Ok I run HB on 2 gig ram machine so whenever i turn on another WoW or some resource heavy program my computer starts to struggle. So I am running WoW in minimal possible sized window with all graphics set to lowest as possible. But there in video settings there is this thing called View Distance: Now i am thinking this: if hb reads game memory for objects like herbs/mines/mobs etc, and my game is set to minimal view distance, does that mean that the objects in question won't be seen by hb unless it approaches close enough to them to be in user-set view distance? Or in other words, is that distance affects loading objects into WoW memory or just rendering them? Since i plan to renew my GB, I'll have to run 2 WoW clients on a virtual desktop, without view distance set to minimal it can be a problem. So what do you guys think, does view distance affects HB/GB in any way?
Your view distance setting should have nothing to do with the objects GB/HB sees. If you fly too high for you not to see the ground on low setting you are doing it wrong.
Very good question, I'd be quite interested to get a knowledgeable answer too... I would guess that view distance doesn't make any difference to HB knowing where objects and NPCs are, as the client will most likely have them loaded, but is not displaying them. I'm not a technical guy, so I may be wording that completely wrong, but it's my best guess.
View distance just changes what WoW renders. (How far, exactly) It has no effect on the objects HB/GB sees within WoW. If you're just botting, I suggest setting it to its lowest, to save some resources.
