If u have lets say farplane 1000, Is it true that the game wont render anything outside of that 1000 units relative to the player?

false, 1000 units is where the farplane begins to fog, it's another 1024 units or so before things are truly not seen, if you make towers at regular intervals you'll see that their sillhouette is still visible after 1000 units.

It depends on whether you set farplane_cull on or off... if it's off, buildings more than 1000 units away will be completely filled with fog color, and make a silhouette if the sky color doesn't match the fog color... if farplane_cull is on, buildings beyond 1000 units will not be drawn.

And also, saying nothing beyond is rendered is not correct I think ( but close ): A brush with some part of it closer than 1000 units will still be rendered.

So a better question would be:

Is it true that the game wont render any faces completely outside of that 1000 units relative to the player?

<- @ me !@ you
