Votan's Adaptive (Video-)Settings  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 1.5.7
by: votan [More]
DependenciesDescription
This add-on adjusts the view- and particle distance to the current graphic load and context (normal, combat, UI hidden) to stabilize the framerate. If the view distance drops and drops, additional effects get disabled:
Distorsion, god rays and antialiasing. In this order.

And if the framerate raises again, e.g. because you left the crowded city, the view distance increases again. This way you can choose between quality and performance: Smooth fps in combat and best graphics otherwise.

Since 1.3.0: If you travel or use a door, the view distance is set back to the average between minimum and maximum. This is because:
  • You may leave a low GPU load zone and enter a heavy GPU load zone and do not hit a GPU burst wall.
  • You may leave a heavy GPU load zone and enter a low GPU load zone and would see the "nothing" where the opposite wall should be.

This add-on works with Shissu's PvP/Game Booster. The difference is:
  • Shissu's PvP/Game Booster is more effective, but also regonizable and active during combat/on demand only.
  • This add-on is less effective than Shissu's PvP/Game Booster, but more subtile and operates all the time.

If you want to see the add-on's activities, enable framerate performance indicator (/fps)

A "Thank You" to @dorrino and @Cabum for their feedback.

Remarks
  • Be fair to the system: If you use (adaptive) v-sync, like I do, keep the minimum framerate a few frames below limit (<60).
    Otherwise the add-on can not detect under-load.
  • As higher your target framerate, as slower the view distance will increase again.

If you feel dissatisfied with the second main menu entry for "Addons", take a look at Harven's AS to LAM adapter.

Important!
If your view distance drops and keeps at minimum (your Minimum View Distance) you may have a problem with an add-on or need a new machine .

If in doubt, just don't use the add-on and you will see.

Beschreibung
Dieses Addon passt die Sichtweite und Partikeldistanz der aktuellen Grafikauslastung und dem Kontext an (Normal, Kampf, UI ausgeblendet) um die Framerate zu stabilisieren.
Wenn die Sichtweite schrumpft und schrumpft, werden weitere Effekte abgeschaltet:
Verzerrung, Lichtstrahlen und Antialiasing. In der Reihenfolge.

Wenn die Framerate wieder steigt, zum Beispiel weil Du die überfüllte Stadt verlassen hast, steigt die Sichtweite wieder. Auf diese Weise kannst Du zwischen Qualität und Performance wählen: Hohe Framerate im Kampf und ansonsten bessere Grafik.

Seit 1.3.0: Wenn Du reist oder eine Tür verwendest, wird die Sichtweite wieder auf den Mittelwert zwischen Minimum und Maximum gesetzt. Und zwar deswegen:
  • Möglicherweise verläßt Du eine Zone mit geringer GPU Last und tritts in eine Zone mit hoher GPU Last und wirst nicht von einer Belastungsspitze umgehauen.
  • Möglicherweise verläßt Du eine Zone mit hoher GPU Last und tritts in eine Zone mit geringer GPU Last und würdest das "Nichts" sehen, wo die gegenüberliegende Wand sein sollte.

Dieses Addon funktioniert zusammen mit Shissu's PvP/Game Booster. Der Unterschied ist:
  • Shissu's PvP/Game Booster ist effektiver, aber auch bemerkbarer und nur während des Kampfes/bei Bedarf aktiv.
  • Dieses Addon ist weniger effektiv als Shissu's PvP/Game Booster, aber mehr subtil und arbeitet die ganze Zeit.

Wenn Du sehen willst, was das Addon macht, kannst Du den Framerate Performance Indikator aktivieren (/fps)

Anmerkung
  • Sei fair zu dem System: Wenn Du, so wie ich, (adaptives) V-Sync verwendest, halte die Minimum Framerate unter der Begrenzung (<60).
    Sonst kann das Addon keine Unterlast feststellen.
  • Je höher die Ziel Framerate, desto langsamer erhöht sich die Sichtweite wieder.

Wenn Du nicht mit dem zweiten Hauptmenüeintrag für "Erweiterungen" leben kannst, schau Dir mal Harven's AS to LAM adapter an.

Wichtig!
Wenn die Sichtweite auf Minimum (15) fällt und dort bleibt, besteht entweder ein Problem mit einem Addon oder Du brauchst ein neuen Rechner .
Im Zweifel, verwende das Addon einfach nicht und Du wirst sehen.

To Do
- Option to change view distance only. Keep particle distance untouched.

Gallery
All sceenshots made at 2560x1440 (WQHD) with "Supreme" texture quality.

Not the best moment to seek for the screenshot key, but hey 60fps

normally I would say "no". But if the settings get saved on the server, this is not impossible.
I will test.
Beginner settings? hmm. Mid range speed and fast (greather value) for frame drops.
If you set 60fps or more for combat., the distance will drop to 12 and stay there. Try this.

Thanks.

Yes. I have tested it. Not recently , but yes. Shissu's PvP/Game Booster affects different settings.

/edit 1: This error is from CraftingSwit running without any other addon. I check why.
/edit 2:
1. CraftingSwit has a path typo in CraftingSwit.txt: Libs/LibStub/LibStub.lua = > Libs/LibStub.lua
2. CraftingSwit is using an old revision of LAM2 r17 of API 100011 !
Try to correct the path and update the LAM2 folder with the newest revision. Or explicitly install the newest LAM2 addon.
Thanks! Sorry that was confusing because there for some reaons was no error with CraftingSwit when the TG patch hits and I did not update it. After installing this addon it happend lol. But thanks for the fix it works fine!

Harven's AS to LAM adapter helps!!! Thanks a lot. The second "Addon Settings" is also gone. And yes, the second "Addon Settings" is definitely related to this addon, when I remove it (not disable, delete files) this second entry is gone. Interesting enough, with some other addons installed the second entry would be gone too, definitely some sort of LAM2 compatibility issue. But now it's all good, thanks a lot!!!

Version 1.2.2: For those whom want to test performance:
I changed the "Maximum Framerate" slider to 1000fps:
This slider represents the UserSettings.txt value "MinFrameTime.2". This value defines a forced pause between rendering frames. Just to be sure this value is not a source of slowdown it can be set to 1/1000fps = 1ms.
Limit GPU load via enabling v-sync or your graphic adapter control panel and/or keep an eye on the temperatur to see if it has an effect for you.

My card is running at 64°C/147°F.
