Invisible Docking Ring?
Does anyone here know how to make a docking ring invisible? That way it would actually look like you are going into the planet.
load up solararch.ini, find the docking ring entry, and change the LOD line to this:
LODranges=0, 1
this tells the game to only draw the dockring if the camera is within 1 meter of it. Now, this means, of course, that if the camera somehow gets that close, you'll see it.
Another option,somewhat more advanced, is to edit the 3db file that it refers to, removing everything but the hardpoints needed for docking and such.
yet a third option, not at all for the faint of heart, is to remove dockrings entirely, as has been done with some P.O.C. mods before.
So, depending on your modding skill, and willingness to risk utter disaster, there are several choices on ways to do that.
