MaxCam
Returns the max camera distance
Slash Commands: /mc, /maxcam
Poll: What is the best max distance?
(Old video)
- (Update 9/17) in patch 7.1 the default UI slider was removed and the cvar renamed to cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor
You can also use this command instead of this addon
even if it would be bannable (its not)
i dont care, its worth all the risks... #FUCK THE NEW CAM DISTANCE
Thank alot for this addon. im sure you made milions of players happy again
First off, this is AMAZING!!! Thank you whoever did this you are an amazing person!
Second, since you seem to be a very creative type add-on enthusiast. Do you think there is a way to fix the missing terrain render when using Viewport addons like Sunnart Viewport? That would be a perfect compliment to this, now mandatory, addon :)
What is being done here is something that is going to be fixed. It's calling a function that is normally used to zoom in with a negative value. It wasn't expecting to be called with such a value. The complimenting function that takes a positive value is already respecting the new max camera distance. Either this function will be modified to not accept negative values, or it will be modified to respect the max distance when passed a negative value.
The viewport terrain thing is on a completely different level than what is being done by this addon. Whatever is modifying the viewport aspect ratio isn't changing the aspect ratio used by the culling code. I doubt we have access to that through addons.
is that banable?
merci is the best addon ever of world of warcraft
Alles bestens echt super klappt auch alles .
weiter so
Yeah, this also isn't working for me. The interface pops up but the numbered distance doesn't change when I zoom in and out and the distance doesn't exceed default max. This occurs without any addons turned on as well.
Omg! It works! I just haven't been able to get into the game since patch day. I play at 2560x1600 resolution. Having everything zoomed in like a 1080p monitor looked terrible. Thanks!
So - it doesn't work for me. /mc brings up the slider window, but it doesn't change the camera behavior. Which is odd. /run MoveViewInStart() with a negative argument, as this seems to be using, DOES work.
There's a reasonable chance that this is because I've tried every cVar and /run command under the sun to work on the camera. [Including, frustratingly, almost the key command] But I even tried removing the WTF folder, and still nothing.
Is there some known reason why this isn't working?
Thank you, now and forever, even though I'm more than sure they'll piss in all our cheerios.
I love you.
Thank youuuuuuuuuuu!
Creator of this addon, I don't know who you are, but you are the best human being in existence and history.
God bless you sir or mam. God fucking bless you.
I really hope they don't end up changing the API to break this.
Of course they will. Don't expect anything else. They made a design decision to limit the zoom, with one primary reason to get rid of addons or scripts to increase it beyond what "normal" players get access to, so they'll disable this rather quickly.
Personally I would expect it gone within a week.
That is not the reason they changed the camera. It may be what they are saying but that is flat out not the reason they changed it.
Think about it. There are some Addons which give a way way way bigger advantage than an increased camera distance. DBM, Big wigs, Weak Auras all give huge advantages over someone who doesn't have them. For pretty much all organised raiding you are required to have a boss mod. For the mid - top end you are required to have Weak Auras.
No one requires you to have a increased camera range. Some people are fine with the current maximum whereas other people. Mostly tanks need the increase camera to actually play to some decent degree. Tanking Mannororth is a nightmare and from looking at the models in the beta they are not toning down on enemy sizes to account for the zoomed in camera.
If they remove/ break this addon and don't change their reasoning they should remove boss mods and Weak Auras.
You are the best EVER!!!!
You're my hero
You are the hero World of Warcraft needed
