It makes more sense since, as the guide points out, NGIO has nothing to do with Grass LOD, so precaching should be separate and stand on its own.Ģ. And then perhaps refer to it as a prerequisite from the optional Grass LOD generation procedure further down. Suggestion: make the precaching procedure a mandatory part of the NGIO installation, so that it's performed in all scenarios, similarly to how running Nemesis is described as part of its installation. Well, NGIO still works in this case, but not as intended, as with the given configuration no grass cache is ever generated, even dynamically, so caching can't be used - per my own experience. In the case of a user who wishes to skip grass LOD generation, this discrepancy produces a non-working NGIO setup because the precaching procedure is never described and is never done. In Section 19 of the guide (Utilities), if my understanding is correct, the guide explains that NGIO precaching is mandatory for all users:Īnd indeed the suggested configuration assumes that precaching is used:Īs the guide stands however, the precaching procedure is buried deep inside the LOD part of the guide (STEP 6), specifically for optionally generating grass LOD: Nevertheless I'd like to provide some feedback regarding NGIO.ġ. Yes I understand it's all WIP and subject to change.
