I see the Legendary Cap Remover mod has tweaked camera values, including increased max zoom out. I want to play in a 4:3 resolution, so this appeals to me.
Does anyone know specifically where camera parameters are stored and how I would go about modifying them? I only want to increase max zoom from 45 (I think that’s the current default) to 60 or so.
Seemed easier to make a screen shot. Hopefully this answers your question.
Indeed. Thank you!
I’ve successfully created a mod that just changes the camera zoom. What I’d like to do now is instead modify the base game and the survivalmode mod to simplify things (I’d just update the gameengine.dbr with the modified max zoom distance each time the game receives an update). However, whenever I try to rebuild, I’m asked if I want to delete orphaned files. Obviously there wouldn’t be any orphaned files if I was rebuilding correctly. The game then fails to load and I have to rescan Steam cache to repair my installation.
Any idea what step I’m missing? I have consulted the modding guide.
I still have yet to attempt a complete build of GD.
I would guess you need to extract the game files, move the records and resources into your mod, build it, and then move/rename the arz to overwrite the game’s database/database.arz. I doubt that any of the arc files will build properly, so if this does even work, it will only work for a mod that merely edits the database.
But as I said, I am not sure.
Regarding the error, I get that a lot and am honestly baffled by what it is asking and what effect choosing Yes or No actually has. Even with the error, if you have all the dbrs from vanilla (plus your modded gameengine.dbr), the database.arz you end up with should be ok. It is just the arcs/resources that will be a mess.
Ugh, what a mess… Thanks for the info. How I wish there was a simple override directory so I could override the one record I’m interested in. I think using a certain table with a program I may not be allowed to mention here would be an easier approach to just increasing max zoom, and it wouldn’t require separate versions for vanilla and Crucible.
