World of Warcraft looking better (and list of Console Commands)

Graphics engine of WOW client can do some wonders. Only you have to do is manual tweaking of some parameters. And also, probably full set of Console commands.

Want to see world of World of Warcraft in look as you haven't seen ever before? Put following into macro and run it any time you want. If you are satisfied, just exit game as normal, new values will be saved into Config.wtf and kept there (excludign CharacterAmbient i would say).

/console groundEffectDensity 256
/console groundEffectDist 140
/console detailDoodadAlpha 100
/console horizonfarclip 2112
/console farclip 777
/console smallcull 0
/console characterAmbient 0
/console skycloudlod 3

Need to turn back to "default" values for some reason? Here, the ones known to me (based on my current settings which i run normally) :

/console groundEffectDensity 16
/console groundEffectDist 70
/console detailDoodadAlpha 1
/console horizonfarclip 1305
/console farclip 477
/console smallcull 0.040000
/console characterAmbient 1
/console skycloudlod 1

In similar way these settings can be turned totally down - like this :

/console groundEffectDensity 0

/console groundEffectDist 0

/console detailDoodadAlpha 1

/console horizonfarclip 1

/console farclip 1

/console characterAmbient 0

/console smallcull 0

/console skycloudlod 1
