DynamicPerformance V1.1 fanfix 1.5

[big]This is a fanupdate, all credits for this addon goes to include for this fantastic addon.
[/big]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You've got an average PC?

Normally you've got 40FPS (frames per second) but you experience a massive FPS decrease in Shattrath and on Isle of Quel'danas? You are worried about the 12FPS while doing raid dungeons?

But you won't throttle down your settings before a raid begins or permanently because when doing solo-content you have an average of 40FPS?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

################################################
Then this is the perfect add-on for you:
D Y N A M I C P E R F O R M A N C E
################################################

This small but great add-on automatically adapts your graphics settings in real-time according to the situation. The basis for this addon is that you have an average pc that usually has enough power to provide an acceptable visual appearance, but the power doesn't suffice in some special cases.

By typing /dp or /DynamicPerformance you will see a small window where you can define your desired framerate. when your framerate is below your
defined framerate (because you enter Shattrath or you are close to a battlemaster) the add-on will adapt specific graphical settings dynamically until the desired framerate is reached again.

This mechanism works in both directions: If your framerate is far above your desired one, the add-on will raise the graphic settings as much as possible.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

parameters that are affected by the add-on:
· visibility range of objects (it will get foggy sometimes *g*)
· visibility range of landscape (far mountains will disappear)
· visibility range of herbage and similar landscape characteristics
· visibility range of small objects
· weather effects (removed due to an internal bug of WoW)
· spell detail level (range from 5 to 10, because below 5 ground effects are not visible anymore)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

All adaptions are made dynamically and there won't be any disrupting effects (e.g. lag because of ReloadUI).

Visibility ranges in battlegrounds will be less adapted as for example in Shattrath because otherwise you may recognize enemy movement too late.

################################################
I N S T A L L A T I O N
################################################

Important: You have to shutdown WoW before installing this addon.

Now unzip the ZIP-archive to your addon-directory. Normally its found in the "interface"-subdirectory of WoW. for example: "c:worldofwarcraftinterfaceaddons"

Restart WoW an log in. As soon as the loadingscreen disapears, a new window pops up. it will show you the actual stats and qualitysettings. There's a slider on the right side of the frame. Its used to set the desired frames per seconds (its set to 27fps per default)

To activate or deactivate the addon, use the buttons of this frame, or do it directly by the slashcommands. (see below)

################################################
C O N T R O L
################################################

There is eigther a minimapbutton nor an extension for Titan or FuBar. Use to following slashcommands instead:

· /dp or /dynamicperformance
This will show /hide the configframe
· /dp on/off
To activate or deactivate the addon directly without GUI

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

On betatesting the addon, i removed some configs to keep the tool as simple as possible. You don't have to create or modify any profiles and there aren't any complex configurations to set.

While scripting the addon, i copied a lot of good ideas and concepts of WowAce. So DynamicPerformance uses as less ressources as possible (40-100KiB)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Special thanks goes to the guild "Knights of Saxony" (http://wow.kos-gilde.de) and some ex-members. They helped me to develop the addon, made some betatests, gave feedbacks, fixed some typos etc...

im thinking about bringing my p4 back on so i can find the optimal settings for low end computers and implement a option to switch from low/mid to highend computers.

That would be great! But anyway, hope i could successfully graduate at the end of this year. When i get back to Hong Kong, i will get a new computer and soon i believe this would not be a problem anymore. Cheers!

Then the 25man failed, we did a 10man instead, and i got VERY GOOD performance in 10man! excellent job! great addon! love it so much!

I do notice another thing, it happen to have a "very quick" reload UI screen in some specific case, not so sure what or when, but i got it one time, when i teleport back to Dalaran, a flash of reload UI screen shows, not rly a big deal, just to let u know

My System: Pentium(R) D 3.00GHz, 2GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT

Overall: Great addon! Love it so much! keep up!! thx you!

I got a new cooling pad though so it's less of a problem now!

Maybe it's just me and some people would rather go for the performance boost.

Thanks!

this addon was designed for low end computers to get manageable frames in crowded areas and i intend to keep it that way. i also use it on my machine with the fps set to 40 and it really helps keep my frames at a playable level in heavy combat situations and dalaran.
if there are problems with the current version on low end computers then i might implement a option to switch between low/high end computers which would allow such changes.

Of course all credit still goes to the creator for this awesome addon and hopefully he shall return and give us a real update.

So, until then, not necessarily perfect, but if you're desperate like me, feel free...

/dp doesn't work with that fix

Further than that either my settings are ****ed(which i can't change as /dp doesn't work) OR your fix does the complete opposite of fixing the fps in raids as i go to sub 5 where i was above 15 during encounters with this addon before.

Been running without it till i checked today for an update and tried out your fix.
Am now anxiously hoping for a real update and running without this addon till then

trclocke A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 54 Uploads: 1	thank you I just wanted to post a quick thank you. This addon is absolutely beautiful. I used to get horrible lag, but only in dalaran and occasionally when heading somewhere on my epic flyer. Now after one or two small stutters the problem quickly corrects itself. I don't know why everyone doesn't use this.
