Do you guys change the view distance fog on the battlemap??

**Richard** · September 23, 2007, 10:50 PM

I notice The Long Road has RTW level view distance, whereas vanilla and the Kingdoms campaigns only have limited distance before the terrain fogs out. Is there a setting you change that does this?

I don't like to double post, but does anyone know? I initially thought it was 1.2 patch, but I notice Kingdoms doesn't have the feature so I thought it might have been The Long Road.

It might depend on your computer specs, I have no fog on the battlefield... unless it is foggy weather, which is a totally different issue

No, it's only this mod that does it. By 'fog' I mean that you can't see from one side of the map to the other in vanilla. But in this you can, so I want to know what these guys changed

I do not know what you are talking about. Honestly.

Hi!

Maybe he is talking about the camera in a battle. I have such a thing sometimes, too. In some battles i am able to move the camera to the other side of the battlefield, but most of the time it depends on where my units are. I dunno if it has to do with the "line of sight" your general has or what else the limitation of your camera affects.
I use the limited camera option in the game settings (or what ever it is called in the english settings; i am using a german version

).

Draw distance. As in, the distance you can see far off terrain on the map before it fogs out.

It might be that TLR reset some of your video settings, Richard, in the process of combining your preferences to the mod.

That's just a highly improbably guess; but it's all I can think might do that.

Check your video settings and maybe reset them to what you want.

Solution is simple, did you uncheck the "restrict camera" box under game options?

**Richard** · December 11, 2007, 02:02 AM

That doesn't affect draw-distance though, just whether you can move the camera anywhere on the map as opposed to within a limited distance of your units.

What I'm talking about is being able to see, say, Rhodes or Cyprus from the mainland on a battle map. The draw distance; How far you can see, to put it another way.

This mod seems to increase it compared to vanilla. I'll post screens tomorrow.

Shot from TLR of the (forget the name) first map in the Custom Battles map list

This is the vanilla game shot of the same map with the same weather and time settings, looking at the same hill from the same spot (the opposite parallel corner of the map)

I have the same question. Somehow my draw distance is very short. I use a 8800 Gt maybe the engine does not see the card as a performance card and scale back the draw distance? Anyway to fix this?

The effect is that the engine does not drawing far away mountains it just uses one colored mountains, which looks pretty bad.
