I've heard that it is possible to change Renegade's draw distance.
How do you do that?

Hexedit game.exe.

Don't know where to start in that but yeah, you need to do that.

Causes lag. Any units seen past what the draw distance is set at for renegade usually lag up and freeze in position.

Simply because the game doesn't refresh other player locations very often at that far out.

It does not refresh them at all actually, as the server only sends updates for objects within your players view. The only time it would update them is if they were damaged, which is why shooting something a long way away will cause it to warp to a new location.

I suspect that could be fixed by also hex editing every location in the server which uses the 300 draw distance to use the new draw distance, but that would cause extra lag as it means there's more data for the server to send you... and good luck finding all the locations referring to the 300 draw distance.

Happens in APB if you scope with a sniper at extreme ranges Huh Not allowed to *lag* snipe on the server though Thumbs Up And its usually not a good idea to mess with draw distance.

Except you are the host Razz

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

I was talking about games running on an FDS with clients connecting, not LAN mode or client hosting.

Could some one give me an example what I would be hunting for in the hex editor to do this?

Sure, do note that this sample is for the most common no-cd.exe.

index.php?t=getfile&id=4364&private=0
index.php?t=getfile&id=4365&private=0
index.php?t=getfile&id=4366&private=0
index.php?t=getfile&id=4367&private=0
index.php?t=getfile&id=4368&private=0
