I still cannot get my rotwk game to zoom out further I modded the gamedata.ini in "The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\ini\object" folder

I set DefaultCameraMaxHeight = 500.0

I modded the shortcut under target
lotrbfme2ep1.exe" -mod

I have tried on a variety of skirmish maps but to no avail.

Is there anything else?

It should be working.

The default camera height at the start of each game starts out as the max height, so you might not notice it since you are already at the max height and cannot zoom out.

Or otherwise, there's something wicked in the map.ini overridingthe values.

I Never managed to get the Zoom working via gamedata, Always had to edit this in the map itself.

I still can't get it to work. Has anyone successfully changed the zoom from gamedata.ini?

I don't know why, but the only map that changing the gamedata.ini settings seems to work on is one that I made. Download the map and put it in your BFME2 maps folder, see if any camera changes work on it for you as well.

Yeah, unfortunately the gamedata camera settings are extremely hit and MISS. The map settings override the gamedata settings which is why it never seems to work.

Also, you only need to use the -mod command if you want to point the game to another .big file or directory in order to load files. Since the files are loaded after the gamedata.ini is loaded, you have to do a bit of a work-around to get it to work.
