[Is there a mod to zoom the camera out?]

Yeah, both INI files. I thought I said that. They're clean files from a clean install, and no the game isn't on C:. I haven't defined anything else.

[Is there a mod to zoom the camera out?]

I edited the right INIs for EU. I copied the pitch control thing exactly.

 

in the My games...XcomInput.ini under XComGame.XComTacticalInput

 

Bindings=(Name="Pitch1",Command="setoverheadcameraparameters 90 1000 -90 | SetBind F2 Pitch2")
Bindings=(Name="Pitch2",Command="setoverheadcameraparameters 90 1000 -45 | SetBind F2 Pitch3")
Bindings=(Name="Pitch3",Command="setoverheadcameraparameters 90 1000 -30 | SetBind F2 Pitch4")
Bindings=(Name="Pitch4",Command="setoverheadcameraparameters 90 1000 -5 | SetBind F2 Pitch1")
Bindings=(Name="F2" Command="Pitch1")

What file did you modify? Did you bother to read the "Keybind Commands" article, especially where it cautions you:

 

Also bear in mind that if you have any DLCs installed, copies of various "default" INI files are made in the My Games folder tree, but begin with "XCom" instead of "Default" (as in XComInput.ini instead of DefaultInput.ini). While they normally are updated automatically when you change the "Default" versions, you may need to update these files manually as well if your key bindings don't seem to "take".

 

 

That article has a number of details you need to pay attention to. The DIY article never covers those details, which is why it links to the pertinent key article.

 

I need more detail on what you did (as opposed to what you were instructed to do) to be able to see if you misinterpreted anything. For instance, were you trying to do this for EU or EW? What patch level are you on?

I tried putting that s*** in both the config files for EU in the tacticalinput section as the page shows. No effect. I'm using whatever the current version is straight from Steam. Why the hell would anyone use anything less?

[Is there a mod to zoom the camera out?]

What doesn't seem to be working? The "keybind" command or the control you are binding, or the result isn't what you expect? The functionality does work, so it must be something in the implementation that's wrong.

I tried the exact pitch control thing you linked. It had no effect.

[Is there a mod to zoom the camera out?]

Yeah, that doesn't seem to be working :(

[Is there a mod to zoom the camera out?]

Take a look at "Pitch control" in the "How to DIY common mod solutions" wiki article.

Ah. Sounds good. Thanks

[Looking for a simple tool to pack/unpack saves for Xcom EU/EW]

Well, hopefully someone makes this type of tool for Xcom 2, because I'll get to that once I rebuild my gaming rig.

[Is there a mod to zoom the camera out?]

... explain? my issue is the fact that it is irritatingly hard to place people on raised locations not the height at which i can zoom.

 

I don't like having to move the damn thing around so much. Trying to move characters and constantly not being able to see both them and where they can move to or target. I just want it zoomed out.

[Is there a mod to zoom the camera out?]

I can't be the first person to think it's annoying as is.

[Looking for a simple tool to pack/unpack saves for Xcom EU/EW]

What we have on the subject can be found in the article "Savegame file format". Oddly enough, there was never that much interest in that area here.

Seriously. Nobody could be bothered to actually write the tool to do it? I'm a game hacker from the N64 era. MIPS assembly and hex editing are fun for me. I even wrote my own gameshark code creation tools, MIPS assembler/disassembler, and co-wrote a tool for PS2 hacking. I don't do compression and checksums! :sad:

 

Is it just one extra checksum beyond what Fairchild's Xbox 360 tool does? and does that cover everything for the current version (complete edition)?

[Looking for a simple tool to pack/unpack saves for Xcom EU/EW]

I recently picked up the complete edition of this, and I'm looking to hex edit my save data when I get started. I played Xcom EU on Xbox 360, and there was simple command line tool to unpack and repack the save data that also fixed the checksum, etc. I'm looking for a current tool like that which will work for the steam version of EU+EW with all the DLC.
