[Pizdzius]

<jawdrop>
:eek:
my PC would crash xD

[Ale_1987]

amazing pictures

[daresbalat]

Thats ace. How long did it take to draw each frame? :D


Image if you could see enemy that far too...

[tak]

press F11 to get the console, then /vg_camera_far_plane iirc.
<TAB> will autocomplete.
You can set it as high as you like, but around 4000 the effect does not increase anymore.
Too bad the wireframe mode doesn't work anymore...

[Froste]

Wow, nice!

[Boger]

i luuv the pic where u can see pines and samal <3 ^^

EDIT:

ooww and even herb is there 2 :D

[jacek]

1. Turn off the fog, so the view is clear
/vg_enable_fog 0
2. Set the view distance
/vg_camera_far_plane 2500
3. Increase the radius, where the terrain loads
/cl_terrain_load_radius x
The default number here is 3.
If you set this variable too high, the game will crash, so I keep increasing it until the game crashes, and next time i run the game, i know the maximum value. I found that this maximum value does not depend on your hardware, but it depends on the spot where your character is standing. Maybe it crashes when trying to load a terrain that does not exist (is out of the map) ?

4. After the terrain loads, make it more detailed
/vg_terrain_lod 0
5. Load objects like trees, rocks, forts
/cl_mapobject_load_radius x
Set this variable equal to /cl_terrain_load_radius

Enjoy the view :)

[LuthienNenharma]

this looks awesome!

[Angelwinged_Devil]

*drolls* can't wait till I buy a new computer, but there's a way to set how far z x and y axis shal be drawn :p the z is very important (vertical)

[-Edge-]

hmm ill try it now lol, looks great, I wanna get a view of the middle island.

[LuthienNenharma]

I wanna get a view of the middle island.

I uploaded the screen with all three forts to my hosting site so it would display full size here.

[Miraculix]

[Torg_Snowflake]

Now that's a major insult. XD

[GIGO305]

Now that's a major insult. XD


its just SOOO danm cool!!! i fream of an RO where we clan play with this high ass quality and see far ass hell!!!!

Epic revival.

Ive been messing around a bit with the game.cfg file and got my view distance much higher. http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo238/100PercentRatedR/screenshot2009-04-0617_35_39.jpg

But I can't seem to work around a way to get zoom out increased tho :S

[Envy]

Looks nice, could you get a screen from Limite looking in the direction of Syrtis?

Oh and level up you pt

1. Can you use it to see enemies from far distance?
2. How did you do it?

1.) No that would be cheating and unfair, its nothing more than enhancing the landscape.

2.) You can edit your game.cfg file in the Regnum Online and Live Server folders,

[video_graphics]

vg_anisotropic_filter=16
vg_antialiasing=4
vg_camera_far_plane=500
vg_cluster_object_enabled = 1
vg_cluster_object_factor = 100
vg_detail_level = 1
vg_enable_fog = 1
vg_enable_local_lighting = 1
vg_enable_particle_fx = 1
vg_enable_weather_fx = 1
vg_fullscreen_mode=1
vg_game_render_mode=glow
vg_gamma = 10.000000
vg_lod_distance = 20
vg_renderizer = direct3d9
vg_screen_bpp = 16
vg_screen_height = 800
vg_screen_width = 1280
vg_screenshot_format = jpg
vg_terrain_texture_quality = 1
vg_texture_lod = 0
vg_trilinear_filtering = 0
vg_vertical_sync = 0
vg_water_lod = 2
cl_terrain_load_radius=3
vg_force_safe_mode=0
vg_gl_use_advanced_fb_extensions=0
You can change the camera far plane to a higher value, (4000 is really the max) it does not cause lag for me, but if you have anisotropics and antaliasing high you will get slower gameplay as you will be loading detail for things much farther away, like animated grass blowing in the wind for instance. (And in the next update trees and banners)

If you do change it you just need to remember to change both the Live Server and Regnum Online cfg files.

I lost my interest about there ^
Heh, i wanted to see goats leaving their realm from samal fort.
Oh well, nice for taking screens tho

[DerSeher]

(4000 is really the max)

I can not set it higher than 500 oO Regnum overwrites every higher value with 500.
Where is the banality I've forgotten? :superpusso:

Try making the cfg files Read-Only.

[DerSeher]

I've tried that already, because of that I could disable the fog :dumbofme:

Disabling the fog gives me black textures for water and armour. :S

[Seher]

Ah I got it, cl_terrain_load_radius is twice there in game.cfg lol


(<--- my gamigo account :))

edit: woow, 3 fps xD
