question about zoom levels

[littbarski]

hello,

and one more question already. I asked this also before at Simtropolis but not many people will have seen it probably.

In general the zoom works great in Banished, but it there any chance to zoom a level more than vanilla, so that it is (when you just want it for fun) a little bit closer?

I have also tried a bit with the Mod Toolkit but did not find any setting for the zoom.
Beside the additional zoom level it also would be nice to have the persons and animals disabled in a far distance view, but this is probably more complicated.

There is a Zoom Hack that can be used.

Here is one solution to make Cheat Engine work

It does not matter which one you use, they do the same thing.
Too bad the pictures won't show in the description.

Be well

thank you very much. As it is session based this is not something we probably will use in our family

It is not something that is needed.
I use it only to get some different angles on pictures.



It may be too cumbersome for daily use.

I copied Paeng's tutorial from his old site over to simtropolis as a backup

those are vert handy but you will have to reset them everytime you play the game. the game does not save the settings.
