Author Topic: Map View Distance  (Read 3068 times)

I hate the newly implemented map view distance.
Is there any command I can enter to increase the view distance on maps?
It's seriously beginning to piss me off.

That's my question.
How can I turn off the map view distance hindrance?

Maybe there's some kind of option in the options menu.  You get there by clicking "options".

I'm talking about the draw distance on the map itself. Not the bricks.
The maximum Draw Distance's "Maximum" setting isn't large enough.

Is there any way to bypass it? I know the older versions had a much
larger draw distance.

I would also like to bypass it.

I don't think so.

And my draw distance isn't small enough for some builds.

I don't think so.
I know for a fact that they did, because I used to play on the Planets map and I could see nearby planets.
Now I cannot.

I used to be able to see most of Manhatten in GSF NYC.
Now I see like, one block at a time.

I can see more than one block. Turn up your draw distance.

It's at maximum. and that was a bit of an exaggeration.
I can see like, 3-4 or whatever. But it's still ridiculous.

That's a problem i've asked for before. Now with v15 i cannot see from the ground the top of the Towers :( . That's why i have another blockland installed with v13 so i can see them perfectly. With v15 the max draw distance is 1000, and i need minimun 2000 (you can see that in options, now it says "max draw distance" instead of "draw distance" like the previous versions). I've tried with the mission editor, but increasing the value above 1000 does nothing.

It's been capped at 1000 for quite some time now for performance reasons.  The GSF maps and planets are both garbage.  I'm not really interested in "fixing" this right now.  Maybe at some point in the future when we've replaced the dif, terrain and water renderers.

I'm having trouble with a lower cap.

I can't figure out what you're talking about.  You're going to have to try harder here.
