Options.ini Command Conquer Generals Download

The camera height is way too low in Command & Conquer: Generals and Zero Hour. Is there any way to increase the height of the camera so I can see more on screen at one time?

It is possible, the Gamedata.ini file has a setting called 'maxcameraheight' which allows you to change the camera height. However this prevents you from playing with people (LAN or online) who haven't changed this value.

The Gamedata.ini file is located in installdirectoryEA GamesCommand & Conquer Generals Zero HourDataINI. If this file is not there you can download it and save it in this location. For example at: http://www.gamefront.com/files/10920361/CC_ZH_104_Gamedata_Widescreen_Update.

Editing the 'Gamedata.ini' file can be done with a simple texteditor, set maxcameraheight to something below 1000, 600 or 700 is good usually.

Make also sure to set the resolution in this file to the resolution of your screen. Wide screen resolutions like 1600x900 or 1920x1080 are possible. If you haven't done this yet: set this resolution also in the 'options.ini' file which is located at usernameDocumentsCommand and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data. Please make sure to do not change the options in-game because it will screw up this changes!

OK so I just spent over a day researching on how to fix the resolution problem where you are too zoomed in because of mismatching of screen resolution to game resolution. You can potentially fix it with modifications such as Gamedata.ini, but that will restrict you from playing online due to the fact that it becomes a different version.

The only way to fix it legitimately is to download GenTool which gives more possibilities for adjustment of screen resolution in Options in the main menu of the game. The site of GenTool is not always working, so you can download it from http://www.cncnz.com/downloads/track/file.php?id=420. The only problem is that this won't work on the 17 years Ultimate edition pack. It will work on the First Decade pack and on the Generals (and Generals Zero Hour) game only.
