Thanks to Silent Kane and his coding knowledge, we've extended the viewing distance of the game to 600 meters.

In reality, it can be anything we want it to be. 1,200, 6,000, doesn't really matter - we're keeping it at 600 meters as a compromise between needing to put up fog everywhere and framerate issues. So you'll see less fog and more game, with a 10% FPS hit, at most, on a non-visibility-solved level. I'd say it's worth it.

You'd be seeing half the distance of this screenshot if we kept it at the old distance settings.

What you want to know? I'm willing to cooperate. Are you?

I know how edit the game in hex, but I don't know where to look for the viewing distance setting.

[EDIT]
...my bad...read something that answered my question. Razz

[EDIT]
Why don't both of you give information or files to someone like Crimson and have that someone send the files to the other way...that is if you are both scared that one is just going to keep information from the other and the trade doesn't go thru...other than that, just give a full trade of information. I know you both don't like eachother, but the trade is fair making both parties happy... Confused Razz Very Happy

I think you guys have just tackled what is perhaps the greatest limitation on the Renegade engine. Congratulations, and keep up the good work.

Because there is no actual Renegade community. Only a handfull of people who withhold information/images/models/code from everyone so that they can be highest on the mountain.

The mine limit in Renegade Alert will be somewhere around 50 mines.

Also, each type of vehicles will have it's own limit. Ex: tank limit - 8, aircraft limit - 8, boat limit - 8.

i can see the good things about this, but also i can see alot of bad.

making it a longer viewing distance, it make you see things sooner, like bots and such, and things on the map you shouldnt see. the best way i can put this is like on dam.

it just kinda ruins things, on SP maps, you will be able to "peck" off things before you run into them.

But there still is alot of good.

That's why it is for RenAlert only (at least for now).

Honestly, Seaman, if you can't find this, I have no clue how you dug up the other features you have found.

Wow, great job SR. Will you be implementing this into SS? It'd really help on defenses as some of the mountains are a little out of draw distance.

The buggy has an animation where the character changes positions sometimes.. it just needs to be moved over a little I'm guessing.

Well, the code says "300a" but I don't know if it's related to view distance.
Can you give a hint?

Here's your hint.

Data Type: 32 bit IEEE single

Hex Address:
2DBC0E-2DBC11

It's 8 hex digits, 00 00 96 43 = 300.00.

Ren Alert would be using 00 00 16 44 = 600.00 .

This is the info for a game.exe with the No CD patch, I don't have time to check the regular .exe, as I'm going out of town this week in a few minutes.
