Free Camera: Reduced Zoom Range (2018) [DEPRECATED]

Description
This is an old version of the mod that is no longer being supported on this page. It may work with an old version of the game, but it will only remain here so that current subscribers don't have their local files removed by Steam. This specific mod may or may not get an update with its own page (its features may just be integrated into the new main mod).



An addon for the Free Camera mod that reduces the zoom range and adjusts the zoom-tilt curve profile to account for it. The maximum zoom is reduced and you can't zoom in as far, reducing the chance of a crash on some systems. It also just makes playing the game with the mod more enjoyable because most of the time you are not zooming out as far as the Free Camera lets you.

Required Mod - Free Camera. See the parent mod page for a full description and more images.

Want a more interesting backdrop for the game as shown in the above images? See the Alternative Skybox mods in the collection with this mod.

Reminders:
- Your game will still crash if you tilt the camera all the way down and then try to zoom all the way out. Your game should be stable unless you are doing something extreme like that.
- At very low to the ground tilt angles, key panning breaks, you must use left click drag to pan the map.
- There are still some graphical artifacts at certain angles/zooms/tilts. Ask Firaxis.

Update: editing the value directly in the Free Camera mod worked, so I have no idea what's going on. The dependency appears to be working, because when I had this one enabled, I couldn't disable Free Camera.

For some reason this is not working for me. The only Workshop mods I have enabled are Free Camera, this one, and Annoyances so I can turn off unit icons and city banners. This doesn't make any sense because this is a bone simple mod. I'm going to try manually editing the values in the Free Camera mod to see what happens.

Apparently there is a unofficial fix for mod compatibility on CivFanatics
https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/workaround-when-returning-to-main-menu-with-r-f-and-some-mods.26701/

This fixed the specific issue i was having!

Odd compatibility between 3 mods, that all seem to run fine by themselves or even in any pair:
RGP+Map Tacks+Free Camera = Breaks (can't load saved game & can't launch new game)
RGP+Map Tacks = works
RGP+ Free Camera = works
Map Tacks+Free Camera = works

These 3 mods worked together before R&F.

So that's what above/below the map...
Quite a helpful mod honestly. Great work you're doing with these releases!
