TAW View Distance Script (Addon Version)

[Moon_chilD 200]

Hey, is it only more doesn't the save function work at all?

I save my settings, but when I come back the settings are reset and when I go to Saves, my saves are gone!

Hi Tonic.

There is an issue with boats.

You can't change the view distance when inside a boat.

Hey, I have small problem atm. We started using this mod now and we want to use it together with ACE. The problem is, while the mod is basically working, it always resets it when rejoining a server. It always sets everything to 1000. Also the saves do not work. If I save a configuration its just gone when I rejoin (or restart...not sure at the moment)

 

Does that have something to do with the n_stateTracker.fsm (Which we don'T have atm)? If yes, how do I use that file? Do I put it in my mission or what? :3

Note that there are some issues with respawning players, the first one being related to the ACE3 compatibility feature - the action menu item is added after respawn. This seems to be because the code doesn't check for ACE on respawn (when removing action from the old body & adding it to the new one), the following fixes it:

The second is trying to set view distances when TAW is supposed to be disabled (tawvd_addon_disable = true;), causing script errors on undefined variables. The following is really a hack as it should be solved using the state machine, I just didn't want to install the FSM editor, so I hacked it up in a notepad:

(Using pastebin instead of code tags here as these forums don't support syntax highlight for diffs.)

Please update this for the new ArmA 3 Update It really helps get the best frames

It works perfectly ... what is wrong ?

[sammael 366]

HOw can I set to load by default in game my save file with settings ? 

Maybe it possible in script version?

[sammael 366]

awesome mod. But sadly I can`t confugure it to load settings by default

This has been updated recently, is there any reason for versioning the keys of a mod which adds nothing but client side changes? There is now a need to automate the update of the keys for this mod to allow for players to join while I'm away or working and unable to connect to the server to push keys.

 

It makes sense for mods to be version signed if they add something that can impact a lot of different players, but it just seems like everybody is versioning their key for no reason.

It sounds great.

 

Do you have a plan to upload it to Wrokshop?

[michy_REV19 2]

 

It seems that someone (who isn't you) has uploaded.

Can someone please screenshot what this should look like in the ACE self-interact menu? I can't seem to locate it

That addon is spamming the .rpt with:

 

12:10:30 File \ton\taw\viewDistance_TAW\Functions\fn_updateViewDistance.sqf [T..., line 76
12:10:30 Error in expression <ncObject) then {
setObjectViewDistance [_dist,100];
tawvd_object = _dist;
};>
12:10:30   Error position: <_dist,100];
tawvd_object = _dist;
};>
12:10:30   Error Undefined variable in expression: _dist

On Clafghan - any ideas?

Hi late response,

 

Is it only on Clafghan? I don't see how a map can cause that error to spit out, is it all the time? Usually that error is only going to occur if loaded on the server or if the object player is null (i.e no player detected). I will add more checks in to prevent this. Transitioning from script to addon is weird so I forgot about some things.

If downloaded via my site, your browser might say the file may be dangerous, obviously it's not and I don't know why some browsers are doing that.

As usual please report any issues, each version gets limited testing to make sure it is in working order but I can't foresee every situation.

[G17_Doctor 1]

Thanks for your work, Tonic!

 

Will there be a script version of update v1.7 ? Or just the addon/@mod?

[tonic-_- 53]

The scripted version is fine as is, the changes for the addon version were needed just because it is an addon and will initialize without even loading into a traditional mission.

Is there a way to set maximum allowable view distance range only for infantry for example?

So can set the view distance to 5000 for air, but 2000 for infantry.
