The game has a zoom level seperate from the camera position that allows proper Hor +.

However I cannot get any new distances to take in the ini file at this time. But you can see an example by using temporary shortcut keys.

Ctrl+PageDown increases the zoom by a set amount giving you Hor + and some Vert + depending on where you stop.

Here are some shots. The game adjusts the camera slightly in different resolutions. Like you bumped your mouse a little. :D



1600x1200




1920x1200 Regular (Vert -)



1920x1200 Zoom Out 1 Level



1920x1200 Zoom Out level 2



This is not really useful for gaming at the moment. I will do a reinstall and try before applying different patches to see if I can get any changes to register.

Just wanted to share. If anyone knows about the options.ini...

; Camera focal length
CameraZoom=600

; Camera distance from Avatar
CameraDistance=400


Please feel free to share yourself.

If any triplehead users have this try Ctrl+Delete. 8)

Unless there's a way to increase the FOV by a precise amount so as to achieve hor + regardless of the ingame camera position, then I think we'd better consider Ultima IX to be vert - as far as the MGL goes.

I am trying to get the default camera zoom level to change.

Basically if it loads up Hor + and stays Hor + then it can be useful.

These things tend to have fragile lifecycles but there are always exceptions.

Neat to look at at least.

Neat. But the "immersive original story" thing bothers me a little. I get the funny idea that if this project sees the light of day, it will basically be bad fan-fiction. I'd much rather it say "Bob White plot."
