ah yeah that fixed it thank you....realized that last night after i commented and forgot to say.
Leu_810 7 Aug @ 2:40pm 
Its Recomended that when removed, close and open the game so the textures refresh
HentaiHamster 6 Aug @ 10:11pm 
when i removed the mod there were still giant invisible trees everywhere like...shadow like trees on roads and stuff. any ideas?

I'm having same issue as @Phil

@Alree

Thanks for checking!
I'm not sure how to see the size of the textures, how do I do that?
Alree  [author] 1 Aug @ 7:53pm 
@Phil
will check, I know there is issue in Autumn but look like you're in June on your screen
You play in 1x or 2x textures ?

The tree bush/leafs are displaced as you can see in the screenshot. I think this is one of the big issues causing trees blocking the user view. Many trees are facing the same issue.

@Alree Immersive!

Appreciate you and much of your work! Glad to hear you are working on something, looking forward to it! :sans:

@Tricosis
Thereis no offenses and I understand what you mean
That's why I made a separated mod (that I do not use) to help players
I try to tweak it a little bit actually
Tricosis 19 Jul @ 8:03am 
I understand. I could of course see how making the vision cone too transparent would essentially allow players so see through any forest, which would go against the purpose of the mod. What I would personally love is for the vision cone to only be improved if the player is inside a vehicle, just so that it doesn't become an issue when otherwise moving through a forest. Don't know weather or not that is doable. Perhaps leave it as an addon if the demand for it is high enough.

I know there is a sense of difficulty in being a mod creator as the people downloading the mod may have different intentions behind why they want to use it, and they may not always be the same as that of the mod creator. I don't want to tell you to add any features in which you yourself would not want to use, just because that is what I want. But if you could find the time to make an add on that does this, it would be greatly appreciated by a lot of people I think.
NalMac 19 Jul @ 7:55am 
@Alree Ahh, That'd be my problem then. I'm not using ViZion since I felt it would make the game a bit too easy for my liking but I suppose I'll have to give it a try since it would probably fix the problem completely. Also it does look really nice to not have all the random black voids everywhere to be fair lol.
Alree  [author] 19 Jul @ 7:49am 
@NalMac
That's the real problem, the fake vision cone
That's why I made and use my other mod "Unlock ViZion" to at least remove the black void over everything, this way trees never appear black

@Tricosis
I know that it's not a realistic mod, and yes, road should be visible
But realistically you never see yourself from an isometric point of view ^^
I have to compose with actual engine limitations
And the LoS is one of the limitations
I have idea to reduce this, for others, on my side I cut the trees ^^
I just have to find the perfect balance between gameplay, whats players expected from a mod I made for me and whats PZ code let me tweak without crashing
Tricosis 19 Jul @ 7:30am 
Fair enough. I treated it as a graphic mods so didn't know difficulty was the intention behind it. Of course the lack of visibility would make sense when surviving in the forest, but road visibility is an issue with how the grid system of this game works. Realistically, roads would be visible. When driving vertically, visibility is clear. When driving diagonally or horizontally, it is not. It is a gameplay limitation and thus did not seem like an intentional feature.

I respect your decision to do with the mod as you wish, but adding a cone of visibility for driving just seemed to make sense as trees wouldn't realistically obstruct a clear line of sight. It is just the way the game works that makes it obscured for the player, despite being clear from the characters perspective.
NalMac 19 Jul @ 7:24am 
Hardcore is fine but just last night I had 0 visibility on a side road. If too many trees are bunched up close together you don't get any kind of transparency just a black blob for miles of road until it clears out. Other than that I've loved the added difficulty the bigger trees add. Really makes the wilderness feel full and overgrown like they should be.
Alree  [author] 19 Jul @ 7:07am 
@Tricosis
``
* Gameplay challenge: Denser tree coverage significantly reduces visibility, making survival harder—perfect for hardcore players seeking a more intense experience.
``

