Thanks to Silent Kane and his coding knowledge, we've extended the viewing distance of the game to 600 meters.

In reality, it can be anything we want it to be. 1,200, 6,000, doesn't really matter - we're keeping it at 600 meters as a compromise between needing to put up fog everywhere and framerate issues. So you'll see less fog and more game, with a 10% FPS hit, at most, on a non-visibility-solved level. I'd say it's worth it.

You'd be seeing half the distance of this screenshot if we kept it at the old distance settings.

Finally Artillery can be used as indirect fire weapons from a safe distance.

Very nice. Now we can see enemies coming away from farther away.

P.S: Is that Ridge War?

I guess this means that snipers will gain in another advantage. Confused

Have you played RA yet?

Snipers have 80 points of health, no armor... They have 50 rounds in their inventory. Each time they fire, they reload a bullet into the chamber. They don't damage vehicles. They take two or three (depending on the soldier) body shots to kill, one head shot to kill.

They don't have many advantages beyond long range.

By about 10%. So if you normally get 10 FPS, you will get 9 or 8 instead.

I know that this is off the topic, but why Does no one ever play RenAlert on gamespy?

RenAlert has no GSA support at the moment,

I think the problem is how gsa opens "C:\westwood\renegade\game.exe", but we need it to open "C:\westwood\renalert\game.exe" (or whatever dir you chose, you get it).

If and when RA gets GSA support, it will have it's own lobby. Smile

And when is that going to happen? I can't wait to try this mod on multiplayer... it is going to kick ass.
Will the renalert team have to pay for their mod lobby?

Seeing that the average computer has improved in speed since Renegade was developed/released, this sounds good to me.
