Zoom out range addon

I know, a rather small subject to make a topic on, but I hope you guys dont mind.
I think I remember oTweaks (if that was the name?) having a functionality to increase your zoom out range. Anyone happen to know what happened to that addon?

As far as I remember they hardcoded the camera range into the game files, so it no longer runs exclusively off the config file like it did before. You can still manually set it via changing the file, but when ever you log out it'll reset it and you'll have to go change it again.

I suppose this is where the addon helped, since I remember using the addon in 2.0.3 (when I quit wow) and it worked perfectly. Something changed since then?

That's news to me then... I know they had the addon working a long time ago, then there was a long period of time where it didn't, and I'd thought the reasoning was that Blizzard disabled the functionality the mod used.

Dunno, that's cool if it works.

Oops, fixed the link. (but didnt get the chance to test the functionality yet, feeling pretty confident on it though)

This is what you're after.

Works perfectly in 2.0.

If you really need more than 50 (which is MILES), there are instructions on the page.

I've used oTweaks for a few months having it zoomed out all the way, works great.

You can accomplish this yourself pretty easily with the console command cameraDistanceMaxFactor. If you don't have the console enabled, simply type the following into the chat window:

/console cameraDistanceMaxFactor 4
