Question Improve graphical settings such as viewable distance?

G'day.

Is there any way to improve the viewable distance, and while I'm asking - any other graphical settings, beyond the settings I find inside EverQuest Titanium's Options->Display tab?

I miss seeing everything right to the horizon (assuming fog allows). But I suppose that isn't very classic, and may even be cheating? I don't know. Advice? Is it even possible, regardless?

TIA :-)

would have to write a new client in order to get some of these changes (increased view distance) because of the limitations of 1999 software. tbh, the outdoor zones in this game arent big enough to make good use of a greater view-distance, and i think you would be disappointed.

Sky doesn't affect sight range. I've tried.

Max clipping plane is set on the server side on a zone by zone basis. Distance fog was introduced with the DX9 client back in like 2004 and there is no way to really get rid of it.

No, I like the fog - I'd hate to return to the stupid state of live where zones like Surefall have giant trees with no top (because the fog hid them, so they never added the tops, in order to reduce complexity). Plus I find it quite atmospheric at times. I just wanted to see further in already clear zones, if possible.

to get max view, change 3 things:

in options|display, the clipping plane slider should be set to max
the LOD bias slider should be set to max
under dispay page|advanced (I think) the actor clip plane slider set to max

that will max range all you can see
