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)
@Azurfel
The value returned by GetCameraZoom doesn't indicate if the camera is colliding with something, but what it would be at when not colliding. I don't know of any workarounds or a better way to move the camera when colliding
But it indeed would be nice if it didn't jump from behind an obstruction to 1000 yards in the sky
I love you Ketho! Never give up on better camera distance, some people need it. And people that do not need it ... stfu
If Blizz really think it gives 'unfair' advantage in PvP they should block it ... in PvP!!! Also they should add this to their own UI slider so EVERYONE could use it!!!
Consider this a Like button!
@Ketho, Thank you for this addon!
OMG ty! May the new gods and old gods bestow sex upon you every night!
I just made an account here for the sole purpose of saying "THANK YOU, YOU ARE AMAZING THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY SOUL!!!"
I'm not one of those significantly effected by the 7.0 zoom cap, but well done!
Is there any chance the speed at which the camera zooms when coming out from behind an obstruction could be effected in a similar way to the mouselwheel zoom in this addon (ideally as a seperate setting if that were something you wanted to include)? I was hoping the zoom settings would control that, but they seem to effect only mousewheel zoom speed.
wonderful
This addon is BANABLE do not use.
If they catch someone using this to exploit they will absolutely receive a ban in line with any other ban related to exploiting unintended behaviour. Expect PvP to be where it happens.
Activision/Blizzard has publicly stated that curse add-ons are NOT bannable. Check your facts before posting such assanine accusations.
No it is not /facepalm
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!
