Might develop a patch for the Barb compass range Options

[ScrapyardBob]

This goes back to my work from Oct 2004 on the compass range issue in the initial release of CoD:UO:

The default value for CoD:UO still seems to be 1024 units for the compass range. You can check this in-game by opening the console and typing ([TAB] means to hit the tab key):

/cg_hud[TAB]

You'll notice that cg_hudCompassMaxRange indicates the radius of your compass. It's read-only so you can only change it by applying server-side mods.

One of the fun things is that if the gametype or map that you're playing does not specifically set the compass_range variable in its GSC files, it will inherit it from the previously played map. This is why some of us noticed that sometimes Ponyri had a good compass while other times the compass was messed up. (It all depended on what map we played previously.)

More in a bit...
