making tradelane rings visible from a longer distance?

Sat Apr 10, 2004 4:12 pm by Preacher0815

Everybody knows what LODRanges is/are for. I'm looking for something similar: making the tradelane rings visible from a longer distance.

Since there is no such a thing like LODRanges listed with the tradelane objects, I'm wondering what might be the responsible command for displaying tradelane rings from a longer distance. Any clues?

solararch.ini:

[Solar
nickname = Trade_Lane_Ring
DA_archetype = solar\dockable\TLR_lod.3db
material_library = solar\Solar_mat_TLR.mat
material_library = fx\envmapbasic.mat
envmap_material = envmapbasic
LODranges = 0, 1500, 2200, 3000, 13000
ids_name = 60245
ids_info = 60246
type = TRADELANE_RING
mass = 10000.000000
loadout = Trade_Lane_Ring
solar_radius = 300
shape_name = NAV_tradelanering
shield_link = TLR_shield01, HpMount, HpShield01
hit_pts = 999999961690316250000000000000000000.000000

I leave it to u to "find" the LOD entries

Sorry, confused this with a part of another project I'm working on. Silly me

Of course there is some LODRanges stuff available to tradelane rings, but changing its values will do exactly nothing. I already changed all of the LODRanges values to higher numbers (and no, I didn't overlook something). It works for ships, stations, dockrings and so on, but in no way can I get different results with tradelane rings viewing distances.
