Expand the view distance?

[K3zX 4]

Hi,

I would like to expand the view distance, because we are not living in 2004 anymore, and all we have a stronger computer than a P4.

I tried it in the PythonApplication.cpp to force m_pyBackground.SetViewDistanceSet(0, 75600.0f);

The object are visible now in the far, but the ground not.

Any idea to get it fully functional?

That's actually a good idea.

i'm trying to expand, but with no luck.

If i lower the object's distance, the ground will be lowered too, but in the opposite way, it don't. (as you can see on picture)

 

i'm sure there are several C++ experts here, really doesn't intrested in this modification? (Or they did it yet, just don't want to tell )

you can change view distance in map folder(ex: metin2_map_c1) in setting.txt

change ViewRadius    128 to ViewRadius    256 (max 256) any idea for developing view distance ?

No, just try it. Nothing will change. It's a dummy. (If something changes, that's just the fog)

That happens because engine only loads terrain close to you. You would have to make some source changes to load whole map at once and display it to player but that may cause some performance issues.

The view distance only modifies the range for the broadcast packet (I mean with larger viewdistance you will see more players). For the terrain you will need something like this:

I made this about a year ago and I wanted to release it a few times before, maybe I will do it sometimes soon, but the best solution for this if it would be disabled by default, and players would have the option to turn it on, cus the "engine" itself can't render much objects, so on low spec pcs it would be an instakill. However, while I was testing it the only mentionable difference I found was with the shadows, if I disabled it the performance was near the same, but I never had the chance to test it on a live server with large amount of players/shops.

It'll be good. i'm sure a full render would be laggy, but just a twice distance should be okey. Hope you'll release it
