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. |
