What is DrawDistance
Enables you to set a Draw Distance higher than FFXI normally allows, allowing you to see the enviroment farther without the fog effect, making the game look more beautiful.
This plugin is purely cosmetic, and can improve or hurt FPS depending on how its used.
Usage
DrawDistance (2.2) can be loaded by opening your Windower console and typing load drawdistance. DrawDistance (2.2) is autoload friendly, one can add the load drawdistance command to their init.txt file in the scripts folder where Windower resides. See the Commands section for configuration.
Commands
.drawdistance command
- setmap 0-20 - Sets the Enviroment Detail Distance to X
- setmob 0-20 - Sets the Mob Detail Distance to X (including PC's)
- set 0-20 - Sets the Enviroment and Mob Distance to X
- show - Displays your current settings
- reset - Reset's to the settings you originally had before loading DrawDistance.
You may use higher than 20, but from personal test its unnoticeable.
Note: A Setting of 20 is EXTREMELY graphics/cpu intensive, never use that high without a high end graphics card and CPU. I use a 4600+ 2.4ghz AMD X2 64 and a 7900GS and I still can get 20-23 fps in a wide open area with 20 during wind weather while moving around.
