Increasing your camera distance

[nightcracker]

This must have been posted a LOT of times before, still I'm going to post this because there are too many people unaware of this.

There is a slider under "Video Options" in the game menu to alter your camera distance. This however doesn't give the full potential of camera distance possible. By just running one macro or installing one addon you can zoom out further then ever before!

So, there are 2 options. Either you install my addon ncCamera or you can run this macro:

/run SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax", 50) SetCVar("CameraDistanceMaxFactor", 3.4)

Done!

And just another random macro, you can also make the zooming out/in instant instead of that slow zooming animation with the following macro(maybe useful for bots?):

/run SetCVar("cameraDistanceMoveSpeed", 50) SetCVar("cameraDistanceSmoothSpeed", 50)

Ye. Pretty nonsense to post a repost when you know it.

[wouterflip]

well, i didnt know it. Thx

I have heard of the camera distance macro here before, but not the zoom speed one, thanks xD

Or " /console cameradistancemaxfactor 8 " In chat

Or " /console cameradistancemaxfactor 8 " In chat

Please don't post if you don't know what you are talking about. 3.4 is the max for the factor, and it's already included in my script.

/run SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax", 50) SetCVar("CameraDistanceMaxFactor", 3.4)

It's actually 4 iirc

[chrissybaby]

Awesome, thx man

[nightcracker]

It's actually 4 iirc

Then you didn't read correctly

It's 3.4.

EDIT: I did some more testing and it seems CameraDistanceMaxFactor is completely deprecated.

well you dont know what you are talking about if you use the simplest one witch is "/console cameradistancemaxfactor X" your max is 50 not 3,4 or 4 as the WoW interface lets you use "5" BUT be aware if you use over 10 on this macro it can couse game crashes.

and for the acuall question i wanted to ask you macro ppl when i used my macro: /console cameradistancemaxfactor <4> /run SetCVar('CameraDistanceMaxFactor','4'); Camera Zoom Out('255') as auto zoomed in to my face of the char and now its stuck and looks like a first person game :/ please help me see what did go wrong there

1) I just tried it, doesn't affect my char/account at all, and well, it doesnt work at all, it does nothing it seems.

2) Good job necroing a three year old thread.
