Camera issues. Help

[inductile]

I found something new today, which seems to be part of every "map" file. I mean the file, included with every map, that's simply called "map" without an extension. You can find these files in the map.pak. Find this section:

{Clips
{"[auto]"
{world -4431.1 -6261.1 418.897 8148.9}
{camera -4100 -4800 100 7300}
{pather -3900 -4600 -100 7100}
{distance 200 850}
{viewAngle 20 50}
{water -10}
}
}

Edit the higher value of {distance 200 850} and change it to i.e. {distance 200 2500} and you'll be able to zoom the camera out quite far! I didn't notice any problems with fog or anything else by altering this value. I noticed that the camera zoom speed is a bit slow by default for zooming out all the way like that. I don't know where to change that though. Good luck!

Nice art by the way, I don't draw that well

yes, map camera limits are defined PER map, as opposed to hardcoded into the game. this includes height limits

so just edit every map with inductile's fix and you should be fine.

Be warned, though, the higher the camera, the laggier it can get.
