About this project

What does Zoom Button Patch add?

Zoom Button Patch

I come across some tricks while working on my Telescope Mod and remembered ZoomButtonReborn had the same issues, so there it is.

Progressive improvements and optimizations awaiting to be implemented on the original mod.

I will use this mod to test improvements before they are added to the main one.

 Now with online repo and verifiable file integrity! 

What it does

- version 2.0.0

Spoiler!
  • Compatibility: Hooks into third-party `GuiDialog` windows and `IRenderer` HUD overlays across installed mods without requiring manual configuration.

 

- version 1.2.0 & 1.3.0 (merged in zoombuttonreborn 2.0.4)

Spoiler!
  • Even clearer UI: Hides minimap, coordinates hud, hotbar and chat while zooming!

 

- version 1.1.0 (merged in zoombuttonreborn 2.0.4)

Spoiler!
  • Inter-Mod Compatibility: Added a thread-safe Suppression System (StartSuppress / StopSuppress) exposed globally through capi.ObjectCache. Other mods can temporarily lock ZoomButton without hard code dependencies.
  • Also added Live State Exposure (current zoom value).
  • Disconnect Safeguard: Cached original pre-zoom settings on frame 1 of zooming. If the client context unloads or disposes while zoomed in, Dispose() automatically catches the state and force-restores the player's default FOV, sensitivity, smoothing, and hand settings.
  • Performance Optimizations: skips all unnecessary actions when zoom is idle.
  • Edge-Case Coverage: clears vignette and prevents zero-FOV restore on force reset. Better memory management and thread safety.

 

- version 1.0.0 (merged in zoombuttonreborn 2.0.3)

Spoiler!
  • hides player hands when zooming
  • partially resolves FOV bug

Installation

Purely Client side, just as the original mod, which is still required.
I'm actively helping including this fix in the main Mod.

Each patch targets a pecific version.

Compatibility

Confirmed mods:

StatusHudContinued
ExtraInfo
TemporalFatigue

If you find other mods with incompatible GUI or Dialogues let me know on Discord or in the comments.

Known Issues

  • soft-lock then opening the chat while zooming, releasing Z fixes it.
  • FOV glitch when zooming while aiming with a Combat Overhaul Fork ranged weapon. Should not mess with the client configs, just an animations conflict.

 

If for whatever reason the player hands doesn't reappear, this console command will revert them to visible: 

.clientconfig hideFpHands false
As for broken FOV or mouse sensitivity, go to
  • settings > FOV (default should be 70)
  • settings > mouse > sesitivity (default should be 50)

Security & Automated Builds

To guarantee safety and complete transparency:

Automated Cloud Builds: Every release is compiled automatically from open-source code using GitHub Actions in an isolated environment. No local binaries manually uploaded.
Verifiable Integrity: Each release provides an official SHA256 checksum generated directly by the build pipeline to verify file integrity.
Open Source: Anyone can inspect the source code, verify changes, and check the build logs directly on the GitHub page.
