Change min angled view?

[76mm]

I picked up this game with my anniversary coupon, woohoo.

When I first installed FOG2, there was a setting I could change in a file somewhere to allow me to change the camera angle more than allowed in the original game. I've since reinstalled FOG2, and now FOG2M, so would like to make this fix again--I find the default slant angle pretty annoying. Could someone remind me how to fix this? Tried searching, no luck, as usual...

Edit the Mapview text file under data.

The default looks like this:
PITCH 45
PITCHLIMIT 15 // 25
ZOOM 400
ZOOMLIMIT 1200 // 500
ZOOMINLIMIT 200 // 50
ROTATE 30
FOV 30


I've edited mine to this:
PITCH 45
PITCHLIMIT 50 // 25
ZOOM 400
ZOOMLIMIT 1200 // 200
ZOOMINLIMIT 50 // 10
ROTATE 30
FOV 30

Pitch Limit is the one that changes the camera angle parameters.

You can of course experiment to find what suits your needs.

I have changed the PITCH and PITCHLIMIT values to 23. That gives a nice camera angle for my tastes.

This thread and it's related links discuss the issue:

Thanks much, guys. And Mord, I'll also be installing your FOG2 ancients terrain mod, so thanks for that. I find the FOG-M terrain graphics rather jarring...

You're welcome. I much prefer them though I am not as violently antagonistic to the Med style as I first was LOL. Nice to have choices.

The game is 100% better IMHO with your modded viewing angles and terrain graphics. Thanks again!

Yeah, it's great being able it get the camera anywhere you want it. Makes it more immersive and even cinematic at times. I appreciate the thanks. just want to mention that Paul helped out and Adebar did a helluva a job on those winter trees and mountains, really good stuff!

Hey man, enjoy. These games are so friggin' cool.
