ZoomMapMod v1.0
Effects GFX 4 commentsZoom Map Mod for C&C3 Tiberium Wars. This mod changes the maximum zoom level of all maps in C&C3. And yes, this is exactly what it sounds like...
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:
How to play the game with the mod:
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
Captain Zoom

Is there any way to disable fog with this zoom mod?
Also, thanks for creating this!!!!
Has anyone gotten this working for the Ultimate Collection version?
So far I have tried:
1.) Carefully following the instructions included and launching the game without any further modification
2.) Using Beeber's Ultimate Collection Launchers fix, adding -ui to a shortcut to use the stock UI rather than Origin's TW/KW selection prompt
(which enables the original 'Game Browser' menu for selecting mods [which seems to be the Tiberium Wars Control Center spoken of here])
3.) And even using Medstar117's CNC3 Mod Installer and placing the mod files in the appropriated mod folder(s) that are created by it.
Whatever I do, the mod doesn't show up in any of the mod browsers and enhanced zoom is not applied in-game.
Okay, update! I have gotten this working! You can use 7zip to extract the .big and .skudef files from the installer. This mod works without needing to load a skirmish mission to enable the unlocked zoom level! There are quite a few guides out there to get mods working with Origin's TUC version of Tiberium Wars.
For me, this is how I did it (on Windows 7):
Install Beeber's Ultimate Collection Fixes
Disable cloud saves and automatic updates in Origin
Add -ui to the command line launcher (while in Origin or to a shortcut on the desktop) to enable CnC3's mod browser
1.) Create a few folders in Documents so you have something like this...
Documents\Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\Mods\
2.) Create a folder in Mods (name it anything, but no spaces!) for the mod(s) you want to use...
Individual mods will need their own folders in \Mods\
3.) Extract the .big and .skudef files from the mod(s) you downloaded
4.) For multiple mods, delete all but one .skudef file in the mods folder and open it with Notepad
5.) The .skudef file should look like this in Notepad...
mod-game 1.9
add-big mod1.big
add-big mod2.big
add-big mod3.big
replace mod1 mod2 mod3 with the .big filenames you extracted into the mod folder
6.) Launch the game, then click Game Browser in the TW Launcher. Select your mod and enjoy!

Which parts of the .big files did you need to edit to achieve this?
I've already edited mine to my preferences,
and it would be convenient to just edit them slightly further myself.
Any help?
did you started your moddb account when uploading this mod?
Awesome, but I did that by myself sometime ago, doesnt need much work
Brilliant idea. Always hated the forced zoom in provided with the market version.
This is a kewl mod but is there anyway to uninstall it?
It lags my computor like heck and makes everything run slower
Also whats wierd is it works for kanes wrath?
And i can't diable it :(
@ Dr.Pain
I've updated some essential info which may answer your questions.
This doesn't work with Kane's Wrath (the expansion pack), uninstalling the thing is now in the description (see above)
