Asteroid field drawing distance
-
Hi yo. Asteroid field’s asteroids visible only where you are in the field, so you dont see the field while you dont enter it. How to force drawing distance? I didn’t found “LODranges” parameter in asteroids…
But i sure its possible cuz i saw it in one mod… -

common.dll 13DFDC 1.74f = multiplier for fill_dist in CmnAsteroid::CAsteroidField::near_field calculation, increase this to make FL render asteroid fields from greater distances ~w0dk4, OutCast
??
Hm… i dont have 1.74 at 13DFDC…

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, 110same thing with [Band]

Thanks! Which file is it?

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