This is an expansion pack for Battle for Middle Earth II. It adds new armies such as Arnor & Angmar and has many new expanded heroes and units. The game focuses on the Return of the Witch King to power after the fall of Sauron in the second age. In his new arrival Arnor is losing its blood and is scrabbling over Rhuadar, Arthedain and Cardolan.
Description
After loading this map once, you will have limitless zoom for all maps you start afterwards. The map hereby only deals as an agent/injector to trigger the engine bug exploit. So technically speaking it is a map but actually it's more a mod without actual mod.

Just to note that to players that this is not allowed in any C&C and BFME multiplayer as such exploit cheats like this will get you banned from playing online.
Yes please avoid using it in multiplayer (except compstomp, aod or td games in mp). It can easily be seen in the replay if someone uses it.
Note January 2022: The functionality of this zoom limit remover and much more including campaign support and 60 FPS is now also part of this next generation helper tool: SageMetaTool
(Info: Github.com) which is available here:
Patreon.com exclusively and also works with any mods.
Thank you for this "mod". When I put the settings for the 1080p, the camera was too close. With this, everthing goes well.
Can someone explain why I don't have a "maps" folder? I'm using origin on windows 10. Also, I tried to go to my registry and create UseLocalUserMaps on dword 32 bit but it did nothing. I then tried to create a maps folder right there in file explorer, nothing. Then, I tried both making UseLocalUserMaps in the registry and creating a maps folder in file explorer, and nothing. Can someone please help me!
Just make one, it works fine
This mod/script is a game-changer and I love it.. Just wondering would you be able to remove superweapons with a similar tactic?
Thank you, I appreciate your comment !
Removing superweapons with this tactic is very unlikely. For that you need an actual mod. Here is one I made for C&C TW/KW:
Moddb.com
Source code is available and could be adapted to fit BFME I + II, Red Alert 3 or C&C4; too.
Thank you for showing me, now I have the perfect mod :) Great work.
how do you install it on steam
Normal installation is as follows:
Put the map folder "!RemoveZoomLimits" for the respective game into this folder (for your case):
C:\Users\>Username<\AppData\Roaming\>GameName<\Maps
Then load the map before your play your actual game.
How do i "load" the map?
Thanks in advance
Thanks for the mod but I have a question. When you say load the game before playing your actual game, do you mean start a game on the map, then quit and start a new game on the same map?
Yes, load this map ("!RemoveZoomLimits") ingame like any other map. It automatically exits the map immediately and you will no more have a zoom limit ;)
is there a way to remove the fog? BFME2
Not yet. The fog is a map specific thing. Some maps don't have fog at all.
New version 1.3 - fog can optionally be removed.
So where does one put the "Optional-NoFogAddition-And-ModVersion\!!_BFME2-ROTWK-NoFog-With-ZoomLimitExploit.big"?
Edit: nevermind..didn't see the expand on the text above and the readme in the file had the line "Optional no fog & mod version (only BFME2 & ROTWK): Copy one of the .big files into your game folder." omitted from it or not added since update, thanks for an awesome "map" :D!
do I put the fog file in the map folder?
Could you help us remove zoom fog on C&C3; as well?
Everything works, but when I zoom out there is a fog that hides everything. I tried it on multiple maps. Morder fades out red, Minas Tirith fades white and so on...anyone else have that problem? Is there a different mod to get rid of that?
I have the exact same problem, hopefully they fix it soon :)
I think you have to adjust your shaders to the lowest quality in the visual options setting.
This was working fine until I had to reinstall due to a crash bug with the evil campaign, now its just super zoomed in! Any ideas how I can fix it? I've tried deleting the !RemoveZoomLimits folder and redownloading it but its not worked?
Is this supposed to work in the campaign as well? Can only seem to get it to work for skirmish.
Only skirmish currently. Campaign would need another approach and the use of one additional side button. If more then 20 people pm me with this request I can think about making it.
trying to replay good old campaing of tw on ultrawide screen and it's very zoomed, it will be godsend if you can do that
If you're talking about C&C3;,
yeah I would totally love it for the campaign.
Campaing Zoom out mode would be Awesome!!
Good job for this one.
+1 for campaign zoomability and thanks a lot so far! :D
Yes! That would be amazing!
Cheers
campaign mode ld be great really. that is what i m looking foe
Hi man,
did You already made a campaign version? :)
Hello. Just letting you know that we all appreciate your amazing work and would love any information you have regarding a campaign zoom fix as well. Thank you.
can you do that it where to be realy nice
Thanks for this, it works great but the fog removal only seems to work on some map but doesn't work on maps like Celduin River sadly. Is this going to be fixed in the future as the zoom out doesn't really help if the fog makes it impossible to see.
I hope you get back to me and thanks in advance for you time :)
Oh wasn't aware that the fog still persists on some maps. What game version do you use ?
Dear Mijstral, your tool is fantastic. Many thanks.
I installed version 1.3 of you tool. I confirm that the fog indeed persists on many skirmish maps in C&C3;. I am using version 1.09 of the game without any mods, downloaded directly from steam.
Here's a screenshot of the situation: Imgur.com
Would you be able to fix this ?
Hi, do you plan to fix the fog on other maps as well? (Rhun, Shire..) Thank you, Michal
Yes but with a tool, called SAGE Meta Tool that will replace this pack. It completely removes fog on all maps + many more tweaks. No mod needed and no map needed then. ETA TBA
Appreciate! Michal
thanks for your continued support!
Hey man so does this work with the campaign as well? I have saved resolution settings to be appropriated with 1920 1080; however it wont save still for some reaason.
Does this work on custom maps?
Doesn't seem to be working for me...It shows up in my maps options in game and I load it, and it automatically restarts the game, but when I go to play a real skirmish the zoom has not changed. I am playing with the tiberium essence mod
I love you... I wanna hug you and kiss you so much... <3
where should i put that no fog folder? can you help plz.
thank you so much. it works :)
It doesnt work for BFME 1, Ive tried putting the removemaplimits injector in the maps folder in app data roaming, and theres no map in skirmish
I followed the instructions to place the file in the maps dir for C&C3;. I have the game on one drive and the game folder is on the OS C: drive. The game is on Steam though and it does not recognize the folder at all. I see no option to load it to the custom maps in game.
