MP Player View Distance

Wed Jan 25, 2006 12:02 pm by Arvis_Taljik

I know that in Multiplayer, people are only able to see other players in a system if they are within 5km of their position.

Is it at all possible in ANY way to increase this distance to say 15km. I'm making a mod that would require this kind of viewing distance and it would really suck if we could only see at a distance of 5km for PvP reasons.

Sorry as far as I know there isn't a way to increase it

Try changing the scanner "range" in the "misc_equip.ini" and see what happens.

That can't be true because all the ship sensors are set to 20km and players still only see eachother when they come within 5km of one another.

This issue may be something hard-coded into the EXE, which I don't have the slightest clue how to dig through. Hell, I'm getting to the point where I'll PAY the person who finds a way around this issue.

I fear your last statement just lowered your chance for someone to help you. Just my €0.02.
