Camera Distance Modification - Zoom WAY out

[JackBurton]

Tweaking camera's is something i've been putting off but realy should be hitting next.

[MiRai]

SET cameraDistanceMax "250"

The 250 one is for when I wanna be silly.

I'm pretty sure that the hard limit on cameraDistanceMax these days is 30.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Let me rephrase that...

I'm pretty sure that the hard limit via the console command or the config file these days is 30.

FYI, the camera settings in config.wtf mentioned above work without this mod, in case anyone was wondering.

[edit] Wow, this stuff is the bomb. Add this to your targeted AoE macro (or your follow macro):

/script SetView("2");

Replace 2 with whichever you like for your default.

I found a post by Ualaa a few days back where he discovered how to bind a LMB to a keyboard key. I think he arbitraliy picked ; because there was little to no chance of it being accidentaly hit. anyone know that forum thread? I need to scour my history file.

So how do you guys mold your five views and for what purpose?

Camera1 First person - For flying and swiming, best used along with jamba strobe since you cant see your slaves anymore
Camera2 Up Close - Point Blank Targetable AoE & World items that IWT wont work on ie. mining nodes, wanted posters etc...
Camera3 Slave Aimed Targeted Ground Spells. With slaves 5 to 10 units behind master i have this camera synched to mouse click as close to whatever the master's mouse is hovering over.
Camera4 Master Aimed Targeted Ground Spells. Mastger aims with this window situated so that the top bottom left and right is the farthest i can actually reach with my click based AoE spells.
Camera5 Driver's view deep wide view for master only. Ideal distance so toons following behing can be still seen. right and left border distance is far enough so that i can see toons 30 units away shooting at the mobs. considering im the tank right next to the mobs im taunting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...=MWsOCseUEIc#!

I know the thread you're talking about.
Pretty sure it was Ellay and not me...

It was to do with setting the ; key to do the equivalent of a left click, specifically for the Death Knights 'Death & Decay' spell.
There was a change camera angle, so you were looking straight down, and a left click would be right on top of your toons no matter where it was actually clicked.

The new forum style is not letting me search for posts by a specific person.
That's how I found it last time.
It was either:
a) Threads started by Ellay, that included Death Knight
b) Threads started by Ellay, that included Death & Decay
c) Threads started by Ellay, that included DK
But cannot search that way now.
And doing an advanced search, with Threads by Ellay shows no posts.

Could dig through post history, possibly...
But I'd imagine he has had a lot of posts.

I'll post a screenie when I get home tonight. I can't zoom to 250 anymore but it's definitely longer than 30.

Thanks Ualaa your a God.

Through some testing, 50 appears to be the max distance now (patch 4.3.4).

Camera settings I used:

SET cameraDistanceA "15"
SET cameraPitchA "30"
SET cameraYawA "0"
SET cameraDistanceB "30"
SET cameraPitchB "30"
SET cameraYawB "0"
SET cameraDistanceC "50"
SET cameraPitchC "45"
SET cameraYawC "0"
SET cameraDistanceD "50"
SET cameraPitchD "65"
SET cameraYawD "0"

View 1 (distance 15):


View 2 (distance 30):


View 3 (distance 50):
