Description
Ever wondered what No More Room In Hell would be like if it took advantage of all the tricks available?

Well, fear not, Workshop Browser!

With the revolutionary technology within the Source Engine, we can render lower polygon count models at a further distance from your camera!

Save up to 75% of triangles per item with range from your perspective, at the cost of slightly more RAM and Disk consumption!*

* Note : We do not insure or guarantee that your game will perform better, but it's a shock there was no LOD models to begin with!

Secondary Note : Custom Item Models will overwrite the related items, meaning the potential performance gain is lost! Depending on your load order, either the base NMRIH model, or custom model will be displayed!

In these cases, being able to install individual files would remedy the problem. Such collections are coming soon to a Workshop near you.

And, if this mod somehow improved your gameplay, and there's spare pennies jingling in your pocket, consider lightening your load with a small donation via Ko-fi![ko-fi.com]

At the end of the day, I've learned a lot more about handling QC commands and loading up and working with Blender, something I've had difficulty just understanding, and I feel accomplished that this even functions in the first place.

Either way, Thanks for the insightful information, and have a wonderful rest of your day!

Hello, and yeah, you're pretty much right. But I'm gonna be real, I did all this on a manic whim. Most of the ammo models present in game are already as cheap as one can get for models, and therefore did not have LOD patched in for them. Things such as arrows and their boxes do however have such LOD patched in.

You are far more practised and knowledgeable about modelling and such systems, I will concede to that. My methods are rudimentary, and more of a proof of concept for other modders more than anything.

As for areaportals, I do know about such handy functionality as I have had interest in using Hammer before, but... I'd also be relying on mappers doing a good job at optimising their custom maps, and to their credit, some do well. Others however, could do a better job at it, if they wanted to put more polish on their final product.

LODs are best used for when a lot of models are shown in screen at the same time. like playermodels, for items it used to be a actual waste of time and space to make lods for each

areaportals should handle this situation for worldmodels, not even valve thought it was a good idea adding level of detail to worldmodels in l4d1/l4d2

TLDR: redudant, areaportals are a thing
