v1.5 Video Please don't ask me for my permission to do whatever you want with whatever I have created, I really don't care. You want to upload it to steam workshop, go ahead and do it, want to include it in a community pack? full send, want to maintain? Knock yourself out. I dropped out of the arma scene a very long time ago and I really don't care what is done with my stuff, I don't even care if I am credited, just do what you want. I am just putting this here for the few that respect the creative work of others, I don't want to waste your time of being considerate and asking because odds are I will never see it or respond. I randomly remembered that ARMA existed and figured this was appropriate.
ADDON VERSION:
TAW View Distance Script (Addon Version)
Description:
This is something that was lacking for ARMA 3 (Alpha). So I have created a simple to use View Distance & Grass Settings Dialog to allow players to adjust their view distance levels. There are three types of view distance levels.
- On foot: View distance set will only effect a player while they're on foot.
- In Car: View distance set will only effect a player when they're in a land vehicle or ship.
- In Air: View distance set will only effect a player when they're in an aircraft.
- Drone: View distance while operating a UGV/UAV.
- Multiple Saves for various settings
And it also features 4 grass settings (None/Low/Normal/High).
Notes:
Example mission provided
To disable the grass Option 'None' place:
tawvd_disablenone = true;
To set a maximum allowed viewing distance you can put the following in your init.sqf:
tawvd_maxRange = 12000;
ACE3 Interaction Menu:
If you want the menu to be accessed through the ACE3 Self Interaction menu instead of an addaction like the addon version use this fn_stateTracker.fsm: http://tonic.pw/a3/fn_stateTracker.rar
Will be included in versions greater then v1.5 NOW INCLUDED IN 1.6 Github: https://github.com/Tonnilson/view-distance-settings
Installation:
First drag the taw_vd folder into your mission and then in the description.ext put: #include "taw_vd\GUI.h" class CfgFunctions { #include "taw_vd\CfgFunctions.hpp" }; If CfgFunctions already exists then put #include "taw_vd\CfgFunctions.hpp" in it.
