Hiya all.
I recently saw on a m8's BBS that for GP2 he likes to run in full
trackside detail but on circuits like monza and imola there are to
many trees. If he lowers the detail the trees disapper along with the
buildings!! BUMMER!! To get around this he has just deleted the trees
jam file in the Imola track dir. Now he runs in full detail, minus
the trees!!! This could be done for other details, so the sky is the
limit.
Well Done Simon Harmel.
Andrew.

Just have a look at the bitmaps converted by GP2JAM.

I've got all the JAM files viewable on my web site -
http://s10d.smb.man.ac.uk/~pps/gp2jams.html
So you can check out which ones are trees and might be worth deleting.

Don't bother over painting the tree jams green.....it won't help at
all!
As a test, I ran a lap at Monza at full detail and saved it as a hot
lap. I then replayed and checked occupancy at several points thoughout
the lap. I then took the 4 tree jams and painted them the proper green
that makes them transparent on the track. Again, I checked occupancy
on the same hot lap. Finally, I deleted the 4 tree jams and repeated
the process. Final result: Deleting the jams decrease occupancy
tremendously. Painting the jams a solid green does absolutely nothing
for occupancy. It does, however, remove the big grey walls that appear
without the jams, but thats it.
If some stud hacker could figure out how to remove the gray walls the
bitmaps are projected on in full detail, we could all have great
framerates...full detail minus trees....and low occupancy (alt-d does
it but it also removes other opbjects). Besides, I don't think trees
add to the feel of the race like full grandstands and track side
objects do.
For those interested here are the results of my experiment:
Track Regular Green No
Location Jam Jam Jam

6 sign 86 86 53
Parabolioca 80 80 46
7th sign 86 86 66
Finish 86 86 66
If you want a lower occupancy and you don't mind the grey walls,
delete the tree jams.
