Tree canopies, rooftops and such...
« on: April 16, 2018, 08:11:18 pm »
I'm returning after over a decade to play this lovely old game and have a question:  Is there a setting that can make the tree canopy and/or rooftops transparent/invisible?  While I enjoy looking at them, I find they greatly obscure my tactical view when trying to fight and navigate around.

Also, I have this thing were after I transition from one area to another, the screen is like pitch-black and I can't see a thing.  It's not a vision thing either, as both my characters can see in the dark and it sometimes happens during daytime.  Any ideas about what might be causing that?

Thanks for any tips you guys can give me.  Really been having a blast in your excellent PW!  8)

The second story issue is due to the hak tileset being used. There are very few of the buildings/trees from it that vanish.

I have the exact same issue and have brought it up numerous times. LOL

As far as the black, I think that is an EE thing. Just move around and it should go away. I get it a lot. Mostly in the boat to Valstiir.

You just have to control your camera angles better with the middle mouse button when in a forest :)

Yeah, I'm sure I'll get the knack again after some practice.  It's just been a loooong time since I last played the game.   ;)
