Startup viewing distance?

[Shenanigunner]

Another thing that seems to have changed — or I bumped a switch somewhere and didn't notice it — is that the default camera distance is now very close, maybe 5 feet, so I load up staring at the back of my alt's head. I know it was either a longer distance (20 feet?) or whatever I left the alt at, before... so how do you set this startup distance?

The text command is /camdist nnn

I don't think there's a way to permanently set a default for new characters.

Yeah, I know the command and have binds (Home sets my comfortable distance for each alt, End zooms out to the max 120.) But I don't recall logging in to do a lice inspection on my alts. If there's no default... I gotta find a fix. 🙂

Maybe it gets saved along with the other stuff when you save your window layout?

No, I have window save/load binds and I rarely save unless I'm completely in ready-to-play mode. Good guess, though. Not options, either, as far as I can remember from messing with those a lot this week.

Did you change the field of view?

Been the same for a long time. I also notice that when I go to base, I get a fixed distance again, one that puts me right in the middle of my kiosk of NPC providers, Very annoying. I know that's new because I learned not to make the mistake of going to base with a long zoom; it would land me with whatever viewpoint I had.
