HI all.
i just want to know if i use the concrete cylinders of Cityscape and i walk inside them , is this normal for the camera to look outside the cylinder , if so then fine if not what can i do to keep it from happening.
See video.


Thanks for any info or help.

Im guessing its the tight curve of the mesh causing the issue.
Not sure what you can do apart from scale them up or restrict the closeness you can get to the sides ?

I believe preben is working on this. There are still instances of the player camera clipping thru geometry.
But as Synchrmesh said, the FOV can be altered a bit, or you can adjust the "collisionscaling" by adding it to the fpe file and lower then 100 is restricting the player camera inside the cylinder and over 100 will allow the camera to move outside or clip thru the cylinder more.

its a similar issue to where some trees can be looked inside of. There was a reason why this is happening and it was to prevent another bug of some sort.

Its just one of those variables that are hard to adjust for any kind of level.

but in setup.ini
change:
lowestnearcamera=2
to:
lowestnearcamera=1

And let me know if it works

The problem with this variable is that the lower it is the more z fighting you get in the distance , so it need to be adjusted. as i remember when i made this we had another problem with the depth buffer that was fixed , so perhaps we can now lower it to 1 by default.

The bug was z clash. The camera settings were changed to avoid it, but as a result you can now see through walls when close up. For example placing a plane on a wall as a poster or picture. The old system would flicker the poster and wall when you move so far away, the new settings reduce that, but give you the reverse problem of vanishing walls when really close.

It's not really a bug just the camera settings. Any engine would do the same. Now we can at least adjust them though which is a help Before, all we could do was adjust the view distance, which is effectively the max camera distance. Now we can set the minimum as well.

Playing with the settings Preben has listed should let you tweak it to suit your game needs

DVader: Yes, also in tab tab the "Camera Distance" has a impact , so try to also lower this , should also help.

@Preben. I've spent more time playing about with min and max camera ranges, than I care to remember Everything I've used before has had an equivalent, DB, DB Pro and AGK.

I was glad that it was finally added into GG, as I was sick of so many store and even DLC objects flickering like mad - mostly windows and doors. I knew what was wrong, but no way to fix it from GG! So Kudos for adding it!

Hi guys, thanks you all for the info, i will look in to it and test everything you guys said.
will let you know how things are going.

Thanks

OK. i have tested.
the lowestnearcamera=1 did not help, but when i pressed tab tab and adjusted the camera distance the i could adjusted it until it was perfect.
with a setting of 50% i could even run against the side of the concrete tunnel and it was still fine.
Thanks a lot for everyone's quick response.

@PCS: lowestnearcamera=1 do matter in the "camera distance" calculation , without it i guess you would have to go as low as 30% to get it to work, it seams that lowestnearcamera=1 makes it more easy for the users to adjust this, so i will change this to a default in the next update, thanks for testing this
