Increase of view distance - Page 2

zangoo · 01-17-2008, 11:48 PM

you can icnrease the draw distance of every thing on a map, that is how they get good minimaps. i would have a 2km view distance on kashan instead of 8xaa, high textures, ect.

here is how you can increase the view distance.

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\levels\level you want to edit\server.zip

in server.zip there will be 2 files called

init.con
sky.con

for init.con change

GameLogic.MaximumLevelViewDistance 1000

to what ever you want the draw distance to be

for sky.con change

Renderer.fogStartEndAndBase a/b/c/d

ok so a is where the fog starts, b is where you cannot see anything cus of the fog. not sure what c and d do so just leave em.

Does PB pick this up?

(sorry for n00bishness)

If you increased those values would we just see further or would it also render grass and kits?

i tried that in vanilla BF2 and PB didnt like it.

from my experiences, u can edit any .con file that isnt in a zip file.

also, if u try changing the view distance in the video.con file from 1 (100%) to something like 1.5 (150%) it automatically changes it baack to 1 (100%)

probably, if it didn't this trick would have been famous in BF2 vanilla where people get hacks to increase draw distance (or remove the fog)

ok i am not 100% sure if this would work have not tried this.

try adding

renderer.minCullDistance 2000

add it to the very last part of the init.con file near the other renderer things. this should make everything draw at 2000, so just set this a little higher then you draw distance.

Lol, so people could use those snipers that were accurate to 100m meters and whose bullet mysteriously disappeared after like 300m XD

Now this is what i call kashan

zangoo · 01-19-2008, 12:03 AM

you should have downloaded the patch thing for .6 that me and cas made, 4km view distance for kashan, night kashan, the jdam that i made, the planes that are in .7 were in the patch befor .7, testing jonnys guns, ect. we are working on things for .7, we should have a patch out for .7 soon.

but kashan looks great with 4km view distance but 2km view distance is about as much as you would ever need.

I think battle of qinling should get the view distance increased a bit :S
