[Help] Cham Visibility

[helicopter12]

So I just started BFBC2 again... First instinct was to make chams, so I learned how to use shaders from the ModelRec topic (different then me using the usually K.O.S. and CA texture chams).

My DIP(Creds for teams to that ModelRec thread):

HRESULT WINAPI nDrawIndexedPrimitive(LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 pDevice, D3DPRIMITIVETYPE PrimType,INT BaseVertexIndex,UINT MinVertexIndex,UINT NumVertices,UINT startIndex,UINT primCount)
{
    LPDIRECT3DVERTEXBUFFER9 StreamData;
    UINT OffsetInBytes;
    UINT Stride;
    pDevice->GetStreamSource(0,&StreamData,&OffsetInBytes,&Stride);
        if(Team1)
        {
            pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZENABLE,false);
            pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_FILLMODE,D3DFILL_SOLID);
            pDevice->SetPixelShader(Blue);

            oDrawIndexedPrimitive(pDevice,PrimType,BaseVertexIndex,MinVertexIndex,NumVertices,startIndex,primCount);

            pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZENABLE,true);
            pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_FILLMODE,D3DFILL_SOLID);
            pDevice->SetPixelShader(Green);
        }else if(Team2){
            pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZENABLE,false);
            pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_FILLMODE,D3DFILL_SOLID);
            pDevice->SetPixelShader(Blue);

            oDrawIndexedPrimitive(pDevice,PrimType,BaseVertexIndex,MinVertexIndex,NumVertices,startIndex,primCount);

            pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZENABLE,true);
            pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_FILLMODE,D3DFILL_SOLID);
            pDevice->SetPixelShader(Green);
        }
    return oDrawIndexedPrimitive(pDevice, PrimType, BaseVertexIndex, MinVertexIndex, NumVertices, startIndex, primCount);
}

Now I have a problem, the only time the chams actually show any sort of wall hack or color is when I'm literally like 4 feet from a person.

Now my question is how can I increase the viewing distance - I heard there was a fix?

Thanks,
Heli

I guess it the Model Rec of the player. You can log the strides with an Stridelooker, on the forums are a few arround.

Sounds like a case of the ol'
Level of detail

yeah you need to re-log the numverts and such.
what you do is go close to the player and log it then move back until it dissapears and then lower the numbers and re-log when it chams again.
keep going 3-4 times until you have it how you want it.

its hard with guys running around so best hook up with a mate and have him in server with you for more accurite logging

Alright thanks everyone, I'll give it a go.

Or do the smart thing and use crc's so you only have to log 1 value.....
