[DOD:S] Models and Texture Distance Fadeout and Transparents.

[xaxad0]

Update 18/08/21: Please, if this problem have any kind of client fix just tell me, really wanna to stream the game without people think's it's a wallhack thing.

Map textures are transparent according to the distance I am from them. I realized when I was playing on Customs maps but it also happens on original maps, for example Anzio.

What I tried to do and it didn't work:

Tried Various resolutions, refresh rates and proportions. Tried various configurations in the Nvdia Control Panel. Tried minimum and maximum graphic pre-sets. Use commands like r_propsmaxdist; r_screenfademaxsize; r_screenfademinsize; cl_detaildist; cl_detailfade.

What I did and apparently can be the cause of the problem:

I decompiled the dod_anzio.bsp map to open it in Hammer and the objects I noticed to disappear I changed the Start Fade Dist and End Fade Dist attributes to -1 and 0 as suggested and it's worked. Were really visible when I tested the map. Only that model shown in the screenshot below I cannot change the attributes to test the possible reason for the problem with fadeout.

Close To Wall

Conclusion

Even already reported in other topics the possible problem, would there be something on the client side that I can fix it ? Being that it is impracticable to keep changing all defective objects/models on the map, even more the originals of the game. Since when playing multiplayer this bug ends up showing people through textures considered even a way to cheat in the game.

I don't think that's related to this bug. That is just surfaces that failed to have a texture applied to it.

These props were all intentionally set to fade at these distances as a desperate 2005-era optimization method. The window one looks pretty bad for gameplay, but the rest are all completely standard.
