[Archive] Vanilla 1.12.1 / TBC 2.4.3 / WotLK 3.3.5a - View distance unlock (patched WoW.exe)
Quote: I just re-tested the 3.3.5a executable and I confirmed it's correctly patched and working. However I did notice something strange: the uncapped value only seems to work in WotLK and TBC zones, while Vanilla zones seem to still be capped at the ~777 farclip value; I'll see what I can do.
EDIT: OP updated with new WotLK executable.

Quote: Didnt want to open a new thread, but I too wanted to increase the grass density at some point to the Vanilla Client but hit a wall since the value is not tied to a cvar.
Anyway I want to add another address to the current work you are doing to complement the farclip cvar and is horizonfarclip, this value is used to clip the terrain detailed geometry and force it to render as a shadow only on the horizon.
Testing the value on Thunderbluff its best to set the farclip at 900 and horizonfarclip at 3000 in config.wtf. If you increase farclip past this value, you will see that the game start clipping the terrain at the edges, so I suspect there is another value thats need to be tweaked to really increase the draw distance, maybe is DistCull.
Horizon Far Clip value:
offset: 00410224
00 00 04 45 default value=2112f for Vanilla Client
change it to:
00 40 1C 46 to increase its max value to 10000f

Quote: Hello, and sorry for reopening this old thread.
This patch works flawlessly, thanks a lot.
I was wondering if there is a way to patch groundeffectdist limit in WotLK, is that possible?
