When my camera is at a angle the model changes to it's LOD (this happens to all models) here is a small example:

It'd be nice if there was an option to disable LOD. Most people by now can handle it, anyways...

It'd be nice if there wasn't. Things like VIS and LOD are definately needed to keep a good gameplay experience.

I disagree. We're talking about an option to disable them here. Most Ren models are low poly enough even at their highest LOD that most computers these days should have no problems with them.

The reason is the mappers don't hook up LOD...

Renegade resets the lighing mode to Vertex Lighting and the texture filter mode to Bilinear whenever it crashes. You might have crashed, so you need to reset the settings.

Surprised I don't hack this game to bits and I could tell you for certain it is the WWconfig.exe to change those settings! Razz

Vis is important, but I would much rather have all models running at their full poly level at all times, I didn't buy a new computer because I still like to see Renegade fall graphics fall the craptastic every time there are more then 10,000 polys on the screen (or what ever it is). There should be an option if you guys are going to make an anti cheat that will force people playing with models that have had their LOD ripped from them be unable to join the server.

It's up to the server owners to allow these mods then.

if u don't think so just export the keys or remember the numbers. (make back up)
@madrackz i don't really know but it works Very Happy if u set it to 0 it will only use the model's LOD, if a high number it won't use LOD

Try checking the value again after you run Renegade, I am pretty certain it just resets it back to the same value it was before and ignores your change...
