Visibilty

[Tankbuster 1747]

Gang,

When I'm messing with my MP missions in editor preview, I can see for a long distance. For example, from the little island north west of Malden, the mainland can clearly be seen.

However, when I export the mission to MP and test it with freinds, the visibilty is great reduced.

Any clues gratefully recieved.

yes. in sp (also editor) - IF - you didnt set the viewdistance in the map itself via scripts, you have the viewdistance set in your graphics options.

in order to set the viewdistance in a map, create a file called init.sqs (plain text file) and add this at the beginning:

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

VALUE is a number between 500 and 500, so like

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">setViewDistance 1500

same for Terrain Detail (setTerrainGrid) - use the search or the BIKI for further info)
