Camera addons

Lrokor · 03-21-09, 11:20 AM

I used to have a addon that was similar to Improved Camera but that does not work anymore so is there one like what Improved Camera does? (Allowing you to zoom out furter than usuall...)

Just a simple macro will do the job for you:

/console cameradistancemaxfactor 4

thatll move the camera back VERY far - i use it in Sarth to see the whole lava zome for fire waves.
I've never used ImprovedCamera, so i dont know what other effects it does, but that is the zoom macro i use

I have that macro myself but thats not far enough away...

Then make the value 5.

Another CVar you will want to play with is CameraDistanceMax.

I only change the one:

/console CameraDistanceMax 50

I find that to be good enough for me. Take note 50 is the maximum value tolerated by this CVar and attempts to go further must be done with the multiplier specified earlier.

I made the macro you specified above, and changed the value from 4 to 5. But I noticed no change in camera distance.

Using that macro I can zoom out very far, so that I can hardly see my own character. It's hard to believe that this could not be enough for anyone.

As far as i know some camera variables were changed in 3.3. Any idea how the above console commands should look like now?

Cheers.

Code:

/console cameradistancemaxfactor 4
/console CameraDistanceMax 50

That's the maximum. The only situation you can zoom out even FURTHER is when you're drunk.

An example of fully being zoomed out and drunk.

Is that the new UI design?

Adding to all this camera stuff... Is there a way to adjust the camera base vertical position? So that our character isn't smack in the middle of the screen but perhaps a touch towards the bottom?

Nope.

This is something I've wanted for a bit.

Nah it's called an "old picture".

If anyone's been keeping track, I've been doing mass updates on my projects as of late. Since it seems no one can suggest an actual addon to do these things (for those who don't want another macro), I plan to add this feature to Dynamic Camera in the near future. Most likely by this weekend, but not before Thursday (I have an exam coming up that day).

I think I'm going to release a little mod that automaticly sets your camera distance to the max, another install and forget addon

I plan to do the whole customizable settings to go with the rest of the camera stuffs, so no clash there mate.

Got some error but the fix is ion the addon comments :P Thanks for the addon

Anyhow, this is the max range you can zoom? if i remember correctly there was a possibility a long time ago (burning crusade times i guess) where you could zoom by A LOT.
