2 questions about mapping (IPL rotation & visible distance)

[dzek (varez)]

2 questions:

1st:

Anyone knows how to convert that IPL rotations into MTA? i know that was already asked 2 or more times, but maybe theres something new here? I found 2 converters, both cannot convert rotation. I know rotation have something with Quarternions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarternion), but hell, i cannot count that (or - "i dont understand single letter in this")! I hate math..

2nd:

Any chances to set visible distance over 500? I have custom object that is larger than 500 units in both directions I used to do some 3D creating few years ago, BUT i think splitting this big object will take too much time, so im looking for easier way

i saw code like this:

setElementStreamable(obj_custom1, false)
engineSetModelLODDistance(1630, 5500)

but this is not working though
