Hey guys,

 

I am looking to increase the initial draw distance of monsters and players. Right now, it looks something like this:

 

http://prntscr.com/1u067gu

 

There is a whole lot of monsters behind the ones currently drawn. Is there a way to increase my draw distance?

I have tried the usual suggestions I have found on the MXC forums.

 

L2.ini's

 

[CharacterDisplay]
Name=true
Dist=5000

 

only seems to remember the ones I have already walked past over a distance of 5000. I am looking to increase the initial draw distance before I actually get close to the monsters.

 

I have also tried increasing the numbers at

 

[ClippingRange]
PawnMax=8.0
PawnMin=7.0
AntiPortal=1.5
Terrain=8.0
StaticMesh=4.0
Projector=2.0
StaticMeshLod=5.0
Pawn=8.0
Actor=8.0

 

These do not seem to do anything.

 

Tried to do the same in options.ini

 

[ClippingRange]
Terrain=8.000000
Actor=6.000000
StaticMesh=4.000000
StaticMeshLod=6.000000
Pawn=6.000000

 

These also didn't help.

This should be something that is editable client side, right?

 

Any ideas?

Well... this is some old 2011 default L2j Freya stuff. Got it waaaaay back in the day. I don't even have the source, I am only working with the pack because I have put so many hours into it.

@HyperBlownSo you're saying this is java related and not client side?

Can be yes. Ive done a few jobs related to view distance for some clients. When having X players near, limite vision range to, E.G 500 to minimize lag. This is related to Knownlist, addVisibleObject depending of your source.

Alright, thanks a lot for answering. I was looking for an easy fix, but java is off-limits due to me not having the source. Also this is just some server I've been working on to live out my creativity.

 

Have a nice day.

    • First, don't really follow the "main voice", moreover if you consider it an hobby. Simply do what you want, you got only one life so use it as you want. If you make it an hobby, it's exactly like piano, or velo - only practice makes you better.   Secondly, how do you learn things ? It's actually a really important question, since some can simply be scholar, read books (theory) then practice ; and some simply can't read books. I'm the second type, I hated school, I find it boring - my knowledge in Java comes from try-and-fail. You improve your coding style every year or so, I can myself rewrite my own code (which I already considered top-notched) after a while. You always learn something new - even if Java barely evolves. L2J is a fun way to learn programming, it's a giant sandbox where you can edit anything, and I believe it should be taken as it.   My own way of learning was as follow : Add existing customs, no matter what they are : the point is to know main classes used by L2J / customs. L2J is barely Java knowledge ; the true knowledge is to know WHAT to search in WHICH location (what I call, organization). You have to understand than EVERYTHING you think already exists, in a form on another, in the source code. A custom is only the association of the different mechanisms you found "here and there", glued together in a proper goal. Once you know main classes to edit, and the customs you added are compiling fine, the main point is to know WHAT exactly you DID. Try to understand WHY and WHERE you actually copied the code. Third point would be to MANIPULATE the customs you added in order to fit your wish. First edit little values, then logic conditions ; eventually add a new Config, or a new functionality to the custom. Fourth point would be to begin to craft your own ideas. Once again, EVERYTHING already exists, in a form or another. You want a cycled event ? You got Seven Signs main task as exemple. Npc ? Search any type of Npc and figure out what it does. Fifth point would be to understand Java - mostly containers (WHAT and WHERE to use them), variables types and main Java mechanisms (inheritance, static modifier, etc). You should also begin to cut your code into maintainable classes or methods. Java can actually run without optimization, but bigger your ideas, more optimized and well-thought it should be. It's direct saved time in the future, and you would thank yourself doing so. Main tips : ALWAYS use any type of versioning system - GIT or SVN. It allows to save your work, step by step and eventually revert back anytime you want if you terribly messed up. L2J is 80% organization knowledge, and 20% Java knowledge. Basically, if you know WHAT and WHERE to search, if you aren't dumb, it's easy to replicate and re-use things. Cherry on top is to use a already good coded pack to avoid copy-paste crap and get bad habits. Avoid any type of russian or brazilian packs, for exemple - their best ability is to leak someone's else code. Obviously you need some default sense of logic, but Java and programming in general help you to improve it.   Finally, most of your questions could be solved joining related Discord (at least for aCis, I can't speak for others) - from the moment your question was correctly asked (and you seemed to search for the answer). My community (and myself) welcomes newbies, but got some issues with noobies.   The simpliest is to try, fail and repeat until you succeed - it sounds stupid, but that's basically how life works.   PS : about Java ressources, before ChatGPT, it was mostly about stackoverflow website, and site like Baeldung's one. With ChatGPT and alike, you generally double-cross AI output to avoid fucked up answers. Also, care about AI, they are often hallucinating really hard, even today. They can give you complete wrong answer, you tell them they are wrong, and they say "indeed, I suck, sorry - here's a new fucked up answer". You shouldn't 100% rely over AI answer, even if that can give sometimes legit answers, full code or just skeletons of ideas.   PPS : I don't think there are reliable ressources regarding L2J itself, also most of the proposed code decays pretty fast if the source code is actually maintained (at least for aCis). Still, old coded customs for old aCis sources are actually a good beginner challenge to apply on latest source.
