I've recently decided to get rid of SCT-D because it doesn't do enough for me to be worth the resources (and it doesn't do well with showing information above nameplates). This means I'm using the Blizzard floating damage text (which I'm perfectly happy with). The problem here is that bosses are pretty huge and it's nigh-impossible to see my damage dealt with the default max camera distance. I've tried a few console/script commands, but nothing seems to hold after I reload the UI or exit the game. I'm wondering if there's an addon to force the max camera distance back or at the very least run a macro to do so once I log in. Any and all help is appreciated.

Have you tried takeing those scripts you got and puting them into a macro for later use?

/console cameraDistanceMax 50

/script SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax",50)

You're looking for

/console cameraDistanceMaxFactor 4

This will let you zoom out 4 times as far as normal.

I do believe with the latest patch you can achieve max distance with the slider under the camera settings.  Anybody know if it's true?

I know about these slash commands, but my problem is I'm one of those guys that's never going to remember to hit the macro every time he logs in to any character. (And no, the slider won't go that far, unfortunately.)

I will say that I set my slider to the max and my gnome looks really, really tiny!

/script SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax", 25)
/script SetCVar("cameraDistanceMaxFactor", 2)

For some reason setting the distance to 25 and then the factor to 2 held when setting other combinations didn't. Thanks guys!