That's the purpose in fact, not being able to do everything easily or drive everywhere at 120 mph
I will increase visibility with the Visivility mods, but by default this mod is an hardcore mod as say in desc and tags
Tricosis 18 Jul @ 9:59pm 
Second what others are saying. While the trees look great, the visibility on some roads are next to non existent, even with the addon. You won't be able to see either zombies or car wrecks until they are straight in front of you. There really needs to be a visibility cone in the direction you're driving as well.
sh1nii on twitch 18 Jul @ 10:34am 
I really like this mod but the visibility when you walk through the trees is abysmal, do you think there could be a 25, 50, 75 and 100% larger
NalMac 18 Jul @ 5:15am 
@Alree Thanks a lot! Wilderness has looked so much nicer ever since using this mod.
Alree  [author] 18 Jul @ 3:46am 
@NalMac, you're right, I now I have time to do that and will try to tune up this a little bit
TonyStonk 18 Jul @ 2:34am 
Cant see anything even with the ViZibility addon
NalMac 15 Jul @ 10:26am 
I absolutely love this mod but the visibilty addon needs a heavy buff. It's fairly impossible to navigate or drive in some areas.
samfin1991 13 Jul @ 11:11am 
Looks incredible. Any way to scale up the amount of logs and resources each tree produces with the increased size?
Park Ranger 6 Jul @ 10:05am 
Nice mod, but I found these trees.. distracting? I don't know what I feel exactly, I just don't like it to some degree. Just an idea, can you consider making multiple versions with different sizes? Let's say your original mod is x2 the size of vanilla trees. Then maybe a few versions with x1.5, x1.75, x1.25? Because I like the idea of somewhat bigger trees, but with "x2" version, I feel like i'm in the sequoia forest.
BTW I have installed your other mod that makes veiw clearer, so it's not about "I can't see shit with these tall trees" at all.
Much love, thanks for mod
Title Fight Enjoyer 5 Jul @ 6:42pm 
love this mod but it makes driving a bit fucky when im flying off my motorcycle because a colossal tree is blocking my vision from above
Plin 24 Jun @ 10:09pm 
НЕ ставьте мод если не хотите потом е@аться с деревьями, у которых видимость не настроена чуть более чем полностью и из-за этого не видно полгорода, кстати удаление мода не откатывает изменения
区区致命伤 22 Jun @ 10:40pm 
It's best not to start the zombie run in this forest. I have died several times because the trees blocked my view. I have temporarily given up.
Mr. Troll 6 Jun @ 3:11am 
It's a bit too hard to see even with the treezvisibility mod. The trees look great but i also wish to know where i am :(
Capt. Val'conis 4 Jun @ 1:22pm 
Not bad... Way more trunk space than the cars.
Five Guys One Cup 1 Jun @ 6:41am 
Great mod but the trees are maybe a tiny bit too big. I say this not because of their size (bear with me here) but because it's too difficult to see unless zoomed all the way in which sucks with sprinters. Also the default bitmaps or sprites or whatever aren't scaled properly so they look a little off but honestly it look better than Vanilla, so it's more the inability to see.
Vulgar Calluna 30 May @ 1:14pm 
I've also been having trouble seeing anything when driving through wooded areas - such as the road to Guns Unlimited from Echo Creek.
leobet2me 29 May @ 2:02pm 
cant see on road when driving man.. gotta work out the thickness
Alpha Gamer 25 May @ 12:24pm 
the tree visability mod doesnt work very well, still get blinded
Brett Orsborn 22 May @ 4:10pm 
Sorry my man, I could only tolerate these trees for like 5 minutes. They are so big that it just overshadowed the rest of the game. They look great. Just need to be like 25-30% smaller
RunYouCleverBoy 11 May @ 1:44am 
with treeZvibility it looks awesome but problem - i cant see my character or something in the woods cause of crones
RunYouCleverBoy 11 May @ 1:21am 
is it here able to decrease tree view collision( i cant see entire big zombie behind small little tree)?
Pharon 8 May @ 9:08pm 
im having issues seeing in front of me alot of the time even with the transparency adjustment mod. Not sure if i did something wrong but its still quite invasive. (The problem is the tops of trees since the base of those trees are father away from the player and are not be occluded.)
otc_otc_otc 30 Apr @ 2:58pm 
Why do trees near me stop me seeing in front of me? this is ridiculous, even with the transparency mod
marshmallow justice 15 Apr @ 11:49pm 
I just saw that you released a transparency adjustment add-on mod to this! Amazing!
I can add it back to our server without my friends complaining about not being able to drive anymore maybe :lunar2019smilingpig:

It made SUCH a difference in immersion, like actually so amazing having it, but just driving was very awkward.
CarltoN. 14 Apr @ 3:25pm 
had to unsub from this and the other shaderz mods. trees are spawning glitched into the ground and textures are flickering all over the screen.
number1millipedefan 12 Apr @ 11:33pm 
is there a version of this that scales them up a little less, or also scales up the smaller trees a bit? i love the idea but the size difference in the trees now is a bit jarring
Carabáo 10 Apr @ 7:02am 
The visual of the trees is very beautiful, but at the moment it's not very practical, as it's impossible to see anything at all, which is why I ended up uninstalling it. I suggest this issue be resolved by creating a more effective transparency zone, like in vanilla.
LokiPhur 31 Mar @ 12:12am 
I love the core concept of this mod, but driving anywhere near trees is impossible without smashing into everything thats on the road. If you can somehow make the trees (within a certain angle of the line of sight) transparent; then your mod would be perfekt. But currently its just gonna get me killed.
KWG 30 Mar @ 6:08pm 
Love this mod but the small trees are too small compared to the big ones and thats a bit annoying.
magond 30 Mar @ 9:36am 
@Alree,
But I wasn't going to publish such a mod. I respect the work of others. It would be very cool if you made variations of your modification. So that people could choose which version they want to install. Thank you very much.
Alree  [author] 30 Mar @ 7:18am 
@magond
Cool but you have to recalc all textures, and you cannot publish the modifications
magond 30 Mar @ 6:22am 
@Alree,
I want to reduce the size. I like your decision to make the trees bigger, but I want to experiment with the size. If I take the size in your fashion as 200%, I want to make it 150%.
Alree  [author] 30 Mar @ 6:10am 
@magond
Yep for some, and all offsets are calculated with this scaling
What did you want to do ?
magond 29 Mar @ 11:58pm 
@Alree — scaleTexture(texture, 1.1, 1.5, offsets.x, offsets.y) ?
Titto Hokkaido 29 Mar @ 8:25pm 
Great mod otherwise!
