Hey, so I've got some trees in my map, and when I look at them from a distance, the terrain is visible, but the trees are not. This is an issue in visibility and realism in my map. So, I tried to fix it. I copied the models and renamed them yav_prop_leaftree2_lowrez.msh and yav_prop_leaftree3_lowrez.msh, but once I munged it, it didn't work. How can I make it not fade out...at all, if possible?

Map objects do not work like player models and if they did, it sounds like you didn't reference the "lowrez" MSHs in the ODFs. What you want to do here is accordingly adjust the values of NearSceneRange (preferably) and FarSceneRange in your .sky file under PC. For more information look here: Correctly using sky settings(BF1) (FAQ)

The tut doesn't say anything about NearSceneRange, and I just adjusted the FarSceneRange just right to set the fog settings to my liking, so if I mess with FarSceneRange it means messing up the fog too. Is there any other place I can look at to know what NearSceneRange does?

There are some useful bits of info there.

okay, I've had a similar problem, surprisingly my answer could be found in the optoins menu, go to video and set LOD Veiw to 80 or so. If it is already there you'll have to try somethinng else.

but this sounds almost exactly like my problem

i highly doubt that he lowered the LOD in the options menu before testing the trees

My LOD is set at 99.


*EDIT* K, I did what MercuryNoodles suggested, I read there, but the only bit of info discussing NearSceneRange is this:

psych0fred wrote:NearSceneRange(start min, start max, end min, end max) where the range between the two is controlled by the slider under video options.

I don't get it. Start min/max, end min/max what? I'm confused

Hopefully that clarifies things a little.

Fixed, thanks.
