Okay zooming in all the way is really easy to set up. No idea yet if it causes OSS problems, but here it is.
Open up AOE3/Startup/game.cfg and see lines 191 - 198:
limitPitch=47
maxZoom=60
normalZoom=50
minZoom=29
extraZoomPercent=0.15
zoomSpeed=0.5
zoomWheelDivisor=30.0
I changed it to:
limitPitch=47
maxZoom=600
normalZoom=50
minZoom=5
extraZoomPercent=0.15
zoomSpeed=0.5
zoomWheelDivisor=30.0
With that new game.cfg I was able to zoom in all the way, both in the game, and in the editor. Oddly the damn thing won't let me zoom out to 600 according to my new .cfg file - it only goes to its default. Must explore more..and next thing to figure out is pitch and confirm whether messing with the .cfg file causes OSS issues.
LOL, yeah, the units don't hold up under really close scrutiny. Anyone played the remaining scenarios in the campaign? Any low camera angles, and any skyboxes?
