Better View Distance

1.8.16

Fixed Player Character streaming, they weren't governed by BVD and force streamed until they crossed into the defined render ranges, causing a major bandwidth leak.

A caveat here is that BVD still can't properly govern what is driven by the engine, therefore, if the networkviewdistance is set higher, characters may still be visible within engine defined limits.

1.8.15

1.8.14

1.8.13

1.8.12

1.8.11

Further Readme adjustments and wiring for the missionheader, which is where the BVD settings live

1.8.10

Added more functional readme, with instructions on how to inject BVD settings into the server config.

1.8.9

Further server config iteration

1.8.8

Further Config iteration

1.8.7

Further Server Config Wiring

1.8.6

The mod now builds a server config file in it's profile folder for server owners, there you have various controls over what the server environment forces on the clients and unlocking the previous vanilla limitations.

1.8.5

Further iteration on dedicated server functionality.

1.8.4

Added Server Profile for setting global view distance.

Optional pinning/max settings for the categories

1.8.3

Experimental View Range Options for Dedicated Servers

1.8.2

Full mod rewrite.

Instead of constantly flagging objects in an attempt to maintain relevancy, the mod now determines relevancy by the apparent Pixe Count on Screen.

This new method is influenced by FOV, Screen Resolution and overall graphics quality.

I have also taken the liberty of reavaluating the pixel count logic for many exisiting assets, which should come with a noticable improvment when 'focus zooming'especially, the dropped frames should now be significantly lower.

What this means for the end user is a more resposnsive system, as well as better performance.

1.2.0

Made as compatible as possible with Far-Hiding - lackluster implementation means the effect is not observable at BVD exposed ranges

Added Statics+Vehicles to also be Far-Hidden

More statics now get flagged by BVD, so smaller deployables like simple sandbag walls should be covered now.

1.1.5

Crash fixes

1.1.4

Added console general distance slider

1.1.3

Tracers are now added into the BVD Framework

1.1.2

Added Images highlighting the mods features

1.1.1

Fixed PlayerController Issue (input corruption)

1.1.0

Full rework of the rendering system and full integration of view range sliders.

Streaming in of assets is now queued in priority as shown below, reverse for culling:

1. Fortifications
2. Aircraft
3. Vehicles
4. Infantry

The speed at which Fortifications stream in and out is speed up 500 %

1.0.10

aiSimulationRangeCeiling fixed

1.0.9

Added Bi Directictional behaviour for the settings. 

I.e. if Fortification render range drops to 3000, all other settings will fall in line, if aircraft viewrange is increased past fortifications, it will automatically raise, instead of snapping back what was attempted to be adjusted

Reduced minimum slider range to be congruent with Vanilla viewdistance (500m)

1.0.8

Further Service Radii Pass

1.0.7

Made another pass at service radii visibility.

1.0.6

Bacon Loadouts Spawn system edge case that causes input regression that was previously thought to be fixed, now fixed again

1.0.5

Compositions (Static Objects) like emplacements are now being cached properly.

This should alleviate regular stutter/freezing, if not entirely fix it on BVDs end.

1.0.4

Service Radii will not render outside of GM anymore
