Zoom unlock "mod"

[Orys]

I've made a quick mod to enable zooming which was not possible on my 5120x1440 screen for some reason.
It also makes zooming immediate

I only had 2 zoom levels at 4k. This works too for 2180p resolution? And how exactly, does it add a 3rd zoom level?

It works for my screen/resolution I'm not sure about you. For me it would not zoom at all, I could only move up and down

It modifies a class in the game which handles zooming, it removes some checks that disable zooming with some conditions. It's a quick and dirty change and I'm just sharing it if some people find it useful

looking for zoom level between 2 defaults, this mod not helped :( Thanks anyway!

I’m not comfortable with downloading and running random DLLs. Can you please explain what exactly you did to achieve this?

I'll try to see if it's possible to make it more like a free zoom level instead of notches which are annoying but I can't promise it :')

It's not my first mod for a game I've already made one for Souldiers and The Light Brigade which are both open-source : https://steamcommunity.com/app/1419160/discussions/0/3426689579765500402/?l=english&ctp=5

The game is made with Unity, you can easily modify the game's code using a decompiler like dnSpy. You open Assembly-CSharp.dll, update the code, and save it. There are methods which handle zooming in the PerfectPixelWithZoom class. I changed some functions there like capZoom (nulled it) and made CanUserExtraZoom return true at all time

Someone smarter than me and with more free time could make it work better!

Is this better? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nfK4CHcjzLW76ssePNTgf-wQiUHQvwU9/view?usp=sharing There is a small glitch at first but then you can change the zoom better I think
