Yes and it is already available on the workshop @Ascythian

Is a WH3 version in the works?

It will not work with other reskins except the ones i made submod for

Does this mod work for any other reskins, or does it only work with the ones mentioned above?

@Lord of Cinder @BloodWolf
modding is just about modifying the tables used by the game
you should start by opening them (located in the data folder of the game) with rpfm utility (you can find it easily on google)
it would be too complicate to explain how all these tables interact with eachother, but their names are quite explicit

@Chef
yes i think i had to accept a steam agreement so my update could be online
now it should be ok

how did you go about doing this? I would like to do the same for every mod i use but idk how I would even start. thank you for this mod!

Hello, can you help me out a little bit?
can you explain how you did it? is it possible to do in atilla?
i wanted to modify a 1212 mod in a similar way, but i know next to nothing about programming or modding

Hello Quentilius, I just wanted to tell you that Hooveric has just updated his main mod and I wanted to know if you could update your submod, I would really appreciate it since your mod has become essential for me xD

Hi Pedro le Macon,
Sadly i can't remove the small lod system
It is something build in the model itself and i would have to modify the model itself to be able to modify this kind of lod

hi there,first thanks for the mode always been using it and its not an option for me as i prio visual quality. But since ur latests updates there are small lod like in the first battle with the rune dwarf lord vs greenskin. may i ask you to make a version wich improve more visual quality ? i have a very good pc and i can sacrifice some fps, but i really cant stand this visual when i max zoom out. thank you for the reply anyway.

Cool update - thank you very much!
Is there a similar column for the distance of the LODs ?
.. that would make a great middle way for lower systems ( like mine ;-) )
keep it up !

@Quentilius We appriciate the work u put into this, thank you.

i will try lowering a bit the distance of animation lod,
but just to remind, this is a visual mod, it's goal is to improve the visuals of the game and not improve performances

ok i just tried a battle with six full armies fighting on the ground
fps are quite low, but it's pretty stable and playable
i think maybe your system has some issues (and i am pretty sure it's a power issue) @Aeyn

oh and btw @Aeyn,
these results are quite low for a rtx 3080 ti ;)
you should check if your psu is delivering enough power for your gpu and if you don't have anything going wrong with your system

Ok so i did some test and with my gtx 1070 ti with graphics put on ultra with ultre unit size i am getting the following results :

Mod with animation lod remover : 53 avg, 34 low
Mod without animation lod remover : 65 avg, 55 low

So then it's quite obvious the extra animations displayed on the screen are impacting a lot the performances

I will consider creating a separate mod for animation lod remover or lowering a bit the animation lod distance

@Aeyn thanks again for your feedbacks
i will make some framerate tests on my side to compare the performance loss with animation lod removed
and if it is impacting performance a lot i will do 2 different mods

@Quentilius I've had some more time to play wh2 with this mod and I think it doesn't work when fighting with/against Skaven.

Using the skaven graphics benchmark to provide some comparison numbers, on my 1440p monitor with large unit size.

No Mod + graphics ultra: 63 avg, 47 low
No Mod + graphics high: 72 avg, 56 low

With Mod + graphics ultra: 44 avg, 30 low
With Mod + graphics high: 48 avg, 37 low

The mod is noticeably impacting my framerates, and the game doesn’t feel as fluid and stutters from time to time. I didn’t notice this earlier because I only played a few mid-size skirmishes and not vs the Skaven. Since I didn't benchmark with the previous version of this mod I can't provide any before and after numbers to isolate the animation changes specifically.

Thanks for your feedback @Aeyn !

The animation LOD changes are great.
Small fps hit but not really noticable on my GTX 3080Ti.
When I first installed this mod I was unsure if it was working because all the tails in my Lizardmen army further away were moving in sync. Now its a lot more dynamic and immersive :)

And of course it has a little impact on framerate, but not that much
and as i said before, framerate is the last thing you care about in a strategy game

I don't use linux for gaming sorry @Star-X
Windows is more suitable for this, and if you check windows 11 you will be happy to see that it has a very close to KDE desktop

Oh, didn't read that it was just you outright removing LoD models. Damn, guess that makes TEB unusable on Linux Proton still :/

How's this mod for framerate? Asking as it may ironically solve the artifacting bugs plaguing TEB and OvN Araby on Linux when using Proton, as most of the issues happen when zoomed out, not zoomed in (possibly all? Gave up on those a while ago for that reason)

Hi everyone !
Big announcement here :
I just updated the mod with an increase distance for animation lod
Can you just tell me if you face performance issues with this update ?

An d sorry everyone, i don't have much time to mod these days so i will create other submods when i will have more time

Hi Chef,
I will do it when it will be in final version

Hi Quentilius, do you have any plans to make a version for the new Hooveric reskin mod?

Thanks

Submod for Ultimate Chaos? Pretty please? Sigvald would be extremely pleased!!!

hey man! mod looks awesome! could you make a submod, if necessary, for the Uniforms & Heraldry reskin series? i saw you had a Hooveric one so just wanted to request for the U&H users. either way, thanks, and i appreciate the work!

could you please do a submod for Cataph's southern realms?

@Quentilius do you know if game supports to remove LOD from buildings & trees in battles? Also campaign map textures.

Hi, thx for the mod btw it does make everything look a lot a lot sharper and better. Is it/will it be compatible with lorefriendly empire reskin [the one with a 2021 update]? thx

Thanks Quentilius, your awesome. :)

I just added a new submod for full compatibility with Radious Total War mod
please check the link in the description above

@KevRockZ
it's done ! :)

Love this mod, thanks mate. Any chance of a submod for Radious? :)

This is a must have imo. adding this good work to my collection https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2367589692

@+Halina+ thanks !

@Chef no worries thanks for reporting ;)

@Quentilius ok, sorry it just seemed weird to me, I didn't see it like that in armies like the imperial ones

Great work, keep it up m8!

@Chef i just tested and it works as expected
i think what you see is the lod on animations not on models, and sadly i didn't find a way to remove animations lod yet

@acv55555
yes i would love to remove every lod from the game, but sadly it seems to be not possible, at least for me ... :(

@Chef thankss for reporting, i will check your issue

It works! However, sadly, while the high res model remains, the amount of dynamic/moving models still adheres to the old, short LOD. Kinda wish I could see my whole army raising their fists high, shaking their swords at the enemy, and moving around instead of only those troops nearby with the rest of my army looking like shuffling statues.

Hello Quentilius, I have tested and the dark elf armies seem to not work

I have checked it with this mod and with the compatibility with Dryrain Hooveric Reskin

you're welcome yavuz ;)
thanks for your reply

Seems more stable than before, i will test more thanks for your efforts^^
