There is a more or less secret auto-lod-calculation inside the Black Ops Unleashed mod.

I added there a automatic LOD setting routine (Viewdistance by unit/Building Size).
Its also only using highres textures/models for units/buildings if you zoom out.

You could test Black Ops Unleashed and see if those lod settings fit your needs.

the issue i found with it that made me turn it off is that you can see things like rocks on the map, but if you are not zoomed in enough the reclaim button doesnt appear so you end up clicking on trees a lot only to have move orders (

but it was a nice mod still

Be warned: even with a beast PC it can be a huge dent in performance. I had to delete the mod and I'm running a 1070++5690k ; (

It did help with keeping zoomed-out, tho. Hopefully you have better results.

good mods, but on some maps the mods are buggy

Can I play with UI mods in ranked games?

Increase Detail Model Distance? (reclaim/trees/decals/etc)

2017-04-10T21:15:35+02:00

Is there a way to maximize the detail model distance in a game, such that you can see every little piece of reclaim and unit even when being all the way zoomed out on the map?

Right now wreckages, foliage, and decals completely disappear once you are only slightly zoomed out. I would like to disable this completely...I think I have a strong enough video card to handle it

Even maxing out the in-game video settings still will not allow you to see all the detail on a map from afar.
