Title: [QUESTION] WoW render distance?
Post by: fearless_wind on October 12, 2013, 03:18:47 pm

Hello, Modcraft. I have a question. I want to make render distance in wow a bit higher. I know a tool (Wow Machinima Tool) that can do it, but it's not good for players to launch it every time they launch the game. Is there anyway to increase the maximum value via hex editing or smth like that?

You can create a module to do this then inject it with Warden or Battle.net, in theory. You would need experience in memory editing.

Try to put this in your wow folder and launch the game. Can I improve this thing?

Maybe it's something controlled by interface?
I figured out that this thing is called farclip by searching in Interface LUA files. I looked up the word in wow.exe structure. That's what I found. But I see no values there.

As far a I know it´s controlled by the client. Interface modifies it throug CVars.

I think that the CVar is limmited by the client, but you might try to execute this on the chat: (change VALUE)

Code: [Select]

/script SetCVar("farclip", VALUE)

How can I change the maximum allowed value? I know it's to be 2100.

I found ths: http://www.wow-one.com/forum/topic/2500 ... wdistance/ (http://www.wow-one.com/forum/topic/25006-increase-farclipviewdistance/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) (Post #13)
When pastebin comes back you should check http://pastebin.com/f49971dd7 (http://pastebin.com/f49971dd7" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) It might contain some interesting info.

--Edit--

It´s an AutoIt tool which rewrites the memory, so it should be useful

And how can I use it? I need to somehow implement this to the exe or else. To allow player increase their view distance in-game.

I'm talking with Malu05 in skype now. So, I hope we'll find a solution.
