Download Link: Download latest version via Nexus Mods Description This mod adds a ship camera zoom feature to Empyrion - Galactic Survival, which is missing in the base game. It allows you to zoom the camera in and out while piloting your ships and capital vessels for a better view. Main features Custom Hotkeys: Change your zoom trigger key to any button (e.g., Z, X, C, Mouse2, LeftControl) via the config file. Flexible Zoom Modes: Choose between "Hold" (zoom is active only while holding the key) and "Toggle" (press once to enable, press again to disable). Adjustable Zoom Strength & Speed: Fully customize the target Field of View (FOV) value and the smoothness of the zoom transition. Smart Mouse Wheel Integration: Smooth zoom control using the mouse wheel. While zooming, the game's hotbar scrolling is temporarily blocked so you don't accidentally switch your items. Includes an invert axis setting. Diagnostic Logging: Features an optional built-in log system to easily check mod status and troubleshoot issues. Installation instructions Download the mod using the link above. Extract the archive. Move the extracted folder (which contains the .dll and .yaml files) into your Empyrion mods directory: Code: [Game Folder]\Content\Mods\ Launch the game once — the mod will automatically generate the configuration file (ShipZoomMod.conf) inside that same folder. Open the configuration file with any text editor to customize your settings if needed. Note: You must restart the game for your config changes to take effect. Compatibility Game Modes: Fully compatible with Singleplayer, Co-op, and Multiplayer modes. Client-Side Architecture: This mod functions strictly on the client side. It does not require server-side installation and can be used on any public or private server. Requirements Empyrion - Galactic Survival game client. No other external tools, mod loaders, or additional resource files are required.
Change History: Version 0.6 Fixed: Zoom functionality breaking upon pressing Ctrl+Alt Version 0.5 Fixed: mouse wheel zoom would fight with the game's own native free-look camera (Alt) - both reacted to the same scroll input at once. The mod now hands the mouse wheel back to the game completely while free-look is active. Added: new config option PartialZoomKeyAction (SetMax / Disable) - controls what the zoom key does when the wheel has dialed in a partial zoom. Only relevant when ScrollZoomEnabled = true. Added: the config file is now automatically regenerated on every startup - your settings are preserved, and new options from future updates appear automatically with sensible defaults. Improved: config documentation now lists valid values for every boolean setting and spells out punctuation key names / mouse button numbering to avoid key-binding mix-ups. Version 0.4 Fixed: zoom key/scroll wheel would still trigger while a menu or chat window was open, interfering with typing and menu navigation. Version 0.3 Initial version
