Warhammer 3 LOD Distance Enhanced

Description
Greetings fellow Total War players!

It appears that Warhammer 3 have a much shorter LOD(level of detail) distance than in previous titles, especially for units.

And in TW Warhammer 3 every unit has 4 LOD levels.
LOD0 is the main high def model
LOD1 is the secondary mid quality model
LOD2 is the third and low quality model
LOD3 is the final and very poor quality model (meant to be seen at very far distances so it is unoticable)

The screenshots I have uploaded shows the maximum distances a specific LOD level model loads for different type of units.

And it seems there is also a bug with the LOD1 level as it barely even loads for some units which makes the short LOD distance in Warhammer 3 even worse. The colors in the screenshots are references to each LOD.

Green - LOD0
Blue - LOD1
Pink - LOD2
Red - LOD3

This mod aims to fix or at least enhance this distance to give you a much more visually pleasing gaming experience.



What does this mod do?

• Alters the art.xml files to allow for a longer LOD distances for units.



How compatible is the mod?

• Should work with anything really.
• But be warned, because of the nature of this mod it will always load. It is in a movie type packfile so disabling it wont really disable it. You need to delete it from your data or content folders to remove the mod from your game.



Is there a performance impact?
• There is a performance impact and it can be significant or minor depending on your system.



Can I customize this for my system?
• Yes, look at my guide for how to make this mod yourself and see section 3 for where you need to look.

Recommended Mod: I made this mod as a more real solution to many fixes in my Visual Bug Fixes mod, but it is still recommended because it also fixes many other visual bug.

RIP Morghur. Killed by the maker of this mod. You will live forever in our hearts. Curse you Merwanor!

@=Mr.Stafflink= In the variants_tables, just copy all unit entries that has something in the Super Low Poly Filename tab and just remove the data in the tab.

Yes, that's it, but can you tell me what you did with the 2d lod sprites and what specifically you edited in the db folder, your Resize Matters No LOD mod? I just want to make a fix for the lod myself.

@=Mr.Stafflink= I think I know what it is now. There is an extra set of LoDs that this mod does not touch on. It is the 2D sprites type of LODs that some units use.

You can try my Resize Matters No LOD mod which does remove these LODs, or if you want a mod that does not change unit scales, you can give Battle Lod Remover from Quentilius a try.

I think that mod should fix the issue.

When you move away the camera battle, the units, and many, lose shields, animations become crooked and broken ...

@=Mr.Stafflink= I don't really understand what you mean by camera removal?
=Mr.Stafflink= 17 May @ 1:46pm 
Hi. I noticed that this mod does not cure the disappearance of shields in many units, with minor camera removal.... Is it possible to fix this? Shields disappear in many units of dwarves, orcs, empire, some models become gray when the camera is removed. If the solution to such a thing a?

@Vichechi You should not have to do anything else but install it.

Do I need to tweak any settings or anything to activate this tweak? Or is it enough to just install it?
