Artak 0 Posted July 3, 2005 Hey, It popped to my head that a nice new feature for OFP's server software would be to implement 'a thing' that automatically sets viewdistance to optimal for all connected players. 'The thing' would benchmark all the players in the begining of the mission loading, and set viewdistance to optimal according to the slowest connected computer. Naturally, you'd need to be able to enable and disable the feature, sense I can imagine some situations where it wouldn't be all that useful. Pharhaps it would be set up in the server config file, or it would be used as other admin commands ingame like #reassign forexample. #autodistance would toggle the automatic viewdistance setting 'thingy'. Disclaimer: As always, I'm terribly sorry if this has been suggested earlier, but as always, going through all topics/posts is impossible and a quick search came up nothing related.

meio_maluco 1 Posted July 3, 2005 i hope the view distance thingy disapears, a new engine should make it diferent. Realism means lots of view distance, ofp1 is a example that view distance realy sucks. Even with 5000m it sucks lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â it's not been suggested before, because it already is possible in OFP1, suprise! Â Â Possible yes, in the means of scripting it to each usermade mission individually. Not with a server startup parameter or command.. at least I'm not aware of it. Is this what you ment gandalf or have I really missed something and yet again made a fool out of myself?

gandalf the white 0 Posted July 3, 2005 nope, I indeed ment it per individual mission, pa-dam-tssj! A command for dedicated servers (unless those commands get introduced for client servers too) wouln't be too much of a luxury, yeh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
