Expand GMod Render Distance - Help

Hi all, I've noticed that there isn't an option in the settings to expand draw distance in GMod. Do I need to download a mod? Or is there a cvar for this? Thanks, Shane.

It is usually decided by the map, but there is a cvar to change this. If you're playing singleplayer, try changing the draw distance using r_farz, which is marked as cheat, so you have to change sv_cheats to 1. Regarding r_farz, set it to 0 for infinite, and anything past it is measured in hammer units from what I assume. Players are 72 hammer units high and 32 hammer units wide and long. See [URL="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Hammer_Unit"]this page[/URL] for more information about the units and how they're measured.

It works in some maps, but for maps like evocity it just does nothing. Is there a way to change the distance of that particular map?

[QUOTE=code_gs;49096739]You can adjust it in Hammer if you have the map source using the fog distance.[/QUOTE] No need to do that.. fog_override 1 find fog_

[QUOTE=xaviergmail;49099613]No need to do that.. fog_override 1 find fog_[/QUOTE] Except that requires sv_cheats.

His options vary depending on if it is his server, random server or singleplayer

It's not a slow fade. At a certain distance, the map just.. [I]stops.[/I]

To adjust render distance, its r_farz. -1 is infinite, which is already the default value. However some maps may override render distance (Not fog), which I'm guessing this is your case. Nothing u can do about this unless u go into hammer and edit the map itself, like code_gs said.
