ZoomMapMod mod for C&C: Tiberium Wars

Do you want to zoom out more? Are you constantly pissed by the in your face camera view? You did play Supreme Commander and now you whine like a little baby? Then this mod is for you.

Yes dear chumps, chaps, dudes, lads, men, guys and folks it's here, the zoom out more mod for Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars. Be thank full, since every single map caries the information about Max Zoom separately and thus every single map had to be tweaked by yours truly - Captain Zoom. You don't owe me nothing, but you sure as hell owe that threatening letter to Westwood (EA) for this "inconvenience".

The mod is added via the COMMAND & CONQUER 3 TIBERIUM WARS CONTROL CENTER, which is a very convenient and the only right way how to add mods to the game. That way it doesn't mess up your game and can be used only when needed.

Partialy Important Notes:

• It works only with the original Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars or the limited Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Kane Edition (not Kane's Wrath that's an expansion with its own maps!!!).
• Requires patch 1.07 or higher (Clever people know how to make it work with or without any patch, I'm too lazy to describe this simplistic procedure, maybe later /if ever/)
• Since the game saves carry the Max Zoom data you can't load old saves and expect them to zoom out more! You must play new games or load from "theatre saves" (those are the parts of the game where you stare at the global maps with next mission points highlighted)
• Multiplayer works only to/with those who have the mod active
• You WILL see the edges of the tiny cramped maps
• You should realize that the pitch of the camera will change more since there is more value to zoom-in and since pitch is incremented with zoom the max zoom-in pitch will be significantly more than previously experienced

How to play the game with the mod:

1. List the "Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars Control Center" in your Start menu (Yes, you installed it with your game)
2. Click the "Game Browser" button (second from left)
3. On the next dialog open the "Mods" tab
4. You should see the "ZoomMapMod 1.0" in the list, select it
5. Click the "Launch Game" button on bottom left

If all fails:
make sure the files ZoomMapMod.big and ZoomMapMod_1.0.SkuDef are in this kind of folder
"c:\Documents and Settings\(username)\My Documents\Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\mods\ZoomMapMod"

How to uninstall the mod:
you can play the game without the mod even when it is installed. Simply deselect it in the "Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars Control Center" (see above)

If you want to get rid of it completely all you have to do is delete the folder ZoomMapMod with the files ZoomMapMod.big and ZoomMapMod_1.0.SkuDef which should be located in a place like this: "c:\Documents and Settings\(username)\My Documents\Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\mods\"

Enzooming you made everything right, all should work fine.

Flat out yours
