I found the reason. For this problem, the parameter is responsible
"[DistanceLimits] DrawDistance = 1.8 // Original maximum value is 1.8". Explain what this parameter does?

This is used to Increase the distance limits (I think)

[Sheridan_I]

So urr, @ThirteenAG how would one go about increasing the speed the gunshot tracer effect plays (the flying yellow bullet particle) so it practically matches up with the original. I don't HATE it it's just disconcerting when the bullets hit faster than the particle haha. Thanks!!

Is it recommended to install the mod with the Open Limit Adjuster version which ships with the archive? Going by the "date modified", Limit Adjuster is the v1.5.7 from 2019, not 2015 like the latest Project2DFX v4.3 (SA).

• III.VC.SA.LimitAdjuster.asi
• III.VC.SA.LimitAdjuster.ini
• SALodLights.asi
• SALodLights.dat
• SALodLights.ini

[Marsi4eg]

No, you can use newer versions, just check your settings in the ini.

Greetings! 
I've been messing with SALODlights settings for a long time trying to increase draw distances while keeping the soft PS2 fade in\out. 

First you need to lower in-game Draw Distance setting to 0. BAM - you are good to go, soft ps2 fade of everything and you dont even need Project 2dfx, yey!

But most of the SALODlights distance settings can be increased to a certain limit a bit without damaging fades. But there is a problem.

I found that VegetationDrawDistance = 550.0 does a good job making trees draw further and not pop-in in front of your face and softly fade-in/out. That is the max limit, since 600 will make a lot of pop-ins. That setting made me pretty happy with what I got, making everything nice and foggy with soft fades. Beautiful! 

BUT that was until I started testing Las Venturas area. The problem is that small desert bushes and cactuses have a very small draw distance and will stop pop-in only if i set VegetationDrawDistance = 0.0 : ( That makes all trees draw right in front of your face like before. So basically you have a choice between further fading trees and fading bushes with cactuses.

 

SO the question:

Can VegetationDrawDistance setting be split into TREES and SMALL VEGETATION to have the opportunity to make draw distance of actual trees higher while keeping all other vegetation distance untouched? 

[LaDiDa]

Small vegetation fade in has always been broken on PC as far as I know, even vanilla.

Wasn't pep_legal working on something to do with draw distance of grass and vegetation? 

I remember seeing all his posts in one of The_Hero's threads seeking advice/help relating to draw distance ..

Well, I think people got used to cranking in game DD slider all the way up. But since anything higher than 0 gradually breaks all vegetation fades we used to think that they are just broken there no matter what, and however you configure SALODlights, with max ingame DD things will already be broken. Set it to 0 and without SALODlights there should be no pop-ins at all and it will look very close if not identical to PS2 behavior (despite some spots where grass or bushes seem just broken).

 

If you want to use SALODlights with that ^ condition - you can. But these 2 settings must be:

GenericObjectsDrawDistance = 1.0 (else will break fades of bushes)

VegetationDrawDistance = 0.0 (else <550 will break cactuses and desert bushes fades but trees will be OK, >550 will break all veg fades).

Other settings seem to have no negative effect here so they can be set to high values safely.

Hmmm, that is interesting. I remember that, but I thought he wanted to make some grass related mod or smth. But that can actually be some related stuff indeed. Thanks for the reminder!

But still I am curious what ThirteenAG thinks about possibility to split VegetationDrawDistance setting. That alone would help with these issues so much.

So I reached him out. And he is working on fantastic related things indeed. But he is having a very difficult time with it and lacks the help of advanced specialists badly. Some help from The Hero would help him a lot. So if some other advanced modders want to help (especially with rendering and memory management), pep_legal will be more than happy.

Interesting, you can actually do 8 out of 16 bars of drawdistance before the small vegetation fade-in breaks (so no need to go absolute 0), the effect though is pretty jarring with some other objects fading in very close to the camera.

You are right, but even on 8 there are sometimes pop-ins happen. I didnt have enough time to test every amount of bars so I just went with the very safe 0. But yeah, going to 8 will increase overall DD without breaking things too hard.
