First, open EffectLib/EffectInstance.h and add this to CEffectInstance class:

const D3DXMATRIX& GetGlobalMatrix() const { return m_matGlobal; };
 

Now go to GameLib/Area.cpp and add these to the includes

#include "../UserInterface/StdAfx.h"
#include "../UserInterface/PythonCharacterManager.h"
#include "../UserInterface/PythonBackground.h"
 

Now modify CArea::__UpdateEffectList function to look like this

void CArea::__UpdateEffectList()
{
	int peNum;
	float pfStart, pfEnd, pfFarClip;
	D3DXVECTOR3 chrPos;
	CPythonBackground::instance().GetDistanceSetInfo(&peNum, &pfStart, &pfEnd, &pfFarClip);
	CInstanceBase* pInst = CPythonCharacterManager::instance().GetMainInstancePtr();
	
	if (!pInst)
		return;

	chrPos = pInst->GetGraphicThingInstanceRef().GetPosition();
	CEffectManager& rkEftMgr=CEffectManager::Instance();

	TEffectInstanceIterator i;
	for (i = m_EffectInstanceMap.begin(); i != m_EffectInstanceMap.end();)
	{
		CEffectInstance * pEffectInstance = i->second;

		const D3DMATRIX& gMatrix = pEffectInstance->GetGlobalMatrix();
		if (pfStart < GetPixelPositionDistance(chrPos, TPixelPosition(gMatrix._41, gMatrix._42, gMatrix._43)))
		{
			pEffectInstance->Hide();
			++i;
			continue;
		}

		pEffectInstance->Show();
		pEffectInstance->Update();

		if (!pEffectInstance->isAlive())
		{
			i = m_EffectInstanceMap.erase(i);
			rkEftMgr.DestroyUnsafeEffectInstance(pEffectInstance);
		}
		else
		{
			++i;
		}
	}
}
