Increase drawing distance for sniping

[Alex]

If your lookiing to snipe, sometimes the draw distance may be kinda annoying, i could barely see 30 meters, i had mine default set to 1400, but i chagned it to 3000 and now i can see way further. You go into your autoexec.cfg and type this
cl_detaildist 3000
then save!
Note it may cause little less fps..


*Still testing it, maybe it jsut looks like it helped but im pretty sure it did


having problems finiding autoexec? search google - however it should be in your gmod install directory > cfg > autoexec.cfg

Where would I find this autoexec.cfg file and such?? Would love more accurate instructions!

Also if I needed to change the settings ect, what program would/could I use?
I'm looking to raise my general draw distance.

Does this actually change anything serverside? Post some screenshots of the difference from the same spot pla
