So here is my issue, I'm using a NVIDA GeForce GTX 660 with a triple monitor set-up. Two are 1920x1080 and the other is 1080 x 1920 (I'm a programmer thus why its in Portrait). When I try to set my Resolution it refuses to give me the option of using 1920x1080. It seems to be detecting my portrait as my main display which isnt the case. If I unplug the Portrait monitor it allows for the wide screen 1920x1080 option but as soon as that third monitor gets plug in it move its over to that monitor and refuses to change the settings. Any help with this is much appreciated.

I am in the process of creating a Google Docs spreadsheet with each command and a corresponding description.

Doing this command "frillDensity 256", i see that the terrain resolution is great, but only in a shor radius of the Character. How can i see frillDensity at max in any radius of my character?

I don't know if i explained well.

This is fucking awesome by the way

frillDensity only effects the density of ground foliage...like grass and flowers.

256 is the maximum value the Vanilla game engine can handle.

Brilliant and higly detailed summary! Thank you very much! (Good Lord! How the snowstorm in Dun Morogh looks like!)

Some addition:

If you have a different keyboard, you can install an english keyboard setting with the Add a language option in the Control panel (example), and switch between your native and the english one with ALT + SHIFT. Then simply press shift + 0 (with 0 I mean the key next to 1, above TAB – it's 0 on mine) and the console should appear.

Note that you can press the up and down button in the console, so you can retrieve previously entered commands if you want to experiment without too much typing.

If you want to use these settings with SweetFX (there is a thread about it here: http://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1087) you have to set gxMultisample to 1.

Vanilla WoW does not like multimonitor setups (especially if the monitors vary in resolution).

The only solution I have had success with is to unplug all the monitors you don't intend to play the game on.

I wish there was a better solution.
