draw distance

[Wes]

Is there a way to get bigger draw distance? Even the SAMP has bigger draw distance. With Sniper I can't snipe the area51 from one of the pillars, is there anyway I can modify it?

[TAPL]

This maybe can help

I don't really understand what to do with this. I want to increase the draw distance on EVERY OBJECT, so I want to have bigger draw distance in the whole game.

Go to Settings and go to Video tab, you'll see the Draw Distance bar, increase it to whatever amount you want.

Use https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/EngineSetModelLODDistance

This will probaby solve the problem.

If you need to increase draw distance for every object in the game, you need to use a loop to set the draw distance for every object in the game.

It's on full and I still can't see shit.

300 is maximum of distance units.

I force all my clients to load everything on 300 so the objects will be loaded at eagle speed.

I also like to go more then 300, pity it won't be supported. 10000!

I also put setfarclipdistance to 600 (gta san world) (normal is 400)

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetFarClipDistance

Farclipdistance can only de-increase the load distance from elements when you put the settings lower then 400, but it gives a nice overview.(nice for mapping) 600/800 is ok

I tried 20000 farclip it was laggy, but when I put 1000000 my gta started to crash

You can set the weather to crazy numbers (try one of these: 55, 56, 666, 1337, 69, 100, 101) and one of them have really good draw distances. I don't remember which one and I cannot test.

addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function ( ) 
        for i = 1, 10000 do 
            engineSetModelLODDistance ( i, 300 ) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
 addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",resourceRoot,function() 
    setFarClipDistance(5000) -- we adjust visibility range on 3000 metres 
end) 
  
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",resourceRoot,function() 
setFogDistance(5000) 
end) 
  

This is My Script, but even with this, this is how it looks like

And when I zoom with a sniper this is how the object looks like

[qaisjp]

Set the model lod to 1000, not 300.

[Wes]

Still the same... I mean it's a bit better now, But the textures doesn't load through the scopes of sniper, and I can barely see from KAC base to like the burger shot...

[qaisjp]

Increase model lod to 5000, will be laggy though.

[Wes]

It's on 5000 but nothing ... I really don't know what the hell is the problem. In SAMP I can see everything very well, but in MTA... Maybe there some kind of limitations in DayZ Mod ... I dont know, I'll ask them on their forums, but I hope there are some genius out there who can help me in this forum too.

[qaisjp]

It's not a DayZ limitation..

[IIYAMA]

Well it is a limitation and I also don't like it.

It makes my maps ugly.

[qaisjp]

Well then IIYAMA do something about it. Do some further research... go make some better models and make MTA better.. contribute!

[IIYAMA]

I will not contribute for something, I only like because I like scripting. I am also growing out of this.

[Wes]

Alright It's good now. I've installed a resource skybox when I started the server, and that reduced the distance...

[IIYAMA]

Same functions as we post here only without shader..............

You can set it to 200 and as long as you fly below the clouds, you can see the whole map

Do you realize that you bumped a 3 year old post? -.-

Idk how this bump system works, but I did not realize that. I realized, that the post was very old after I replied, though. Maybe this information was useful to someone else reading this thread.

Haha, no problem. Btw there's a function setFarClipDistance which lets you increase the draw distance.

Ou okay I will take a look at that, too ^^
