[quote][quote]This is great news. Once you get it all sorted, please write up a new DR with the steps, new screens, a before/after and at least one overlay. This will be big news.
go to the following link, it is a perfect step by step on how to set up the basic system.ovr file.

Another problem is that the type of file is still a text document.
Select Folder and Search Options
Now Select the tab "View"
and now uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types"
And now look at your system.ovr file. Oh look it's now system.ovr.txt
So now rename it to system.ovr and drop off the .txt
If you want a separate program to handle camera zoom, try this:

It works great, I recommend setting it at 75 m and use the in game console with the command g_minfov 180 for the best viewing. There are tons of modifications you can do with the command console. I do recommend using some of the ones that increase the distance at which objects,NPC's, mobs other characters etc. appear or you will have stuff just phasing into existence right when you run into it.
I apologize if Im stating the obvious or reading this wrong,but I think when you open the notepad and add in the lines
to save it as an .ovr file you need to
Save as "system.ovr"
with the parentheses
is that what you were referring to above when you said it still is a
text file ?
if I mistook what you wrote,ignore this :P
oh P.S. Thank you for this find =)
P.P.S. I wonder if anyone has tried this with Eyefinity and has some screens in 3x24" or even 3x30" res :o)
I have, I am using Eyefinity with 3x1 21.5" monitors. Aion looks great at 5760 x 1080. Let me try clear up that bit about how to save that file. read through that link's instructions. It is very expicit that you DO NOT include the paranthesis when you save it as the name "system.ovr".
When you save it as system.ovr it is in reality system.ovr.txt. So you copy it into the Aion main directory, then (windows 7) you have to go to Organize ---> Folder and Search Options ----> View ----> and uncheck Hide Extensions for Known File Types. Now the system.over shows
up as system.ovr.txt . Right click it and rename it to system.ovr and that's it!
