Camera View Distance

[rwacey]

Quite a few months ago I saw a topic on the official WoW forum which explained how to edit the config.wtf file to increase the max view distance of the in-game camera to longer than what is in the options menu.

Does anyone here know what this command is as I'd really like to use it for taking screenshots.

Thanks.

Meh. What were you doing for the months ? Hoping for a superman to come and tell you where it is ?

Press Escape, go Interface Options and find Maximum Camera Distance ...

No, there's a way to extend it further than the options menu settings, through the config.wtf file. There was a blue post about it quite a long time ago, though I haven't managed to find it.

bypass the 50m cap:
Unfortunately this is not possible. The 50m are hardcoded, therefore it can�t be altered by an AddOn. Anyway there is a way to trick the system.

1. Log out
2. Open WTF/Account/"User"/"Char"/camera-settings.txt
3. Change cameraDistance (f.e.: 500.000000)
4. Save the txt-file
5. Log in with the specific character

Now the previously altered distance value is loaded.
You can take beautiful pictures with this trick (Picture: if-b and bb-b). But as soon as you use the zoom-out function, the values change back to the �allowed� ones.
