Description
Better Zoom

This mod allows you to zoom in and out much further than what's possible in Vanilla.
Very useful to people who play in lower resolutions or who want to have high resolution sprites.

This mod is open source on GitHub[github.com]. If you have a GitHub account, please give it a star!

The Camera Control portion of this mod has been moved to its separate mod called
"Camera Control". If you are a content creator, go check it out!

Giant thank you to DogeRoll for the Edits which allow more tiles to be drawn.

How to use:

In Settings:
Clicking on the Zoom or UIScale text next to the sliders will reset the value to 100%.
You can toggle between slider and exact input using the toggle button next to the header text "Zoom".
The text box only takes numbers from 0 to 1000 and pressing the Enter key or clicking away will submit the change.

Zoom:
Changing the Zoom slider or Pressing the plus or minus keys on your keyboard (not the ones on the numpad) will zoom your game in and out just like normal,
but instead of zooming from 100% to 200%, you can zoom from 10% to 1000%

Warning the more you zoom out the laggier it gets!
I can't do anything about the lag, but you can disable rendering tile in the Config if it's too much

UI Scale:
You can now change the UI Scale from 50% to 500%. You can also change this by holding shift while pressing plus or minus.

If you cannot for whatever reason change the Zoom or UI Scale in game, you can change the "Zoom" and "UIScale" values
inside the configuration file located at "Documents/My Games/Terraria/tModLoader/config.json" while the game is closed.

Mod Config:

Background Scale (default: 'off'):
This toggles if the background should zoom too.

Cursor Scale (default: 1x):
This changes the size of your cursor.

Zoom Range (default: 30% - 1000%):
This changes the minimum and maximum amount of zoom you can set.

UI Scale Range (default: 50% - 400%):
This changes the minimum and maximum amount of UI Scale you can set.

Disable UI Zoom Hotkey (default: 'off'):
Disables the Shift+Plus/Shift+Minus Hotkey to change the UI zoom.

Render more tiles (default: 'on'):
Turning this on renders more tiles outside the normal view range.
Note: This will make the game noticeably laggier the more you zoom out. I can't do anything about that.

Tile render limit (default: 1.0):
This sets at which zoom level you can see more tiles. The lower it is, the laggier the game but the more tiles you can see.
For example if you set this to 0.5 (50%) you can see tiles up to 50% zoom.

Zoom Speed (default: 1.0)
Changes how fast you zoom in using the keyboard. 1 is normal speed, 10 is 10x faster.

Would it be possible to have a setting to automatically set the zoom value to X when a boss is alive or a event is happening and back to Y when there's no boss and no events happening? If yes, please add this? It would be great!

Bug: extra tiles doesn't render on retro/trippy (why so many mods have problems on this light?)
Jonathan 1 Jun @ 2:34pm 
the new option is pretty good, but, is there any way that the mod can load the rays (like ares in infernum) more than the native resolution?

This looks like a MUST have for Zenith Ravager, THANK YOUUUU

Le0n, if it's not too much trouble could you look into those performance optimizations you mentioned? Mod is already goated but having some optional backend optimization would take it to the next level, or you could have them in a separate mod that this uses as a dependency.
