Death Effects

[Kendian]

Call me crazy...but didn't WoW used to have an option to turn off death effects? Where it's all gray and wispy, while your dead?

Yes. But all it would turn off is some of the graphic overlays, not the greyscale or world effects.

And another noob question...once I have it open in microsoft word (which is the only program I can open it with, on my comp, notepad isn't even a choice) How do I save and replace the existing file, with the 2 new lines? If you please?

Are you running Windows? (C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe?) Anyhow, after opening config.wtf you can paste SET ffxDeath "0" to the bottom and save. Notepad makes the file look like jumbly poo anyway as it ignores the newlines. Notepad++ is a good alternative if you're without a text editor. (Edit: If wow is running when you make the change, you'll need to restart it. Edit edit: close wow before you make the change )

Yes, lol, I know about editing using NOtepad, but my comp REFUSED to let me open the program using Notepad, it insisted on Microsoft Word. I had to actually open Notepad, make an an untitled document, and copy/paste the config from Word, then rename. Thank you VERY much for your help, Aprikot...Marioworld avatar notwithstanding, you rock.
Oh, and that worked famously, lol. Thanks again!

You can open the file from Notepad, rather than opening the file and relying on windows to choose Microsoft Word for you.

You can also right click on the file, and choose "Open with..." instead of "Open", whereby you can select Notepad as the program choice.

why not just use a /console command

/console ffxDeath 0

.. or does that method not save the setting?

IMO, Word works better for editing it than Notepad, since it doesn't jumble everything up.

You'd have to do that every time you log in, which can get fairly annoying after a while./
