Ok, I have a couple questions about the .sky file .

1. What do each of the four numbers do in the NearSceneRange line???

2. What exactly does the FarSceneRange line do ???

Thank's .

A quick search at Psych0fred's page had a couple of good nuggets of information: http://www.secretsociety.com/forum/sear ... ge&x=0&y=0

you could look here too

Ok, I'm kinda confused. What is the difference between the first two lines and the last two lines of NearSceneRange???

And how do I set up that lowrez texture ???

Thank's .

What he is referring to is the view distance slider in the BF2 game options. Use this for an example: NearSceneRange(50.0, 220.0, 60.0, 300.0). If the slider is to the left,

Likewise, if the slider were to the right, you would replace 50 and 60 with 220 and 300 respectively in the above quote.

The low res he refers to aren't textures, they're models. If you'll notice in the assets, many mshs have low res models called [modelname]_lowres.msh, this is to what he is referring. You set up references to low res models in the ODF.

Ok, so I understand the different parameters . But, going off of the example you gave, what would you see between 0 and 50 meters??? and how do I get rid of that annoying white fog that shows up at a distance ???

To answer the obvious one, you see the high resolution models at 0-50 meters. The hi-res stuff are just the normal models you see whilst running about. The low-res models are made so something shows at a distance, but they're low poly to keep the system from becoming overburdened with rendering model detail you don't really see anyway.

Ok . But how do you get rid of that annoying white fog???
