Question: Modding campaign map camera zoom?

[TheFra]

Has anyone ever modded the campaign map camera zoom on a warscape engine before? I'd love to increase the max height zoom on the campaign map.

I've had a look in the preferences script and apart from the debug cam on battles I can't see anything else that looks even remotely related

Oh. If someone finds how to do that I will give him +10 000 rep. I just can not play campaign because of that limited zoom scale...

I alredy changed that and playing around with camera tweaks, how far you would like to have the zoom?

[TheFra]

Nice one. What did you need todo to increase the zoom? Would love to play around with the settings. Personally I'd like to go quite far out!

[sinople]

I need proof for that ^^

Im not sure how everything works, the max zoom i get looks like on the screen.

The information is stored in the savegames too but didnt managed to change it in my savegames.

So if you want to give it a try heres a small mod, but you need to start a new campaign.

Ahh that looks a lot better. Have some rep and thanks for the reply.

Thank you so much for this! By default it's so close you don't get any sense of scale to the world - your pictures look much better. Kinda gutted it won't work with existing games. Tempted to start an Iceni and come back to Rome if/when you or another intrepid tinkerer gets it working with save games. Not sure I can rep yet, but have some in spirit.

[sinople]

Wow, thank you. +rep !

This is controlled in the scripting.lua, as it always has been, if anyone is interested.

local function OnNewCampaignStarted(context)
new_game = true
scripting.game_interface:set_zoom_limit(1.1, 0.8)
scripting.game_interface:set_map_bounds(0, 700, 900, 0)
end

That line.
