Is it possible to make the battle camera go up higher?

[mrtwisties]

I was so excited.

But I had a poke through the preferences.txt, and then through the forum postings about preferences.txt. I haven't found anything like max or min zoom settings.

I'm wondering whether I could script some sort of camera bookmarks...

Hmm, IDK. Sorry for giving you false hope.

Hi mrtwisties,
Maybe this is what you're looking for : into preferences.txt, find the line CAMERA_FOV:75.000000 (or whathever the number here is). This controls the battle camera zoom out. Mine is set to 85.000000, so further than vanilla. I don't even remember what it originaly looked like...

Thanks for the tip mate!

TiFlo, I could kiss you. Looks like the camera_fov setting changes the field of view, or the angle at which you look at things. Putting it over 180, for example, puts your field of vision upside down.

You're welcome !

Is there any way of making this go below head hight? It's not a major issue, but when I'm brave enough to use general cam, it irks me that I'm actually seeing things like he would if he stood on the horse's back like a circus act.
