Enhance your graphics without any mod-BS

[Pishy 0]

I have read several threads about graphic or model improvmements etc. Mods and enhanced models are bullshit.

So I thought i put this guide out there for anyone interested in getting the maximum optical pleasure out of the game. Use this guide:

It will turn your game into something beautiful. Also turn your resolution to an absolute max and you will think you're playing a 2016 version of the classic WoW that was released back then - promise! Although it looks gorgeous, it still has the classic Warcraft feeling to it - which is imortant ( I can't stand the current look of World of Garbage).

 

Have fun with it.

That looks really nice, going to try it!

 

Somewhat off topic but in relation to this, if you export to wowmodelviewer do your in-game settings such as the ones above affect that?

[Wirago 8]

Actually very useful. Definetly going to try that. Thanks!

You're going to like it 100%. Especially the further draw distance makes the world feel much more "real".

Oh that looks nifty

It's too bad we can't increase grass draw distance, it's the only thing that has ever bothered me.  Almost all those commands are set to max already by maxing out all the ingame settings in the options menu.

Not all settings are available in the in-game options menu, some of the ones posted are over-the-top improvements

Thanks Pishy.

 

This is actually pretty cool.

I have spent several hours tweaking to try to increase the grass distance but I think it's just not possible. However it won't bother you long. Max everything within ingame options and put these commands on top as Falorthan is right:

Especially the grass density makes it look awesome. Also you will never ever see any sort of "end of the world" anymore! You will also be able to see players and mobs at a distance you didn't know was possible. The world feels 100 times more alive and real - I promise. Also I have enabled a command within my Nvidia settings that allows me to go much further than my native screen resolution. I play at 3000-somethingx2000-something resolution which is absolutely insane on my 27" screen. Sharp like a catana!

 

Thanks Pishy.

You're very welcome, so much worth applying these commands.

Seems like this only sets the settings to the max which i can also do regulary in the GUI.

Or did i miss anything?

Kind regards

Well posted, thanks.

You can't adjust grass density above "48" in game compare to maximum 256 by going to config.wtf

but maximum draw distance in game is maximum for Vanilla no chance to expand it without modifing .exe .mpq files = BAN

 

basically

draw distance - client maximum

spell level - client maximum

water/weather - client maximum

shaders - client maximum

 

only few things you can do in config like grass density

 

SET frillDensity "48" maximum in game

 

SET frillDensity "256" maximum in config

 

I prefer it around 150-200 because on 256 its like jungle

There's before and after pics within this guide. The before pictures were taken with everything maxed within the ingame UI. Especially the Durotar and Echo Isle show a huge difference at a far distance. I agree many commands seems obsolete or are already set to a max. value within ingame UI, but not all of them. Let the before and after pics speak for themselves and feel free to not apply any of these values. There are many more occasions or zones where you see much more details at very far distances (e.g. hills around the zones).

 

I am playing on 3840x2160 resolution on a 27" screen and using max. AA - this alone makes the game look sharp like a catana. It's insane.

Everyone is acting like this is allowed. Can we have an official post to confirm this?

[Undertanker 88]

Increasing the setting is allowed.  What is not allowed is altering models.

As you are not altering any files and data, just inherent settings, it wont be reported by the tool.

hazar thanks for clarification and your detailed answer!

After some tests i got struck at 64 fps forever (before tests had 250+), changing anything in nvidia panel doesn't makes difference, nor deleting config file...

dafuq i did

Sure you reverted everything to it's original value?

[Legron 4]

Yeah, i did restore to original (Global) settings for World of Warcraft, returned original config file to its location...Even installed new video driver...still 64 fps :|

This might be an even more stupid question, but are you using any sort of VSync option - ingame or outside?

[Legron 4]

Yes, vsync is always OFF.

+my Skyrim struck on same fps too :| used to have stable 160

 

In Nvidia panel all seems ok...
