Screenshot Problem.....

[-Archmage-]

When I zoom way out in GAE the whole map turns blue.
What do I do?

Make a backup of your current glestadv.ini and try increase Field of View (FOV) and distance type settings.

I can see:
RenderFov
RenderDistanceMax
RenderDistanceMin
CameraMaxDistance
CameraMaxYaw
CameraMinDistance
CameraMinYaw
CameraFov

If one or more of those don't help, it might be a bug.

I'll try it.

Did anybody ever fix CameraFOV to do anything?

Well I played around with those settings you mentioned, and now the menu model is upside-down, and in-game, all I see is rain going up.

Current ini settings:

that's probably because I didn't know what I was doing when I modified GameCamera::computeVisibleQuad().  Just set it back to something reasonable.  Even still, if you had it set to 300 and it was working, you would be seeing a fish-eye view of most of the world, which probably isn't something you want either.  Set it back to 90 and try these settings:

Code: [Select]

CameraFov=90
CameraInvertXAxis=true
CameraInvertYAxis=true
CameraMaxDistance=200.00
CameraMaxYaw=88.75
CameraMinDistance=2
CameraMinYaw=10

That should give you a pretty wide range of motion on the camera.  I'm not sure why you've getting blue if you zoom far out and you have RenderDistanceMax set to a high number.

Well it was raining, could that effect it?

EDIT: With those changes you posted, my menu model and in-game stuff is still all upside-down.

Have you tried turning of the fog in the tileset. Everything over a certain distance becomes "fogged out".

Also I believe the maximum value for RenderDistanceMax is 1024, anything higher will cause a crash.

Thanks Wciow, I'll try that.
