How do i change the zoom in BFME?

[Grim]

With World builder on each map as far as i know.
I don't remember where exactly, i did it a long time ago.

As grim said you change it in each map. Edit > Map Settings > MinHeight/ Max Height Etc.

BFME? this should be moved then, but if you mean BFME2 you can do it in Gamedata.ini

[zimoo]

I'm pretty sure you can do it with gamedata.ini in BFME1.

Where in gamedata.ini?

[zimoo]

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;These are the primary camera settings
;****CHANGING ANY OF THESE VALUES WILL AFFECT CINEMATICS*****
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	DefaultCameraMinHeight			= 120.0;The minimum height of the camera relative to the terrain.
	DefaultCameraMaxHeight			= 300.0;The maximum height of the camera relative to the terrain.
	DefaultCameraPitchAngle			= 37.5;The pitch angle of the camera off top down view.
	DefaultCameraYawAngle			= 0.0;The direction the camera faces by default.
	DefaultCameraScrollSpeedScalar	= 1.0;How much faster or slower all scrolling is.

I think that's it, although I've never edited it myself.

Thank's Zimoo.

hmm as far as i can remember, changing this in gamedata.ini did not work with me, maybe i'm wrong, maybe it works in BFME2. Can someone confirm?

[{IP}Sauron]

I will try it and i will post here if it works.

[ched]

I'm pretty sure it worked with me

[Clement]

I'm pretty sure it worked with me

And I'm sure that it worked with me, but I know that with some persons it didn't work... I don't know why

[Grim]

Ok i confirm myself it works with BFME2 & ROTWK

[{IP}Sauron]

It gives me an Game.dat error???

[Theo]

what values did you use? Aslong as you dont use stupid amounts i dont think it should crash.

[{IP}Sauron]

I've changed it to this.

DefaultCameraMinHeight			= 80.0;The minimum height of the camera relative to the terrain.
	DefaultCameraMaxHeight			= 900.0;The maximum height of the camera relative to the terrain.

Maybe the DefaultCameraMaxHeight have a to heigh value.

The height is way to high,
mine is like 450, but thats it, and it works fine...
It works in most maps, except for like fortress maps and new maps, where u have to change the values in the actual map file...
otherwise, gamedata works for everything...
and yeah... 900 is tooo much

[{IP}Sauron]

I thought so.

[Pixel]

Well i can confirm it doesnt work with either bfme1,2,rotwk for me in gamedata.ini It only works with inside the map editing. I have never actually found out what the problem is:(

[zimoo]

The -mod command doesn't read an edited gamedata.ini
