Well, I set that up...now I have to figure out exactly what's up with the variables the guy was using in Gfx....a number of them appear to no longer exist, or no longer have the same kind of values they used to.
For example, groundEffectDensity is coming back with values between 16 and 64 from the slider settings in the Video UI instead of the 16 to 256 he was saying, and mapShadows,horizonFarClip and shadowLOD are always coming back as zero, regardless of where I put the Shadow Quality slider or view distance sliders.
Anyone have an updated list of the current SetCVar(<variablename>,<Value>) pairs for the Video quality settings? Whoever's doing Gfx apparently hasn't kept track of them over the last few patches...though he does appear to have uploaded an update today, so once it's available I can check and see if he's added any new variables.

OK...It appears that the event does, indeed, fire, but some areas it doesn't fire when you expect it to...I had been testing in by flying my mount from Dalaran up to Icecrown and back, and though the Zone chat channels change, the actual Zone Changed event does not fire, though if I do a GetZoneText() it clearly DOES change when I move between the areas...oddly, when I had switched to my rogue down in Gadgetzan to run around the desert a bit, the event fired...when the zone text did NOT change, just entering and leaving Gadgetzan (it said "Tanaris" in GetZoneText() in both places, but entering and leaving the town caused a firing of "Zone changed"
So obviously Zone Changed is a very unreliable event. I'll have to hook it into something more reliable I suppose, like CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL_NOTICE, instead.

ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA would be a better choice for you, as it only fires on major zone changes.
The question is, is it any more reliable than ZONE_CHANGED is? You have to agree that it SHOULD fire if you're on a flying mount going from Dalaran to Icecrown, at least once...but it didn't.
