SEE FAR
This is inspired by the See Far mod from 2004 made by Irwin Ryan.

Problem with the 2004 version is that it only pushes the fog further away, but does not increase the draw distance, so you can see the gaps in the terrain in the distance. My See Far 2020 version solves this by also increasing the terrain and object draw distance.

Files were updated for Kingdom of Ehb, Utraean Peninsula and Legends of Aranna maps, but I also included the program I wrote to do this, so files for other maps can be updated as well. Player can choose from three options that push fog and increase draw distance by 20%, 50% or 100%.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Read the "SeeFar2020 - Instructions and changelog.pdf" file inside the download, thanks!

The config, ui and world folders go in the Resources folder. The ui files add selections to the Options menus, that you use to enable the widescreen aspect ratios.

NOTES:

• You need to start a new game for the changes to apply, increased draw distance will not work when loading an old save.
• This will impact performance, so if you are still playing the game on your old Pentium 2, you might skip this one.
• This has not been tested on the entire maps, use at own risk. I know for a fact that going over 100% introduces some rendering glitches in Farmlands. That is why I gave three options to choose from. If you use one of these and find any issues, or if you DON'T find any, please let me know so I can notify others about it.
  

CAMERA
This is directly from See Far 2004. It adds new settings in the options menu and enables the player to move camera very close to player or very far away and also change the angle more freely. In combination with See Far and high resolution textures it can transform the game.



FONT, RESOLUTION, 3D CHARACTER PREVIEW
I replaced the small Font12 which was used throughout the game; options menus, in-game interface, labels for items on the floor, chat...with Font14. It is not a huge difference, but it might help those playing at larger resolution that would appreciate a slight increase in text size without using the dgVoodoo 2 trick.
I updated few files so the game now supports 12 new resolutions up to 1920x1200 natively and can be selected in the options menu. 3D character preview in the inventory originally only supported the original 3 resolutions. I added new entries, so it should display correctly for the new resolutions.



TIME OF DAY
This mini mod can be used to increase the length of day cycle by factor of 2, 3 and 4. By default one day in game lasts 38 minutes and constant transitions between day and night can be distracting and immersion breaking in my opinion. This modification also makes the sun set one hour earlier and rise one hour later, because originally night darkness lasted just 3 in-game hours. I also included an option to always play at day or night. This is a little bonus someone might like.
