Regarding Camera Settings

[Ploeperpengel]

Is there a way to configure the camera to get a closer zoom ingame? I don't mean the flying cam. I want to use the regiments mod and still enable to get a close look to model details during the game.
Does anyone know?

I'm not sure because i never test that ... but i've seen some variable system that define camera distance .

you can have a list a these variable into this thread :

Uff no easy way in xml, maybe? I don't know python.

sorry , i haven't any XML skill . It's just a track because i didn't find what i 'm looking for in the variable system . I've just tried to change some variable and explain how i do this into the link . I've just check if the variable are changed and not checked in game .

you can try to change the appopriate variable into you cvEventManager at onGameStart . i think I will try right now ... but an experiented modder should give you a better advise .

Ok thx. But I better not mess around with variables I don't know what they do at all.

Ok ... I've added this line into onGameStart() (i don't know if it's the better place) but that 's seem to work without problem :

CyVariableSystem().setValueString('CAMERA_MIN_DISTANCE','400')

Note that the original value is '700' .

Tcho !

Ah cool I will lure my Leadprogrammer into it. But still would also be interested in xml. I found a file: detailmanager. Does someone know what values there could maybe trigger a similar effect?

There is an XML value that controls this in GlobalDefines.xml: CAMERA_MIN_DISTANCE
