View Distance isnt staying...

[ZarX]

Are there any other ways to set the view distance in the init.sqf besides:

 

setViewDistance 1700;

setTerrainGrid 20;

 

After restarts it sometimes doesn't go back to 1700 and it defaults to about 600 meters..

if (isServer) then{

setViewDistance 1700;

setTerrainGrid 20;

};

 

 

or something like that

There isn't a non if variable?

Why would you need a non if variable?

I used to have this same problem. I think the viewdistance isn't changing. It's the fog. I fixed this by installing a script that disables the fog. It has been eorking like a charm after that. I'm not at home now so I can't post the link but you should be able to find it on google.

Disabling Dynamic weather disables fog, or run a simple nofog script like this. (Im not the author, nor do i remember who made it)

setviewdistance 2450; //View Distance limit
bis_fog = 0;

setviewdistance 2500;   //View Distance limit
0 setovercast 0;
0 setrain 0;
//0 setfog 0;
0 setfog bis_fog;

[] spawn {
    _delay = 3;
    sleep 0.01;
    while {true} do {
        _delay  setovercast 0;
        _delay  setrain 0;
        _delay  setfog bis_fog;
        sleep _delay ;
    };
};

I dont run Dynamic Weather on my server, but when i did i noticed the view distance reset every time the weather changed.

 

 

There's many methods to change this, you could edit hiveext if you have it available for editing.

 

Or just add this to init.

setviewdistance 2450; //View Distance limit
bis_fog = 0;

Atm ive set the hiveext to 2500 and im running something that resembles made by Prominentalex that has the option to set your prefered view distance with a scroll menu.
