Draw Distance

[Guest]

There is a mod that gives you 10x draw distance than regular but it doesn't seem to work with MTA. Is it possible for the client to not check that file?

Well the MTA client doesnt let anything to be editable so not at this point. Maybe they can do it.

It could be said that it gives you an unfair advantage to see further than other people. Ideally, we want everyone playing identical games, so I doubt we'll allow this. The only way we would allow it would be if servers could control it.

This is true, but this could be already like this. The player selects there Draw Distnce themselves, usually depending on their compr. So, it really wouldnt be that bad, anyone can download it.

I agree with what you're all saying. It could be an unfair advantage. However, there are two things I could say against that. There already is built-in draw distance that does affect performance if your machine can't handle it. Those people have the same problem with just the built-in one. The second thing is that it looks soooooo good. I think the setting choice made available or server side setting would be good. I know upping it by default would make the user base a little smaller but I only have a 6600GT with a 3700+ and it works great in SP with that draw distance mod. Time for an upgrade the rest of you!

Thats kind of what I said.
