Object drawing distance tweak

Recommended Posts

Test with very low view distance (500-1500m) and focus on object popping in.

You can see it very well in the videos.

Well-i just want to thank you Kju!!!

-tested this addon yesterday with some mates @ Sahrani. For the others and me it was a whole new gaming-experience (especially for our jet pilot;) )to see the target buildings by a distance of 2000 meters.

We recognized a small lag, e.g. if you fly over the northern part of Sahrani (the map with the buildings have to load up for a moment i think). But after that it runs just perfect.

Many Thanks for this great work!!!

Keep it up!

No, not in "missions". Create a Folder in your ArmA2 Main-dir, name it f.e. "@Proper", crate a subfolder called "Addons" and put the .pbo-files in this Addon-folder. Now add -mod=@Proper to your ArmA2.exe shortcut.

Nice, doesn't have much impact on my system. Looks far better beeing able to actually see an object far away than not having it drawn at all.

Yeah. It makes distance buildings ect visable at longer ranges.. I couldnt see any difference.. Changing the distance slider has a huge effect on when objects are drawn but i couldnt see anything different with your mod. mabey i installed it wrong. how exactly do i get it running??

Ah, solved it. Thx

I used the 'save target as' on the download links on the main page. It saves a .pbo file of around 6kb so I thought I had it. But if I left click on the links it takes you to a new page for download... odd :)

Hello all,

joined your community just a couple of days ago (hadnt heard of arma2 for some reason but loved OFP) and am already overwhelmed by the mass of support, addons, tweaks and most of all maturity and kindness of this community :D Its great.

[/brown nose]

Had the same issue as overdawg with the files but its working fine now and I love it.

Especially since A2 runs so smooth with kju's low plants/buildings... Sincerest THANK YOU man. Am advising all my friends who joined my A2 craze to get it as most of us play on older machines.

Cheers guys,

-keen

EDIT just patched to 1.04 to get into online gaming. first I tested other stuff and the view distance mod didnt work anymore ... thoughts ??

Objects detail is normal. View distance is 3600

I dl'ed both from dev haven. It appears the low visuals still work (got used to them and see no difference now)

Draw distance definately does NOT work and I dl'ed them again beforehand...

Draw Distance i just tested. I can see a tank at 3000 meters. So that would make it work no? Or did i miss something?

Strange... I guess thats affirmative... hm. Modfolder is loaded... settings are as stated above.. maybe objects need to be on high? Tank pops up at apprx. 1000 meters :(

No you are correct my friend. Sorry i was running the old version...

Just deleted my old one and replaced with the new and you are correct - i cant see the tanks even at 2800 meters, and my game lags a bit now. (only thing changed was to the latest object drawdistance - but another test and no lag. No idea what that was. But it seems it isnt this addon. Draw distance is shorter than previous version remains though).

EDIT: And no you are not needed to run Objects at HIGH. I ran this addon on NORMAL and could see tanks etc at 3KM.

EDIT2: Houses arent drawn either. Cant see houses etc in the mist as with the previous version.

EDIT3: Can anyone with the previous (first) version of this addon upload it somewhere? Would be greatly appreciated. (The old version was not signed) (Kju fixed new version).

One building seems to work: IMAGE

Kju?

Yes some buildings are always drawn at long distance, like the castle. This is what enabled kju to make the mod in the first place.

So you suggest the old version will still work ?
