SH3 mini tweaker and peri zoom

lumat83 · 09-21-06, 09:46 AM

Hello !!

I'm using GW mod and it's very difficult for me to identifying targets.

In fact I would like to increase the periscope zoom. I've installed SH3 mini tweaker and increased the unknown value 2 to 10 (periscope optical section only) like in the post http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=46848 but in the game I don't see my modifications. So, I've tried to increase to 20 but it's the same thing

)
I use sh3commander, is it the cause of this problem ?

I know there is a mod "camerazoom.rar" but the link doesn't work now. Maybe Anybody has the file ?

Thanks for help guys

Hi,

First you did roll back SH3C, just to be safe.

Second, (from the thread link in your post)

'..it makes a backup of the DAT file. The new settings will not take affect until you remove the backup.'

The backup and new DAT file is located in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\Data\Library

n.b to revert to the original zoom just rename the backup to cameras.dat(IIRC) and paste back to the above location.

Thats about all I can think of.

Hope it helps

To have 10x you can without any mods.
Write into commands_en.cfg next (red):

[Cmd70]
Name=Cam_zoom_in
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x05,cR,"CTRL M.wheel"

Mouse Wheel with Ctrl key
20x is bad - artefacts.

Ok, I have been trying to change the peri zoom in GW myself for sometime using minitweaker, and can't get it to work either. If anyone could specify which values need to be changed in the tweaker that would be great.

btw, how does changing a hotkey change the peri zoom level?!!

Thanks you, all

I've removed the backup file in data/library folder and all works correctly now
