Overview
I’ve made a guide for Spellforce 3 (main game) before, but that didn’t work 1:1 for the Soul Harvest Expansion. With this slightly modified guide you’ll be able to use a far distance camera in the Soul Harvest Expansion, too.
Instruction
Attention: On small maps you maybe have to zoom in a little bit (standard distance). Otherwise the camera can be buggy. In indoor-Levels, like the Cave, the camera-distance is sometimes still restricted. So test it in outdoor Levels.
Open with text editor: […]SteamGamessteamappscommonSpellForce3_2019bin_exp1_win32configsvisual.txt
–> Attention: There are two “bin”-folders an both have visual.txt inside, take care you’re choosing the right one.
In visual.txt you search (CTRL+F) for line:
1. (This step is new, not like in the main game .txt-file)
// field of view of the camera in degrees
FOV 21
normal: 21
Change to “40”.
2.
// maximum distance of camera from target
MaxDistance 840
normal: “840”
“1440” instead work fine for me.
3.
Same is possible with:
// minimum distance of camera from target
MinDistance 150
Change to “100” work fine
save file, restart game if already running.
If your FPS are to low after this, try do decrease the values like for FOV to 30 and MaxDistance to 1000 instead
