Camera issues. Help

[inductile]

Hello again, I was digging through the game files a bit today and I found a file in the gamelogic.pak in the set\registry\ folder called camera.reg.

it has some values like these:
{camera
{perspective
{viewAngle 23}
{distance 1600}
{fov 65}
}

I tried editing the values and putting the file into a small mod, but only the "fov" value actually seems to have a lasting effect in-game though. It affects your field of vision and is 65 degrees by default. "viewAngle" is the starting angle your camera will have relative to the ground. "distance" is the starting height for the camera and does have an effect - but the camera will quickly clip back to its "maximum distance" which seems to be hardcoded or changed elsewhere.

If we can change the viewing distance permanently somehow, I noticed we also need to modify the "fog" distance for every mission as well or else everything will be fogged when you zoom out.
