0002483: VISUALRANGE doesn't work for values > 18

sphere already support higher values, but classic clients are limited internally on client-side to use 18 as max value (I think) and there's no way to change it. So sphere can set VISUALRANGE > 18 but the client will just use 18 as max value

on enhanced client I dont know the max value, probably it's 0001473:0000030

I can't remember now, but I think that setting VISUALRANGE to 20 and then doing .SHOW VISUALRANGE shows 18 (previous value, before setting it to 20, was 18). I won't be able to check it before 3 days, i'll let you know :)

here I set it to 30 and using '.show visualrange' it return visualrange=30 without problems

I think 1~2 years ago the VISUALRANGE value was limited to 18 internally on sphere, but probably this limit was removed to make it compatible with higher values used by enhanced clients

Apparently sphere does well, the value is stored and showed correctly (as Coruja said) and the packet is sent right, even if i can't manage to check if it's sent correctly also after the client login. Maybe it's client's fault :(

I tried to remove its limit with no success, 2 days ago I entered on OSI to test some packets and found that even they have it increased (probably to do not give advantages to EC from CC) so my guess is that client is limiting it .

Closing this, changed all internals to 31 (VisualRange too) and the client still limits what it sees, so it may be a way to HexEdit this value? or using another custom clients around there so there is nothing we can do with this.

BTW, VisualRange is limited to 31.
