Please help me with a script who can disable terrain rendering in the game.
I've use it the F11 key with the 1 key, but this working just in test level not in the final game.
Also, if I use in standalone the "setup.ini" by setting
"superflatterrain=0" to "superflatterrain=1" all buildings of game map is going deep in the ground at hes roof level.
This "terrain rendering" make game to run too slow in night or dark sky with lighting poles (4-7fps).
See the example from: http://fpscrforum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=209998&b=2

This isn't a script, but usually terrain LOD and terrain size are 2 big ones that you can do (assuming you need the shaders on high). I usually do LOD down to 1, 2, and 3 (I know, horrible me), and then size down to 70 (any smaller and it starts to disappear within view). That should give you a few extra FPS.

Honestly though, you should wait until the next version release, there should be some speed improvements with both the terrain and the lighting.

Just put it wherever you want the terrain to stop rendering. Typically, it's done using a trigger zone when you enter a n indoor area. If you just want it done for the whole game then you can simply call it in a script that gets executed as soon as the player spawns. So, possibly put a trigger zone right where your player spawn point is and attach a script that calls this function.

Yep I use it in a trigger zone. Full thanks
Unfortunately, this option is for use indoors only.

This "terrain rendering" make game to run too slow in night or dark sky with lighting poles (the speed of game decrease at 4-7fps).

For this reason I want to decrease somehow rendering for terrain in game.

OK, but are you saying you can't turn terrain off with that command?

No, no. The command is fine and working, but when the player is outdoor = no terrain.

In fact, I need just to decrease the number of polygons (or whatever) for terrain and water to I can obtain a reasonable game speed.

Right. That's what you want isn't it? If not, you can just call ShowTerrain again to turn it back on.

I've setting to low a lot of function in the map editor game testing, and the game speed is still lowest.

yes that happens, you'll just have to wait for better optimisation on reloaded, try 1.009 when it's released - it might help, dont forget this is only a beta and things wont always work as you expect
