Hi! Tell me please, how can I edit a camera zoom in FOG2 (what file, what code)?
I want to have maximum zoom. Thanks.

Look for MAPVIEW.txt. Play with the variables.
Those commented out with \\ are sample settings with closer zoom.

Best bet is to check the modding forum but this might be of some help


Editing Data/Mapview.txt to change camera zoom and rotational limits.

PITCH - starting pitch? 90 is looking straight down.
PITCHLIMIT - a number of degrees you can rotate either side of the original starting pitch. Higher the number the great ther range you can move.
ZOOM - starting zoom level
ZOOMLIMIT - the value either side of the starting that you can zoom. works ame as pitch limit. (Confused .. seems redundant)
ZOOMINLIMIT - kind of speaks for itself. Smaller the number the closer you can zoom in . Speaking from the point of view of the artist .. if you can see pixels you're too close.
ROTATE - I think this is the starting heading of the camera (though it seems to be the opposite of what I'd expect)
FOV - Higher values give you a fish eye effect and can make you sick. Especially after strong coffee. 30-50 is ok Lower values can maybe, possibly, sometimes .. improve performance . . at least thats how it seems on my machine.

Your Mapview.txt might look something like this.
(Anything after // is ignored and we often use them to store values for later use so the values here might be of some use.)

PITCH 45
PITCHLIMIT 15 // 25
ZOOM 400
ZOOMLIMIT 1200 // 500
ZOOMINLIMIT 200 // 50
ROTATE 30
FOV 30

Thank you very much!
