Again!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok heres the deal guy's I'm 67 yrs old and among numerous other things I have really bad diabetes and my eyes are bad.. Can someone tell me if there is a way with the mini tweaker to get more magnification on the binocks and scopes? I'm really having trouble seeing in the game..I run it at 1280X960X32..I tryed lowering the resolution but the picture quality suffers....

Try with S3D (see signature).

You can change zoomlevels (incl. max zoom level) in every Optical-controller in the data\library\cameras.dat file.

The Optical-controllers are child nodes of nodes with the following name:

_Dummy_Cam_UZO
_Dummy_Cam_Obs_Periscope
_Dummy_Cam_Periscope
_Dummy_Cam_Binocular
_Dummy_Cam_AA37mmGun
_Dummy_Cam_DeckGunZoom
_Dummy_Cam_DeckGun
_Dummy_Cam_AA20mmStarbGun
_Dummy_Cam_AA20mmPortGun
_Dummy_Cam_Watch_Shears

S3D is MUCH easier than minitweaker to use and is very intuitive. Download it and give it a try, I've used it on the camera.dat file w/o a hitch.

Use the link in skwasjer's sig to go to the S3D topic and download link.
