Justinian Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Does anyone know how to zoom in close to characters? My zoom only goes up to what it was in the beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMac Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 You can change the default zoom limits with the console command setzoomrange [min] [max]. The default is 0.75 1.5, I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinian Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Oh, I thought it was allowed by default. How come the prelaunch streamers were able to zoom in close by default? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomTinari Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I use my mouse wheel to zoom in. Didn't have to change any settings it was automatic. I take it you don't have a scroll wheel in the center of your mouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you don't have a scroll wheel in the center of your mouse? Everyone have a mouse with scroll >.<. But it makes no difference if you use a mouse or keyboard. I tried both. The problem is that when running the game at high resolution, everything seems small, especially you can't zoom in close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not super close on their head or anything. What resolution are you guys playing at? It may only scroll in so far. Oh and not all mice have the scroll wheel on top. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I'm asking is that I can't zoom anywhere near as close to the group as the recent videos from streamers and reviews can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknoman2 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 unless i have to deal with a really messy battle and i have to zoom in to see the situation better, i keep it on full zoom out The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

Justinian Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Can someone attach a screenshot of what fully zoomed in at 1920x1080 looks like?

Brutii Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Yeah it seems like it, I do play my games at 1920 x 1200 though but I suppose that shouldn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBurns Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Do you have to use the console or is there not an .ini file that can be edited? I'd rather do that since the console use disables achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same problem with me, Justinian. All throughout the beta I thought people were just enlarging their photos compared to mine. It's slightly frustrating to have to squint and lean closer to my monitor to try and make out details like pixels between melee engagement to see if I can move or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Huh. I guess I have this issue then too. I remember/thought I could zoom more in the backer beta, actually, but the release game, full zoom in is still fairly far away. Just thought maybe they'd changed it (since I haven't been watching any videos). Curious. Do you have to use the console or is there not an .ini file that can be edited? I'd rather do that since the console use disables achievements. My understanding, from what others have said, is that opening the console itself does not, but if you use any commands the first require enabling by typing "iroll20s", that will. “Things are as they are.

So there is no .ini file line that can be edited? I generally do that to enable things like screenshots, view distance, etc. I figured the settings for ZOOM would be in there also. Note I do not have the game yet so I can not check it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
