Increase the "View distance"? Created 11 years ago2013-08-25 16:56:19 UTC by Alberto309

Heya, guys!

I'm making a new open map for HLDM, and I was wondering if it's possible to increase the maximum viewable distance in-game. Because seeing your map fading through the skybox isn't a cool thing... :

Thank you in advance!

P.S.: I already searched for tutorials, but I wasn't able to find one for this issue. And also, I'm sorry if a similar thread already exist: if yes, please head me to the original one and feel free to delete this one. Thanks a lot.

You can do this in Hammer. Goto menu Map --> Map properties. Find the Max viewable distance property and chance its value.

Or in the front end compiler. I think any value will work, but 8192 is proven to work 100%.

Hey Atom! Really? I've already tried to change this option long time time ago, but it didn't work. Or that's because I was using WON HL maybe? Now I'm using the Steam one btw. I give it a try! Thank you for the help, Atom.

P.S.: I've tried your compiler: Amazing! Much more easier than the VHE basic compiler! Thank you!

Hey Stojke! Mmmh... 8192 you say. Is this the maximum supported value?
And also: did increasing the distance will lower the performance? Did this "fading effect" work as a VIS blocker or something? In this case, I only need a few units more space before the fading effect starts, I don't think I need "8192". But thank you for the help guys, I'm gonna try this immediately!
