Stations, Ships and Effects Draw Distances

Description
Increases station modules, special effects (guns firing, tracers, beams, missiles etc.) ships (masstraffic too) and gates LOD draw distances. "Effects" slider should be at max while "LOD" slider can be adjusted to your preference if you want better performance or better draw distance.

(my personal preference: open your config file and set "trafficdensity" to 1 or higher for increased masstraffic, IMO it adds to immersiveness. Don't mess with <lodfactor>1.00</lodfactor> and
<effectdistance>1.00</effectdistance> setting those higher than "1" (equals to max in game setting) actually kills LOD and Effect distances)

Performance hit depends on hardware (mainly CPU).

This mod doesn't increase view distances of asteroids. It's possible to make such mod, but even 2x increase has a big impact on performance.

Report any bugs.

ALWAYS COMPATIBLE WITH NEW GAME UPDATES (as long as Ego don't overhaul the engine completely)

Im also wondering how to change asteroid draw distance to farther away.. the game only uses about 30% of my cpu anyway so it wouldn't hurt to try.

Hey Mr.Freud, thanks for the mod, I consider it essential. If I wanted to mess with asteroid draw distance what parameters should I edit? I got a new beefy CPU and wanted to mess with it :)

I play with 1.0 for traffic and default 0.5 for character

Sounds good, what setting do you personally play with? Still trying it out and for some reason when I changed it, it went from a conga-line of vehicles to a much more reasonable amount.

No max, but they will start clipping with each other. Char ddensity will tank performance on stations

Do you know if there is a max to trafficdensity? Have you ever tried changing chardensity?

Never played it. Should be tho, cant think of a reason not to. try it.

Is this compatible with SWI?

@contactnovuspc try unsubscribing, manually checking the mod is gone from the workshop folder, then resubscribing. Sometimes steam screws up mod updates. Could be a corrupted or outdated mod.

I have used this mod before version 7 for awhile...took a few months break from X4 and just came back after 7.1 release. Didn't have issue like this before version 7 and the update. My graphic card is the rtx3090 but my CPU is about 8 years old.....Since i dont see anyone else reporting the same issue, i think its something on my side. I really appreciate you asking question but no need to waste your time looking deeper into it. Thanks :)
