is there any way that I could make the objects always as visible as if I was right next to them, because my buildings dissapear when i am too far away.

This is dependable on your farscenedistance in your sky file, fog settings in your sky file, and your graphics settings for view distance in game.

so by changing farscene range from 5,000 to 50,000 objects would not be out of view.

yes, and also if you had 0 fog, and your view distance setting in game was set to its max.

as in your in-game settings. Graphics, like screen res, texture detail, lighting, etc. Like in swbfII in Options.

I changed the settings in my sky file munged it and it made no difference in game.
here is my sky file:
here is my sky file:
Code: Select all
SkyInfo()
{
Enable(1);
FogColor(85,108,142,128);
PS2()
{
FogRange(0, 0);
NearSceneRange(0.5, 85.0, 100.0);
FarSceneRange(50000.0);
SplitOptions()
{
PropClusterEnable(1);
PropClusterFadeAdj(0.6);
PropClusterDensity(0.1);
}
}
XBOX()
{
FogRange(-200.0, 1300.0);
NearSceneRange(0.5, 85.0, 100.0);
FarSceneRange(30000.0);
NearSplitScreenRange(0.2, 110.0, 160.0);
FarSplitScreenRange(0.0);
SplitOptions()
{
FogRange(5.0, 140.0);
PropClusterEnable(0);
}
}
PC()
{
NearSceneRange(30.0, 160.0, 40.0, 200.0);
FarSceneRange(5000.0, 500000.0);
FarSceneRange(50000.0);
FogRange(-100.0, 600.0);
}
}
DomeInfo()
{
Texture("sky_yav2");
Angle(-90.000000);
Ambient(255.000000, 255.000000, 255.000000);
Filter(1);
Threshold(150);
Intensity(50);
Softness(1);
SoftnessParam(60);
DomeModel()
{
Geometry("sky_yav2");
}

Try putting a 0 where the 1 is in the Enable(1) right at the top of the file.

Change it to this:elfie wrote: PC()
{
NearSceneRange(30.0, 160.0, 40.0, 200.0);
FarSceneRange(5000.0, 500000.0);
FarSceneRange(50000.0);
FogRange(-100.0, 600.0);
}
Code: Select all
PC()
{
NearSceneRange([color=#00FF00]90.0, 250.0, 120.0, 300.0[/color]);
FarSceneRange(5000[color=#00FF00]0[/color].0, 500000.0);
FarSceneRange(50000.0);
FogRange(-100.0, 600.0);
}What has also worked for me is bumping up the near scene values. Try it and see what happens.

Bumping up the last NearSceneDistance value will do the trick, I dunno what the other 3 values do.

Neither do I, but I always just do it.

EDIT: It changed it a little (I think) but I still need it to be closer. Should I do a manual clean or something, because already this has caused me a lot of grief!
