heathbarr Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have my max camera setting set all the way to 100 and I have the max camera key bind set to my mouse scroll down button. My problem is it doesn't work 95% of the time. Anytime I run into something the camera zooms in then when I press the keybind to zoom out again, it doesn't zoom out all the way. The only time it goes back to zooming all the way out is randomly after I get off an elevator, speeder or something like that. Am I doing something wrong or is there a trick to get the keybind to actually work? This is getting really frustrating since I can't see who is behind me in PvP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakeNBakeUK Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 If there is an obstacle behind you e.g. a wall, the camera will be forced to zoom in, because it does not go through the wall. Camera's have been like this in games pretty much since 3-D games were invented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathbarr Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 That's not what I'm talking about. I can be in an open area, with nothing behind me blocking the camera from moving out and it still won't zoom out all the way. I've played many MMO's so I'm familiar with how 3D games work. The max camera distance in Wow was pretty huge but I can't seem to get the camera to zoom out anywhere close to that in swtor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakeNBakeUK Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 hm dunno then. maybe the keybind is broken or something like you said. i have no problems with zooming out to the max distance using the regular mouse scroll, and it zooms out way further than WoW imo. it only zooms in for me when the camera gets blocked, or if i tell it too. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Anf Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Is there a way to turn off mouse scroll zooming? Also my mx distance doesn't seem far enough can I alter that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adric_the_Red Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Is there a way to turn off mouse scroll zooming? Preferences/Keybinds tab/Camera Click on the binding for Zoom in (by default bound to "Mouse Wheel Up") then click the "unbind" button in the popup. Do the same for Zoom Out. Also my mx distance doesn't seem far enough can I alter that?Preferences/Game tab/Controls/Camera Adjust the Camera Max Distance slider to whatever suits. Be sure to click Apply or OK before closing the Preferences window, to save your changes. Edited February 17, 2015 by Adric_the_Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshlaBoga Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Instructions from a Vicious Guild Officer. C:\Users\YourProfileName\AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings Then find the file named: LoginName_Account.ini and open it. For example, if your login name is DarkSithx then the file will be DarthSithx_Account.ini. After opening the file look for the line that says: Controls_CameraMaxDistance = 25.0 Change that 25.0 to something else like 75.0. Don’t take the .0 off at the end. This will not affect an open client. Example of a mere 70.0 Edited February 19, 2015 by AshlaBoga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
