lod_distance_scale value doesn't persist between launches #73

Open GooberRF opened 3 years ago

GooberRF commented 3 years ago

To replicate:

  1. Open game, type "lod_distance_scale" to get current value (will be 10.0)
  2. Type "lod_distance_scale 20" to set scale to 20
  3. Type "lod_distance_scale" to get current value (will be 20.0)
  4. Type "quit" to exit game
  5. Restart game, type "lod_distance_scale" to get current value (will be 10.0)

I know about it. I through investing time into adding saving is not worth it. Why do you want to change it permanently? Is current checkbox "High model details" not enough?

It's probably not something that will be important in most cases, I simply reported it because it seemed like a bug. ED told me about it because he noticed it didn't save, and thought it was a bug.

It feels like its something that should persist between game launches, but at the end of the day, I don't think it's a huge problem or anything if it doesn't.

There are two problems here:

I primary added that command for playing around with different scales to choose a good one and checking if my code works correctly...
