[MOD] Sations, Ships and Effects Draw Distances

Post by Mr.Freud »

Increases station modules, special effects and ships (masstraffic too. my personal preference: open your config file and set "trafficdensity" to 1 or higher for increased masstraffic, IMO it adds to immersiveness) LOD draw distances. Both "LOD" slider and "Effects" slider should be at max.

Performance hit depends on hardware (mainly CPU).

This mod doesn't increase view distances of asteroids. It's possible to make such mod, but even 2x increase has a big impact on performance.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: there is a bug in game which puts shadows on objects that are further than 200km and are in the center of the screen (to see it - move away from a station to 201km and center your screen at it. Then turn your ship so that the station is by the edge of your field of view). Without the mod it's not very noticeable, but since the mod increases draw distances - stations that are 200km> away from you will be covered in shadows completely. So it might be hard to see those stations against a dark background (deep space textures etc.). The bug is known to the DEVS and is on their list of long-term fixes.

Report any other bugs.

Thanks a lot!
You say:open your config file and set "trafficdensity" to 1 or higher for increased masstraffic......but where is the "config file"?
