Summary0004303: hide_distance not hiding entities (without an LOD model set)
DescriptionAccording to http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Performance:_Essential_Must-Knows#Hide_Distance the minimum to hide an entity at a minimum distance should be positive values for "hide_distance" and "dist_check_period". However, this isn't the case: see http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Talk:LOD and the attached map.

Either the implementation is bugged or the first wiki entry is wrong. Certainly there's no obvious (to a mapper) reason why that doesn't work.
TagsNo tags attached.

Also, I'm now trying to set up an entity that does have an LOD stage, and finding that it won't change to its lowpoly version unless hide_distance is also set.

I'm tentatively adding this to the 2.04 road map. We tweaked this mechanism in 2.04 so the behaviour of this spawnarg might already be different. None of our changes should have broken existing maps of course. This report needs investigating in 2.04.

This turns out to be something I broke in 2.03 and already fixed for 2.04 --> 0003912

Confirmed that the test map is broken in 2.03 but works in 2.04.
