I'm trying to set the camera height for C&C Generals on my 2560x1600 monitor using Windows 8.
I figured that you need to extract the .ini files in the INI.big file.
I did that, but no changes I make to the .ini files have any effect.
Everything is still controlled by Options.ini in my documents folder.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

File: Data/INI/GameData.ini
(has to be extracted to those folders in generals/ZH directory)
look for these:
CameraPitch = 37.5
CameraYaw = 0.0
CameraHeight = 232.0
MaxCameraHeight = 310.0
MinCameraHeight = 120.0
I assume you already run the game at 2560x1600 by editing options.ini

I changed CameraHeight to 500. MaxCameraHeight to 800. MinCameraHeight to 300. And yet, there is no difference. Also, the GameData.ini file has parameters for resolution in it, as well. I set those to 1920x1200 so I could tell if it takes effect, but it's still 2560x1600. The game is unplayable without the camera height, so I don't know what to do.. And just to clarify, I'm playing Generals, not Zero Hour. Edited by user Saturday, December 20, 2014 12:13:09 PM(UTC)

Why would you change camera height like this anyway? Just wondering. Anyway, I don't think this is something that should be changed like this to begin with, you can switch around camera height, angles, etc, with scripting in a map. Though the player can always reset the camera by pressing the mousewheel. Edited by user Sunday, December 21, 2014 2:17:34 PM(UTC)

I tried Gentool but it only allows you to change it in a replay, which doesn't help me at all. But the real question is why don't the .ini files work?

Oh... I see. I never knew that, huh.
In a map, you can script the camera to change its zoom level to whatever you want, but if the player zooms in at all he can't change it back to the extra-far zoom or anything.
I would check the file location like Klingon said. if they're in the wrong directory, they do nothing. |

What is the FULL directory you are putting these files in?
And what operating system are you using? |
If you need help, post in the forum. You'll get help a lot faster than if you send me a PM.

The file location is fine
If all you have done is change the numbers in gamedata it should work
Try it without options and see what happens |

Try it without options and see what happens Removing Options.ini does nothing. It just starts the game at 800x600 and creates a new Options.ini file.
