enlargening the map on besiege, version 2024
this is a detailed tutorial on how to use object explorer on besiege to make your map 10x bigger:) hope u guys enjoy ;)
CTRL + O AND CTRL + - DO NOT WORK? COULD BE CTRL + ò OR CTRL + ~
for the opening press CTRL and try basically all buttons. they might be LOT different because the author is american so he used american keyboard layout
before starting: i am not a really good youtuber so i normally dont explain by voice and either i am not really into video editing
the video is basically RAW, just showing u guys what i did. there are some explanation boxes in the video too
ENABLE SUBTITLES AS THEY HAVE MORE DETAILED INFO THAN HERE
another note: object explorer lets you browse the entities in game
it contains TWO LISTS:
lft side is ENTITY list and ITS CHILD entities
right side is ENTITY PROPERTIES that are valid for the SELECTED entity AND ALL HIS CHILDS
is called a child entity, anything that is "contained" in it so if i change the size properties by a factor 10 of something, ALL THINGS that show inside it in the entity list, will also get affected
00:00 presenting barrenland and the executor
00:44 getting started.. disabling the world border
1:14 enlargening floor and mountains/archs
when hosting, you want to mess with MULTIPLAYER LEVEL
inside it,
1 - change the size of FLOORBIG by multiplying X and Z by a factor of 10 (add a zero and press enter) dont touch Y or ur machine will become underground
2 - change the size of the arch and mountains: inside multiplayer level, check in environment and select BARREN
add a 0 on x,y,z on it
(if successful the mountains wil disappear because they became so big and far that the current fog covers them and you cannot see them)
2:41 time to adjust the fog
look for MAIN CAMERA and search for COLORFUL FOG in it (it's pretty down in the list)
adjust density from 0,004, to 0,0004 (we making it 10 times less strong) this will balance down the distances. at this point you still dont se the mountains
3:32 fog sphere
you cant see the mountain yet but a grey background. that is a FOG sphere that surrounds your machine. in the game its used to HIDE and smoothen down the RENDERING BORDER (wich is ugly)
to see well, you need to search for FOG SPHERE in main camera, and adjust its size by adding a 0 in its X,Y,Z
at this point you see the mountains AND the rendering border, wich covers them partially
3:45
the rendering border is by default set to 4500 and u find it in the first options in MAIN CAMERA
add a 0 and everything will go to place. time to enjoy !
