortcut , it works: http://gotfrags.net/images/loadup.jpg
but then when you start a map it reverts to 2: http://gotfrags.net/images/level_load.jpg.
This is the only command I have ever seen overriden by a map load. There may be others, but this is first for me.

So it's just something I have to accept....of course, if anyone knows of a solution, I would, still, appreciate it much...thanks....!
