Haircuts From Distance

[Maichal1616]

Hi guys, I don't know if this has been discussed here, couldn't find it so I thought I'll post it here, as I believe many of you, like me, find it stupid that all the haircuts look exactly the same from far distance. When I saw this, I recalled there was a similar problem in UCL (only that in UCL it was only with long haircuts as all long haired players looked like this -> when zoomed out). Since that one was solved with a simple solution, I thought I'll try it out in FIFA 06 as well and it works. All you have to do is find the lines below in the cfg_pc_h file (or cfg_pc_m, cfg_pc_l depending on which quality setting you use) and replace the values with these:

PLAYERHEAD_LOD_HIGH_FAR = 0.01
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_MED_NEAR = 0.001
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_MED_FAR = 0.0001
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_LOW_NEAR = 0.00001
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.000001

Don't remember where I found this, may have been on these boards. This causes the known frame rate problem to get even worse though, so it may not be a good thing with lower-end machines. But with render every ai frame enabled it shouldn't be too bad.

I'm sure those of you, who mess with the files alot have figured this out a long time ago, but I think this post might be useful for those, who don't. I apologize if it has been posted here already.

You know, its not just the hair either - it's many things. Guess they do this to smooth frames out or something. I was watching a replay (using the instant replay thing) of a goal celebration, and zooming in and out on the scorer...from up close he is making the #1 sign with his hand, but zoomed out a few clicks, it turns into a simple fist - the finger disappears. Oh well, still a damn sweet game thus far....

Yeah, the finger thing and other body details can probably be solved altering these values:

PLAYER_LOD_HIGH_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYER_LOD_HIGH_FAR = 1.806
PLAYER_LOD_MED_NEAR = 1.856
PLAYER_LOD_MED_FAR = 0.714
PLAYER_LOD_LOW_NEAR = 0.764
PLAYER_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.21
PLAYER_LOD_SLOW_NEAR = 0.26
PLAYER_LOD_SLOW_FAR = 0.0

With the cost of smoothness regrettably that is.

But the haircuts thing is really annoying, I think, and I for one am willing to sacrifice a bit of the smoothness for solving that.

Same here - I'll make a copy of my config first, then try the settings you posted, thanks.
