Zoom mod?

[DenniZ]

Does anyone know if there is a zoom mod available like the one for Dawn of War?

I really need to zoom out further :monkey:

I remember hearing something about someone doing something, but I can't remember where.

Anyway, check out camera.lua inside data/

You can zoom out further by editing camera.lua, but you get more fog so it is pointless at the moment. The camera DefaultHeight = 35 meter, I increased it to 50. This value is still not disturbing by fog.

Just put in FOW_RevealAll into the console ^_^

Its ctrl+shift+` to bring up the console. Also that command is cap sensitive.


You can also put that into each "map name.scar"

FOW_RevealAll do not remove that kind of fog I mentioned. FOW_RevealAll only removes shadowed area on the map.

[WatZ]

Youre thinking of FOW_Toggle. Try it out ;)

[djukel]

Ok. FOW_RevealAll removes shadowed area on the map and make every unit visible. FOW_Toggle removes/backups shadowed area on the map. None of them can handle fog than come from zoom out problem. Believe me.:)

thanks for the replies so far, I'll try it tonight. Still hope there is going to be a mod like DoW though :)

I saw someone had modified the camera.lua file and dropped into the COH data dir. Then they added -dev to their shortcut.

I extracted mine from the tools but couldn't get that to work so I edited it directly and as my predecessor did.

I made more drastic mods to mine and then created a separate dev shortcut

I put my default view overhead and zoomed out so I can see a large portion of the map.

I am still tweaking this but will attach my mod so others can compare and change if they wish - may be extreme for some but I was going for the 2D for default


Rename the camera.txt to camera.lua before placing in the COH\WW2\data dir

Thanks for this! It`s working fine. You just have to start the game with the "dev shortcut"
