Summary0002634: Need a way for the mapper to prevent lod_bias hiding important entities
DescriptionCurrently the user can dial down lod_bias to very low values, and this will cause all entities to disappear, even when very close.

It would be a good idea to enforce a minimum visible distance like 500 units (e.g. if the entity is closer than that, lod_bias < 1.0 gets simply ignored). And also make this overridable by the mapper, f.i. set it to 100 units for grass, or 1000 units for a big statue.

This has been resolved with revision 0004602. We support the "lod_normal_distance" spawnarg, which is documented at tdm_base.def and on the wiki. Entities that are closer than this distance ignore lod_bias < 1.0 (e.g. they pretend the user set "Normal" in the menu).

The hide_distance_bug.map has been updated with two rocks, the left has the spawnarg and is thus always visible from up to 500 units, the right rock hasn't the spawnarg and shows the v1.03 behaviour, e.g. with Object Detail at "Lowest" it is only visible from approx. 250 units away.
