P.S: Glad about the tooltips.
I disagree. The interface is part of the game. It's fine where it is. Thanks for a great addon!
Originally posted by Korkosh oh, good idea. I'll do so

0 = No effects
1 = Green Blood effects
2 - 5 = red blood effects
but it's hard to see the difference, you need to zoom in very close
Also, are you certain that the camera view cannot be adjusted to zoom out even further
By setting cameraDistanceMax 25 and cameraDistanceMaxFactor 2 you will reach the maximum distance. You could try to set both to higher values but you will have exactly the same result.
Quite a nice addon. I've used these tweaks in the past manually but forgot over time but coming across this addon refreshed my memory and best part yet it now makes it simplistic.
I do have a question on one part though. What exactly is violence level? I assumed it was the thickness of blood splatters but I couldn't seem to notice much of a difference, granted I didn't pay attention to them prior anyway.
Also, are you certain that the camera view cannot be adjusted to zoom out even further or is that a new restriction in the latest WoW Clients? I seem to remember back in the day being able to set it ridiculously far, as in I could zoom out and see damn near the other side of the zone from where my character was.
