CNC Zero Hour

Hello, I recently downloaded GenTool to fix a bug that would crash my game upon alt tabbing. I found out I could window the game and have it basically be borderless windowed. My issue is, upon going into a Skirmish I discovered the camera height was extremely zoomed in. I looked in the gentool options and it appears you can only change the height in replays. Despite my .ini settings, it ignores it and still zooms in the camera. How can I fix this? I can't understand if there is no way to change the camera height even when you play by yourself.

Hmm good point. The camera height feature could be enabled in SinglePlayer someone would assume. The game does provide appropriate game states:

I don’t understand your answer Xezon, do I need to go to the INI and add these things in? Or that is should be possible but something is wrong?

This is in GenTool code. Right now the Camera Extra is only applied in Replay. I think we can also apply Camera Extra in Single Player, however I suspect it can break some of the Campaign cut scenes.

Edit: Just applied the changes and works in Skirmish.

Great, so do we have to wait for another Gentool update before we can play with different heights in skirmish?

Yes it requires an update.

Ok, now the next important question, do you have time to make that update? Or willing to?

Another thing to ask, this might makes things more complicated.
As some mods have higher heights than ZH, is it possible to set this Camera Extra so that if all players set the same height before a game then it will do the new height? If it doesn't match then it will keep the standard height?

No the GenTool height will override all other settings.

I mean through Gentool, if all players change it through Gentool before the game starts then it allows that new height.

Is technically possible but I don't think that is a good feature.

Ah ok, thanks, just a thought as when I do play mods in multiplayer I have to use the set height from Gentool, no worries, not a big loss.
Do you plan to do an update for the skirmish/challenges/missions though?
Thanks for your work whatever you decide anyway.

I did not make any decisions about GenTool updates, so I can't give you an answer.

I have a simple proposition but it will help a lot of people. When updating the GT version 7.5, add a solution to the problems facing players who can not connect with other players, and in this case you will need to develop the GT to become like a VPN to open a port and change external ip ...etc. this just suggest

How do I apply this setting? I am having camera height problems as well!

You would need to wait for the new gentool version.

Coming anytime soon?

Not within 2 months.
