Fog settings / Tweaking maps

Post by TAW_pinx »

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to perfect Citadel, but not sure on fog settings, can someone suggest what I should set them at for it? Possibly a screenie to show me the best way to do it?

Also, a second question...I'm making another map, that is quite a bit bigger and resource heavy. Does anyone have suggestions for Near/Far scene range and if so, would this make the map run better on a slower PC? I want to ensure that my end result doesn't run like Yavin Temple/Endor/Hoth for those with slower processor speed. I'm open to suggestion, so if near/far scene range isn't what I should be looking at, please share opinion.

Thanks!

The difference between the last 'Near scene' and first 'far scene' should be no bigger then around 50 to ensure low lag. Id just keep the max near and far scenes at default.

Copy over the ambient and fog settings from the bf1 sky file into the relevant parts in the bf2 sky file and zeroeditor

Doesn't this setting in the mod map just define what the scale is for the client machine to be able to set in-game?

Would a visibility range of 10000 be good to get rid of objects popping up out of nowhere? I've kept the near and far ratios the same. 4099 and 5002 I believe.
