New "cinematic" camera settings --> Description image - Empire At War Remake: Galactic Civil War mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption

I've coded a new camera with several exciting new features.

First, something that's never really used in Empire at war, you can now pan 360 degrees around ships, including up and down, without the camera shooting off the side of the map. Not a major change, but definitely nice.

Second, the "zoom" function has been changed completely. Normally when you scroll up and down the camera would move forwards and backwards in the direction you're pointing the camera. While this still happens a little bit, when you zoom now, the field of view changes between wide angle and narrow angle. The game now defaults to a more cinematic view. If you want to see more of the battle, or feel like you're not seeing enough with the narrower field of view, simply zoom out and the game'll change back to wide angle. Zooming in will create an even narrower field of view which makes for some really cool cinematic battles.

Here you can see a few screenshots showing the wide and narrower angles. All screenshots are taken without "cinematic mode", I simply removed the HUD from the screen by pressing "I". Who needs cinematic mode when your camera looks like this anyway? Panning around the battlefield has never been more epic.
