Unfortunately, when you load a saved skirmish, the mod is no longer applied. :(

I am pretty sure if you use a similar mod in COH3 and then save ,the zoom stays when you open up your save. Maybe time to check out the new COH3 as well -just wait for the next sale.

Why when i save my skirmish against AI, and then when i open the save, the zoom out is gone ?

When I save a Skirmish against the Ai.
And then load the game ,my Zoom is gone.

Any way for me to solve this?

Hi Raz. Your mod has been indispensable for CoH2 play! Will you be making a version for CoH3 at launch?

With the upcoming release of Company of Heroes 3, I am going to stop maintaining this mod.

@GaborHart It still works for Skirmishes, but I don't believe it works for multiplayer anymore.

Online multiplayer working?

@Raz they disappear but only at the upper edge of the screen, probably has something to do with their drawing distance being too low to compensate for the increased zoom distance.

@Long Johnson If I'm understanding your issue do you mean that shadows disappear if you zoom out too far? You could try lowering the Shadow quality one quality setting, lowering the Shader quality one quality setting, or disabling Anti-Aliasing, if it's enabled - see if any of those help. I hope this helps!

If that doesn't resolve it then it may be a bug with the mod on some some maps or it could also be a bug in the game engine itself.

Hi, maybe I'm missing something obvious, but how do I avoid the shadow fading being visible when I'm zoomed out? As far as I know my graphics are maxed out and I can still see the region where the shadow disappears, which is very distracting. Is there anyway this can be avoided? Thanks for the mod, BTW!

@moterito It depends on whether or not the Spearhead mod modifies victory conditions, as that is the portion of code that the Zoom Out More mod has to exist in. From a quick look, it doesn't seem like Spearhead is doing that, so the two mods may work if installed together.

This mod could be consolidated with nearly any other mod, but other mod developers would need to incorporate my changes into their files, otherwise one would simply overwrite the other.

Any way to use with Spearhead or other mods? thx for you job!

is it possible to play online

Yeah, as of now multiplayer skirmish does not work, even if downloaded independently. Would be cool if that could get fixed. I've stopped using the mod now that I play with friends online, too much of a shock to go back and forth between zoom and unzoomed. love the mod though and thanks for all your hard work!!

Somehow it doesn´t work anymore for us

@Scoopsiedaisy The mod should work in multiplayer skirmish matches unless something has broken since I last updated it. I would recommend that all players in the match download the mod independently, as I'm not sure whether mods can be automatically downloaded from the host.

Has anyone tried this with a friend. Does it work with multiplayer?

I really love this mod, but the camera unzoom function is reset after i load a save.
Does anybody have the same issue? Can someone tell me how to fix this?

@003skar98 I'm sorry if the mod does not meet your expectations - there may be others that enable a higher level of zoom.

I determined that this was the maximum zoom level that can be achieved without causing clipping issues on the camera, which can result in unusual visual artifacts and flashing onscreen. As to not cause these undesirable behaviors, I chose to deliberately limit the zoom level.

I love your mod. Really nice. Thank you

so little zoom

@003skar98 So little, what, exactly?

so little?

That's really bizarre - I wonder why the game is built that way

@Edguy616 additional victory conditions are required to be defined due to how the zoom mod is created. If the additional options were not included, the mod would inadvertently force a particular victory condition every time you played a Skirmish.

This is a limitation of the modding tools available for the game.

This seems good, but what's the whole victory condition thing? I mean, doesn't this just change the camera zoom level?

@shabamalamabad you aren't stuck at 750 victory points, you can change it between 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, as stated in the description.

"Please note: while all of the following victory point options exist, you will only ever see three shown at one time. After clicking on the Victory Points drop-down menu, you scroll with your mouse wheel to see the the other options."

so with this mod i cant change pop cap and im stuck to 750 victory points, its nice i like the zoom but the other features are not worth giving up in my opinion

:0

yes

Many thanks RAZ and, many thanks to Modders like you that work for our pleasure.
Sincerely

@Porsenna I think it will only work in Skirmish mode. Apologies, I'm not sure how to get it working in the campaign.

Hi Raz... probably I'm a monkey but I have a question:
your MOD (zoom) works in Campaign Mode or only in Skirmish mode?
Sorry for the silly question but I tried several times your mod and I cannot see it working (I have an iMac 2020 year)

Needs 200 pop cap added

@tofe2022 You can use this mod in Multiplayer within Skirmish/Custom games. It will not work during online matchmaking.

@Richard Simmons I'm sure it can be done. When I have time to update the mod, I'll do so.

Could you add a population limit increase to 500 and 1000?

Can i play this mod with Multiplayer

Thank you so much :) I love your mod, it's a Christmas gift for me :)

@MetalTrombone and @Commander Soubi

I've added the Annihilation game mode - it's available as a separate selection under the Win Conditions selection on the Skirmish Options screen.

Thanks for the suggestion, and happy holidays!

If you want Annihilation without Victory Points, I can see about adding it to the mo > I am really interessed too // Thank you for your amazing mod !!!

I was talking about Annihilation without VP, yes

@MetalTrombone - the game modes currently included in the mod have both Annihilation and Victory Points as active win conditions, meaning you can win by completing either objective during the course of a game.

If you want Annihilation without Victory Points, I can see about adding it to the mod.

Is there a way to add Annihilation?

Thanks so much!

The other zoom out mods I've tried have often been problematic or don't play well with other Tuning Pack mods (e.g. All Units). This works beautifully and the VP options are a nice bonus.

Also, the amount of extra zoom feel right. Enough to be useful but no too much (Cheat Commands).

Cheers!

awesome

Thank you!
