Is this a patch or an installation of DBs mod?

This is a surprise. Nice program, aaro!

To uninstall, just adjust the view distance ingame. :P

Very nice surprise Aaro, now that's a great tool for all. :) Due to it is possible do automatically an edit that otherwise has to be done manually with an HEX editor with some difficulties, and it's not for most people. I still haven't tried the manual way to get the unlimited distance view, I'll try with this program.
Have been got various problems with the manual edit and the values used, that not to all it worked and worked properly. Can it happen with using this program too? Which values does it use for the file edit? Better add more info in the Readme file, like how to remove the edit, that's by deleting the edited .cfg file and rename the file extension of the backup copy to .cfg, as you've successively said here.

I only ask about uninstalling because my sky mod doesnt work with it. Maybe I'll try taking out the fog files from my sky mod...

Unfortunately the link to the view_distance_patcher program is broken - would someone be so kind and post the file somewhere and/or update the link?

Thank you.

You could try doing it manually. To be honest, that program didnt work for me.

Thank you so much for the link to your great instructions! :D
I do prefer editing the file manually - that way I at least know what I have changed. I'll get right on it.
