Change Zoom Out Limit

[Unregistered]

Alternative method: open elementclient.exe in an hex editor and edit 00 00 00 41 -> 00 00 A0 41 around 0x56A0 (not sure of exact address as mine is quite heavily modified).

At least that worked for me

This guide will show how to change the default zoom limit in CN 1.3.6 elementclient.exe from 8.0 meters to 20.0 meters (like in PWI 1.4.2)

Requirements:
You should have advanced programming or similar skills and you should know OllyDBG...

1. login to the game with any character
2. open OllyDBG 1.10
3. attach elementclient.exe to OllyDBG
4. open executable modules window and double click the elementc module
5. now you see the code in the CPU window
6. right click in CPU window -> Search for -> Sequence of Commands
   
   

   fadd dword ptr [esi+40]
   fst dword ptr [esi+40]

   
   
   
   
   
   
7. go ~17 lines up and look for
   
   

   MOV ECX,41000000

8. this value is used as zoom limit, default is 4100000 (8.0f)
9. double click and change this to 20.0f
   
   

   MOV ECX,41A00000

   
   
   
   
   
   
10. now go ~19 lines down (from the currently edited command)
11. look for
    
    

    FCOMP DWORD PTR DS:[85FBFC]

12. this value is used for comparison with new zoom out (when mouse is scrolled)
13. right click on this command -> follow in dump -> memory address
    
    
    
    
    
    
14. now right click in the memory window -> float -> 32bit float
    
    
    
    
    
    
15. now you see 8.0 at the memory block
16. we can't change this value to 20.0, because the 8.0 is used by other commands too!
17. so we search for another 20.0 value in the memory and use this address in the command
18. right click in memory window -> search for -> float
19. enter 20.0 and click ok
    
    
    
    
    
    
20. in the memory window you (hopefully) has now a block with value 20.0
21. right click the block -> find references
    
    
    
    
    
    
22. in the reference window you see now all commands that use this memory value
23. this block has a lot references, to prevent confusion in the future i recommend not using this block
24. right click in memory window -> search for -> next
    
    
    
    
    
    
25. another block with value 20.0 appears
26. right click the block -> find references
27. in the reference window you see again all references
28. only one reference to this memory block, but another search next may give an even more better
29. right click in memory window -> search for -> next
30. in the reference window you see again all references
31. this block isn't referenced currently... awesome we will use this one
32. in the memory window look at the left margin, you see the memory address
33. for me it's 008723C0
34. now focus back to the CPU window and double click the command
    
    

    FCOMP DWORD PTR DS:[85FBFC]

35. replace the old address that points to value 8.0 with the memory address that points to value 20.0
    
    

    FCOMP DWORD PTR DS:[8723C0]

    
    
    
    
    
    
36. when you're done right click in the CPU window -> copy to executable -> all modifications
37. a dialog will popup and ask something, select copy all
    
    
    
    
    
    
38. a new window appears, close this and then you can save the new executable file

Quite a long guide that is... I prefer my unlimited zoom client that I forgot how I made it should be similar to how you did it anyway

 

[ronny1982]

infinite zoom is much easier, because it only disables the zoom check in a single command...

in my opinion infinite zoom is nice for GMs and test-servers but shouldn't be available to players on a live server (venomancers luring bosses from rooms far away through all doors

...and just in case anyone forgot how to change the zoom check, do the below to re-enable the limit:

.:: Zoom Limit Re-Enable ::.

In the CPU main thread window, right-click anywhere and "Search for > Sequence of commands"

In the "Find sequence of commands" window, enter these lines:
FADD DWORD PTR DS:[ESI+40]
FST DWORD PTR DS:[ESI+40]

Now go ~4 lines down, you will see a string like this: JMP SHORT elementc.004056FC

Double click on it and change the "JMP" to "JNZ" (JMP jumps line code...)

Right click on the "CPU main thread window" and Copy > Select all , Backup > Update Backup , Copy to executable > Selection ,  right click > Save file

Finished!

Nice ronny... Seems you know well OllyDBG.

Do you know how to change the default WASD(qwerty) to ZQSD(azerty) in the elementclient.exe?

I'm tired to use macro and other thing like this...

 

[ronny1982]

i used the sunday to get in touch with ollydbg by this zoom example

the problem isn't to change the keyboard keys, the problem is to find where this happens (address), so no idea...

 

[Romulan]

Two persons that know how to modify this but will never share so... i think i'll forget it...

Unless someone else will find it...

Sexy Mate Sexy ^^ I've been trying to do this for some time thanks!

venomancers luring bosses from rooms far away through all doors :

Just if its in range for the pet. Even with locked zoom i was not able to lure the most mobs :

Alternative method: open elementclient.exe in an hex editor and edit 00 00 00 41 -> 00 00 A0 41 around 0x56A0 (not sure of exact address as mine is quite heavily modified).

At least that worked for me

what happen with this forum :ehh:

 

[Souris]

it went mad, that was my post originally and was after nofx -.-"

this only change the limit value and not the compare value*
which leads to a "jumping out zoom" bug, when you zoom out beyond the compare value (8.0 meter) the zoom jumps instantly to the limit value (20 meter)

the tutorial change both values: limit & compare
sure you can also change the address of compare value within hex, but you need to know a working memory address for the new compare value...
