Increase Detail Model Distance? (reclaim/trees/decals/etc)

[rambouillet]

Is there a way to maximize the detail model distance in a game, such that you can see every little piece of reclaim and unit even when being all the way zoomed out on the map?

Right now wreckages, foliage, and decals completely disappear once you are only slightly zoomed out. I would like to disable this completely...I think I have a strong enough video card to handle it

Even maxing out the in-game video settings still will not allow you to see all the detail on a map from afar.

try out the UI mods : Better LOD v1 or Better LOD EXTREME v1.
I don't know if it is worth it though.

Can I play with UI mods in ranked games?

[keyser]

yes, that's what they are made for

good mods, but on some maps the mods are buggy

mesmerising paradise for example

as far as i know they're not UI, are they?

[keyser]

they are

Be warned: even with a beast PC it can be a huge dent in performance. I had to delete the mod and I'm running a 1070++5690k ; (

It did help with keeping zoomed-out, tho. Hopefully you have better results.

the issue i found with it that made me turn it off is that you can see things like rocks on the map, but if you are not zoomed in enough the reclaim button doesnt appear so you end up clicking on trees a lot only to have move orders (

but it was a nice mod still

There is a more or less secret auto-lod-calculation inside the Black Ops Unleashed mod.

I added there a automatic LOD setting routine (Viewdistance by unit/Building Size).
Its also only using highres textures/models for units/buildings if you zoom out.

You could test Black Ops Unleashed and see if those lod settings fit your needs.
