Disclaimer and detailed info

Hacked executable isn't mine, I found it in comment section of this YT video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTKx3al5ldA (credits belong to bads.tm)
Who is also developer and maintainer of Definitive HD Remaster Edition[github.com].

Confirmed working in current v1.6.1816. Saves are two-way compatible between both executables and achievements will unlock either way. Only 25 bits differ from the original file.

Be aware that using larger zoom will drastically reduce performanse while absence of LOD implementation will also degrade visuals, such as disappearing shadows and eventually whole geometry. Game was not designed with faraway camera or very shallow angles in mind but you'll be able to comfortably double the zoom without any noticeable impact.
I'm not sure how Multiplayer will behave with modified executable or if it even let you connect (if game employs any protection). If problem arises simply restore backup of the original exe for MP.

Known issue

Camera may glitch to distant zoom after completing a mission and then starting a new one so you'll have to bring it back.

If you find more let me know and I'll dump them here. Unfortunately I can't do more than that.

@Quarren
If you mean the 2nd Github link - I don't know I'm afraid. I only plugged it to give the author as much credit as possible. You may be able to find more with a search engine, or even better, try contacting him directly via Git or YT. Anyway it's outside of the scope of this guide (and my skill level tbh).

im trying to figure out what that mod does for the github. says something about unlimited units and money. however i jsut want to use that part. i dont want what ever mod is in it cause idk what mods tehre are. how do i do that

Updated guide with new executable, courtesy of our beloved carrot-eater bads.tm .
Camera manipulation is even more flexible now and the known glitch has not manifested itself during my short testing (reason enough to update).
Also there are lots more files in that GitHub link but I leave those for advanced pupils :)

At first I was puzzled by what you mean since devs practically ended SWINE HD updates beyond server maintenance but then I thought to check YT link and you're right, dude updated his tool few hours before your post. You sure are quick!
Gonna take a look later and test it before updating guide. Hopefully find and contact him on Steam so I can include him as contributor too, to inherit ownership/editing privileges. Never expected him coming back to update his tool. Thanks for informing me!

all good thanks a lot i had some fun yesterday :D . all works atm with the last steam version

Nilex [author] 4 May, 2022 @ 1:25pm

Yeah known bug. May be because hack was made for an older version and stopped being updated, or the original author simply missed it in testing.
Wish I could do something about it but alas it is above my expertise level. Take it or leave it kind deal I'm afraid :)

hi, thanks it works fine but maybe i discoverd a bug? zooming is a bit buggy. when i start a lvl is very very very far out zoomed. don't even see the map. is it a bug or a feature?
