Default No visibility from distance

Well, I have another newbie problem that need fixing so I can continue building. I have large areas where I can't see the walls from the distance and only appear if I get closer to them and the horizon appear in front of them instead of behind. I don't know the exact terminology you people use here and the barrier of the language is a problem to me, so I hope the images can help to explain myself correctly.





As I said, I'm a complete beginner, so I would appreciate if somebody could help me and explain it to me like I'm five years old.

It's normal, the distance is limited to 20 sectors in old engine.

If you are using TRNG, you can change that distance in the SCRIPT.txt in TIDE with that command

WorldFarView =

and set the view distance you want (in sector, so by default is 20)
Just simply write it in the [Option] section and compile your script using TIDE.


If you are using only de TR4 engine, I don't think there is a way to change that, but a thing you can do is using an Horizon object with black borders (like TR2/TR3 horizon objects) to have a "full black" view without any cliping of the boundary of the view.

In fact, there is another workaround solution for non-TRNG engines:
if you build something close in the view (like a big column), which is an obstacle to see anything too far.

Hi, Galleta!
I am happy you could solve it.
But please do not send another post in 2 minutes. This is called double-posting, and not appreciated here. Please use the Edit button instead in your previous post. Or wait till someone answers your first post.

Oh, I'm sorry. This forum is a bit weird to use, it's not very user friendly. I just wanted to answer to each one just below their post, not posting one after the other as I expected this forum worked like the others ones. My bad, I should have used the preview post button before.
