Make WoW nicer with a few console commands
As surprising as it sounds, some people found a way to make WoW look nicer just by typing a few console commands. The best way to do that would be to create a macro with the following commands.
/console groundEffectDensity 256
/console groundEffectDist 140
/console detailDoodadAlpha 100
/console horizonfarclip 2112
/console farclip 777
/console characterAmbient 0
/console smallcull 0
/console skycloudlod 3

Obviously, it will probably lower your framerate a little and you can revert the changes by typing the following :
/console groundEffectDensity 16
/console groundEffectDist 1
/console horizonfarclip 1305
/console farclip 177
/console characterAmbient 1
/console smallcull 1
/console skycloudlod 1
/console detailDoodadAlpha 1
Tried it out and didn't notice and FPS drop. Only noticeable affect is the ground effects (grass, bones, etc.) are a lot more prolific (moreso than if you put the slider all the way up in options) and has a longer clip distance.
Really makes Dustwallow Marsh look like a marsh with all the added grass.
