Change our current models (BF2) to CGI HD models

[Laroslav 183]

Currently the server is doing quite well, the current content is very good and changing the models for CGI (HD of course or equivalent) would not only be purely aesthetic but also in order to save space in the size of the server collection , improve the performance of the so-called "graphics" given that the current models in a certain sense requires more resources causing various things behind.

This would allow to give a new face for our battalions and possibilities in-game , these are models that are known not only for their popularity but also the fact that it gives a little more immersive just like the TVshow but better and they can all be modified for everyone's pleasure. This suggestion had a few times ago, landed in the ears of some players on teamspeak and since then no more news so we might as well see now what the players would think about it and especially once and for all if it is possible.

Extra note, the advantage with CGI is that there is a multide of models for each faction, organization and so on.

I have brought this up in the past. Although it's a massive headache to switcheroo everything over, players will benefit from huge FPS gains and much smaller download times. This is why other (larger servers than us too) typically opt for CGI

Indeed, you are even well placed to know that it takes time to just make the change. But the result in the end is very positive, I am curious to know what others think about it but I see this suggestion as something beneficial for us. just waiting now

Unfortunately based off of response I got in the past, it seems like most people favor "HEHEH GOOD LOOKING MODELS" as opposed to almost 200 FPS.

A change like this would be super beneficial!

I just prefer the current models. I would also feel really bad for garnet to go through and change all of them. -1

I’ve seen some of the models and they’re pretty customizable. Gonna be neutral.

i choose FPS over "good looking models"

[HahaWoah 11]

If there are body grouping add-ons to diversify between people in the same battalion, then I don't see a problem with it.

[Yubi 18]

If the models have the same amount as play as our current models, So like all the attachments and skins under the body groups menu. Yubi thinks it's worth the changes. It will allow us to have More Fps and it will fit some of our props way more. If they do not have the same kinda body groups then Yubi thinks everyone would end up looking 1 for 1. So for Yubi and maybe others it depends how much we can change the body groups. So Yubi's vote relies on how much players can customize the models. Doesn't have to be crazy, just something like what we have, just not HD.

I agree with having better performance in the server. Not only would we possibly be able to do more in events without people crashing but it would make the server itself smoother FPS wise. I feel like its a good tradeoff so I will be +1 on this.

they look TERRIBLE

Please never ever add this, one of the reasons I love gg swrp so much is the nice looking models, adding this would ruin that

I think that the models we use now offer a lot of individuality between everybody due to the vast amount of models and the different accessories that each of them get. I think if there is a way we can all look at the models that are in talks about being used it could give us a better insight as to what that change may look like. Doing so could give the players a chance to see what they like/don't like about them. I went to look at a few different models that look like the ones from the photos and wasn't too impressed with what they had to offer customization-wise compared to what we use now. Though, I am not entirely sure I found the right ones. I am not entire opposed, I now just think we need to just see a little bit more of them. -1

The space needed for SWRP is stupid
