Asteroid field drawing distance

Nova

Done, thanks. But it doesn’t work. A wrote 1e+3 but i still can see my field only very close.

Gisteron

because 1e+3=1 xD

So what i should write to increase it? I wrote 9,99 now but i see no changes

before you say “captain obvious” again try this, if the question was to get asteroids/belts visible from higher distance:

[AsteroidBillboards]
count = 400
start_dist = 1100 –-> add bigger numbers
fade_dist_percent = 0.500000
shape = asteroid_planet_frag
color_shift = 1, 1, 1
ambient_intensity = 1
size = 40, 110

same thing with [Band]

Thanks! Which file is it?

in data/solars/asteroids, and your asteroid .ini file

Nah. IN YOUR asteroid ini file. If you made one it must be appeared in this folder. Make one rename it, and open that.

Nova

Ok i done it, thanks so much to all.

It is my field lol.

Ok, my bad, i had different type of asteroid ini

You can change the draw distances in the field’s ini file:
