WGL_Settings.sqf

Basic Overview and Idea

wgl_settings.sqf is a user-editable preferences file. For performance reasons, especially in multiplayer conditions, some extra visual effects are disabled by default. People with fast computers may want to enable these things to add to the experience of OFP with WGL.

Currently, one can enable or disable these things:

• Extra infantry weapons smoke puffs (false)
• Infantry weapons bullet impact effects (false)
• Use of (bn880's) tracers (true)
• Smoke, explosion and fire effects for destroyed vehicles (true)

HowTo

In the folder @wgl5, you'll see a file named wgl_settings.sqf. You can open that with any text editor such as Notepad. You should only change lines that have ["name", true/false] in them. After you're done, save the file again and play OFP again.

The changes will take effect when you start the next mission. (That means you don't have to restart OFP but can keep playing instead)

Examples

• To enable rifle smoke, change ["rifleFX", *false*] to ["rifleFX", *true*]
• To disable the tracers, change ["tracers", *true*] to ["tracers", *false*]
