Nope either it's just random or needs restarts every time you change values or something else entirely. I had to keep checking with a hex editor to see if it worked or not LOL. But it did work.
I can't find a hex editor, only seen a hex world mod, can you point a way to find this editor and maybe share a way to edit camera? Thank you very much!!! >.<
The description in the original Camera Zoom mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/790) explains how to do it. First you need an hex editor. HxD works like a charm. Search on google and download it. Then you open the .cms file with it and find the adresses mentioned in the link above. For the close and far settings respectively. Just scroll through. If you want this mod's settings on with the Far option, you need to find the adress 00001C80, and then paste the following string at the start of the line: 00 00 20 C2 00 00 8C 42 (Height : first 16 characters. Zoom: last 16 characters) Save the document and restart the game. It should be ready.
If you want to change the values for height and zoom for yourself, just convert Little Endian floats (the values) into hex and paste at the corresponding addresses. Here's some webs that can help.
I made this just now and as of game version 15.21, it works. If there is even a single soul that downloads this, please reply to me, I am curious if anyone will even see this.
Also sidenote; Shane895 wrote "Height : first 16 characters. Zoom: last 16 characters" and I'm not sure if I'm reading this wrong but in HxD it was just the first 8 characters that affected the height. I changed the first 8 characters on line/address 00001C80 to 00 20 C2 00. So it should be 'Height : first 8 characters. Zoom: last 8 characters'. At least that's what made my edit work as intended.
hey there, just wanted to tell you, your file works I started playing mhw again and need up to date camera files for iceborne, didnt want to unpack all chunk files again. your offsett worked, though I changed them myself again
@mar1ux Thanks for your file. Would you know what value I should use to make the zoom farther, like in the "160" version of the Camera Distance Change for Iceborne?
I followed your method and compared both files, but the last 8 characters on the 00001C80 offset, which should represent the zoom, were the exact same on each file, when the mods are completely different as far as zoom goes for the Far setting.
hi ! it is possible to lower the zoom amount, having camera closer to the character i mean. I'm using this in conjunction with a FOV changer, so it results in a somewhat too far distance from the char.
I've tried MHW Camera Configurator but for some reason, it just has no effect in-game. ( export the zip, copy the nativepc )
This mod worked thought, the cam is significantly lower, which is great.
Wish i could have a bit more zoomed in, that would be perfect

Edit: NVM, I did it myself
But it did work.

Can you adapt it to the normal camera distance?
restart the game?? make a new save?
Author probably meant "restart the game to apply the mod".
