View distance in MP

[c210 0]

How do I set this? Is it possible?

My view distance in SP is set to 2000m but in MP it uses a value far less than that. Bit annoying!

I think it might be something to do with network settings like LAN/CABLE/DSL but I cannot find where to change that.

Thanx

Some missions (like MFCTI) set the viewdistance to 1000m for fairplay, so that a guy with a lower end computer set his viewdistance to 1000m, while you with a really strong set it to 5000m, wich makes you see him way before he even knows you're there.

Thanx for the quick reply. I only play on my LAN at home. So there is no way, even missions you build yourself, to change this?!?

The pieces in brackets are optional,fiddle around with them. dunno how it has to be exactly.

Is there a way to set seperate viewdistances for each player? Ie, set 700 for ground troops and 2000 for pilots?

SetviewDistance xxxx (from 50 to 5000) in initialisation field of any unit

write that one time , no need to rewrite in other unit.

you can too exec a small script in mission starting.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

hint "Benchmark, please wait"

~1

? benchmark >= 4500 : Setviewdistance 1200 && hint "1200m, ahha small dick"

~1

? benchmark>= 5000 : setviewdistance 1500 && hint "1500m"

~1

? benchmark>= 5500 : setviewdistance 2000 && hint "2000m"

~1

? benchmark>= 6000 : setviewdistance 2500 && hint "2500m"

~1

? benchmark>= 6000 : setviewdistance 3000 && hint "3000m, omfg pownzor !!111"

~1

hint "benchmark finished , good game;o)"

~3

exit

write that in a .sqs file.

and add [] exec "nameoffile.sqs" in the initialisation of any unit

Yes, its possible.

init.sqs:

pilotgroup = group pilot1

tankgroup = group tankdriver1

setviewdistance 1000

? player in pilotgroup: setviewdistance 2000

? player in tankgroup: setviewdistance 1500

Exit

Good to know: the default view distance in a MP session is 900 m.
