saroTweakMapFPS

Description
Singleplayer / Multiplayer / Eden-Editor compatible. CBA required. Server and clients need the mod.
Addon deletes (by hideing) terrain objects to boost fps on maps.
Its fully customizable through CBA-Settings.

YOU HAVE TO ADJUST ADDON-SETTINGS IN OPTIONS MENU or the mod does nothing! See notes below for usage.

It can be used by server admins to get better fps on clients. Server settings will force the client to the same settings.
You are able to configure deletion percentages of rocks, trees, bushes, walls, fences and hides.
Those objects are not transferred through network. Every machine executes the hiding local for itsself but the algorithm ensures that every machine deletes the same objects.

This addon tries to solve fps problems in Singleplayer and Multiplayer environments caused by a heavy terrain-object count on maps.
On some maps there are so many rocks, trees, bushes, walls, fences and hides that some CPUs/GPUs get to their limits and the player is forced to limit the viewdistance by far to get an acceptable framerate. Also on some maps these objects are not well optimized and fps drops occur therefore.

For Serveradmins it is recommended to use a cba settings file in userconfig folder and to enable filePatching.
cba settings file and user config folder is described here:
https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/wiki/CBA-Settings-System#userconfig

This mod is on your side :-)

Singleplayer/Editor usage:
1. Open your Singleplayer/Editor mission.
2. After it is started press Escape key.
3. Then click on "Options"->"Addon Options".
4. Choose "Saro Tweak Map FPS" from the drop down menu named "ADDON".
5. Choose your prefered deletion rates.
6. Press "OK".
7. Pause Menu is disabled now until new settings are processed completely.

The terrain objects get deleted with your chosen rates just before your character will spawn.

Singleplayer notes:
Now full Singleplayer compatible. Mod refreshes hiding on each save.

boris_sobaken's info is true. HUGE fps drop on WL_Rosche map, props are flickering.

Use this mod careful. :cleanfloppy:

mod is incompatable with some maps! Huge fps drops on multiplayer servers when AI is active. It took us about 6 hours to figure it out and delete the PBO. The creator is advised to contact me, I'll show the problem for furher fixes and improvements

@Sarogahtyp Would love to have a New Update with a Custom set deletion rates or just more Options for it like 55 60 65 70
A New Quality Of Life Update that only remove terrain objects when it outside 1000,2000,3000 dist
