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)
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!!!!
