MaxCam
Returns the max camera distance
Slash Commands: /mc, /maxcam
(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 (in Classic)
Uninstalling since Blizzard fixed the API bug on live-side today, but thank you so much for having made this addon. I was able to have an easier time in old raids, such as Hyjal Summit, and take screenshots that I never could have done otherwise.
RIP MaxCam ( ;_ ;)7
WOW they managed to fuck up maxcam :| doesnt work anymore so im stick with the shitty distance again TY BLIZZ
It has been known that Blizzard was going to fix the exploit. The addon author even updated the mod to disable itself once it was fixed.
the console command was NOT an exploit!!!!!
I updated FasterCamera for cameraDistanceMaxFactor 2.6
Not sure what to do with MaxCam
saved my life, then blizz will ruin it.
most retarded thing. All HAIL MAXCAM
Posted an Imgur album on Reddit of the shots I was able to get with this addon. It was truly a pleasure being able to see raids in a different way with MaxCam!

I too would like the addon to not disable but to control the functions it does now within the limits WoW API allows..
I find it very convenient to be able to adjust not only the camera distance but also the Zoom Increment and Speed and to see the distance I am currently set at..
All this with having the broker so I can have it in my broker bar..
Great Addon really helped (FIXED) with my getting sick while playing so Bless You
Edit: I just saw you had FasterCamera.. but it seems to not have a Max Camera Distance or Distance= will it have this in a future? If so I am fine with moving over to that.. I like that it has a Defaults button to reset to defaults
Sorry for the late response, I actually removed the defaults button since it's only 3 options. It looks much nicer without it
This addon will only work until August 30.
After legion comes out, the cam will be fixed. [confirmed]
Do you have any source or link when it will be hotfixed? I can't find anything
Since it is already hotfixed on the beta I would assume it would be coming with Tuesday's (August 9) release of demon hunters.
Are you planning instead of disabling this addon, to instead load the console variable of cameraDistanceMaxFactor 2.6 at logon so people can have the max distance? On beta it defaults back to 1.9 when you reload or relog so it would require either manually entering it or having it load at player login each time
I'm still considering, it feels strange why they couldn't just add it to the Blizzard slider instead of the console command (unless it has something to do with that cvar defaulting/capping back to 1.9)
But if I'd do that, instead of self disabling the addon once the hotfix arrives, I'm wondering if it's better to do this in MaxCam or in FasterCamera. Both are essentially the same addon now after the hotfix
(Edit) DynamicCam can also change the zoom distance and speed, for anyone who prefers the (currently disabled) action cam effects

I suspect that the instant popularity of this addon helped convince the WoW devs to compromise on zoom distance. If so, you really made a difference in people's ability to enjoy the game. Thank you. /salute
thanks for the addon i enjoyed every second of the game this addon made possible on beta realms you can use "/console cameraDistanceMaxFactor 2.6"
blizzard is such a little bitch about that topic. it would be sooooo easy. create certain points in the world and ajust the max camera level so it scales down smoothly when coming near that points and place such points at every situation you think the camera exploids something and let the rest of the world watch. even further they could detatch the camera and make a free camera to begin with a specatator mode like record demo play demo demo2avi stuff like that setting up waypoints like malu05 did with his advanced camera giving people power over day time and weather for god sakes publish the damn world editor and let people create .. give everyone his own space to build in and call that the garrison that would be real housing. im getting carried away here :) thanks for the addon cheers
Ketho.. the hero we need but not the one we deserve.
Seems broken on beta. won't zoom out.
it is becaus blizzard have fixed this exploit bug on the beta realms, and this addon will not work when legion goes live
on beta you can use this "/console cameraDistanceMaxFactor 2.6" to check how far you can zoom out :)
