Some player will be disgruntled when the User Mode options of Rappelz are not working. This cuts into the look of the game and can be a real hassle if you set the preset options and still losing out on some of the features you want boosted or taken down a notch.

The Dreaded .opt File!

Most who are not comfortable with tweaking any type of .ini file for games or programs need not fear. This is a simple file that can greatly help you understand how option settings work, and help you determine how to set up your graphics for rappelz rupees. Rappelz however does not use a .ini file but a .opt file instead. ( In short .opt stands for options.)

Look for the file titled " rappelz_v1.opt "(generally in C:\Program Files\GALA-NET\Rappelz_USA). Choose " Notepad "to open the program! You can also go another route by simply changing the extension from .opt to .txt (the extension .txt is assigned to the program Notepad). Remember after you get done with tweaking and saving your work, change the file extension back to .opt!! Dont forget!

Now the file open youll see a number of familiar words used to describe parts fo the options in game. These features are then followed by a number that is used to distinguish low end up to high end. A general rule of thumb is low end starts with a 1, and high end usually ends in a 4 or 5! Heres some examples of what your looking at in the file, and how the number selected enhances, or lowers the games graphic details.....

[RAPPELZ]
GRAPHIC_RESOLUTION_WIDTH=1152
GRAPHIC_RESOLUTION_HEIGHT=864

As you can see the first thing in the list is your resolution. If you know what res you use, or want to use, fill in appropriately as needed.

GRAPHIC_BACKGROUNDDIS=4 <--- How far do you want to see the background? 5=full, 0=your area or less.
GRAPHIC_TERRAINDIS=4 <--- how far do you want to see terrain? 5=full tilt, 0=your area or less.
GRAPHIC_PROPDIS=4 <--- How far do you want to see props? so on and so on.
GRAPHIC_SPEEDDIS=4
GRAPHIC_GRASSDIS=4
GRAPHIC_AVATARDIS=4
GRAPHIC_SHADOWDIS=4

You do NOT have to use what I have! I have a high end PC that allows me to play games in hi-res and at incredible distances. If you plan to go full tilt make sure you have a Dual Core Processor,at least 1gb of DDR(2) ram or more (more = 1337), and a AGP,PCIe slotted graphics card such as a Nvidia series 6,7,8 with plenty of onboard ram (256,512mb ram). Im currently using a PCIe slotted Nvidia 7600GS 512mb of ram atm, and this is a older card but the PCIe makes a huge difference since its the standard now over AGP. But those with at least a 8xAGP port shouldnt have a problem cranking up rappelz rupees. Those who dont have, will want to try setting each option and try the game out before setting everything to full on! Those with low end machines will find that using simple shadow,simple water reflect (or none at all), and lowering your terrain dist to at least 1 or 2 will still get a better look from rappelz rupees  but your distance seeing maybe be lowered, but not so much it hinders gameplay. Trial and error here for best results.
