Hey there!
Does anyone know if it is possible to make AA to have infinite bullet shells and decals that never get erased until a new round would start (I just love seeing all that rounds flying everywhere and on the ground :)).
I would love to have this on my desktop as it's powerfull enough for that (not on the laptop though).
ps: can it be made on the armyops.ini?
Keep Cool

I don't recall having seen it in any .ini . May i ask what's the purpose for? They're not a great visual effect, at least imho.

Well I do like those effects, that's also one thing that makes AA different from most games. We are near a wall, and we see rounds flying all over the place and recoiling in the walls...
And I really love to see millions of them on the ground :) Specially at bridge were people is shooting all over the place, I really loved to be able to change the limit to like a million or so :).

I'm sure it's possible to alter the stay-time of projector decals and mesh emitters in AA but it would be a fair bit of research and coding to make it happen. I don't think any of us are motivated in doing something like that so it probably won't happen. If you want to research it and find a way to alter those variables, go for it and I'm sure Jonny will make it a server/client option.

I think if you go to armyops.ini and find [Engine.LevelInfo] put DecalStayScale=100. It should look like this:
[Engine.LevelInfo]
MeshLODDetailLevel=MDL_Ultra
ShadowDetail=SHADOW_Detail
PhysicsDetailLevel=PDL_High
DecalStayScale=100
-
Yeah but that way only works for decals. Bullet shells should probably be hard coded into AA...

I have to check what class bullet shells are and I'll let you know.

im sure its the same, at least in l8r version.

Decals are projectors, bullet casings are probably emitters. They can never be the same. When I have time I'll look into it and let you know if you can change the lifespan with config files.

I thought projectors=casings
Casings are projected from the weapon but in Unreal, projectors are what they are in real life, they project an image (texture) onto a surface. Thus projectors are only used for decals, not 3d objects. 3d objects are handled by emitters.
