distant objects

  • couldn't find anything on this subject... i found out that as you go further away from an object it becomes invisible. for example,i was at about 200k from a sun and few minutes later the sun's texture begins to shake and later the sun is completely invisible.same thing happened with a planet when going futher than 250k or something...


    so how is it possible to make objects visible from large distances ?

  • Hi


    I think it has something to do with Data\Constants.ini


    Section [CommConsts]


    try changing the "WALLA_MAX_DIST_ATTEN"


    I havent played with this yet but its on my list.

  • ok... i've read the "Exe Hacks" thread and using hexplorer and the info from there, i "think" i found the part in the Freelancer.exe file that needs to be edited... there is just one problem: what do i need to replace that value with? ( 00247448 )


    btw,thanks to everyone for the help

  • with a good hexeditor, you open up the value and replace the value, the editor should automatically place the new string in.

  • well,the thing is that i tried to replace the values but every time i did this, i ended up with an invisible planet after undocking...
