Setting up Proxies and custom view ranges

[SuicidalManiac 0]

Found out proxies only seem to save you on the vertex and face count limits, not on the size limit for objects, problems still exist if bigger than 64x64 even with proxies.

In the process of learning proxies, I discovered they work on addons that I bundle up by themselves, but if I try to put them into visitor as a part of the island project the proxies do not show, any ideas why?

Also I would like the lake to be visible from the other side of my island, how do i set a custom view range for a single object, so it is visible over 4000km away or more?

Looks good up close and from one side.

But the other side shows a texture difference at the grid boundary, any way around this?

Any tutorials on these subjects would be welcomed.

Thanks in advance.
