Camera (or cinematic) problem

Guys I have a problem with the cameras.
Currently when you zoom into something wc3 increases the XX plane and decreases the ZZ plane. However, I just want to zoom in by increasing the ZZ plane and I want to keep the XX plane the same. Can some one who understands of cameras help me with this ?
How do I fix it?

The mousewheel zoom behaviour is hardcoded as far as I know, you could try having a periodic trigger that resets the pitch of the camera to the default value very quickly, that's all I can think of.

Mmmm ToadCop actually found a way of doing it in his board system.
But I just can't figure it out !
besides I think if we use cinematic mode it can be done, but I am not sure !

i do it periodicaly... like Anitarf wrote.
btw that values are indeed hardcoded BUT in miscdata.txt for some unknown reason there are camera setups. but it does change nothing... =\ it's so lame.

Cop - C is not capital... T_T

Mmm.... so is there any solution ??
I am thinking of doing it periodicaly as Anitarf suggested. But I am sure ToadCop has a better way =S

Toadcop, I read all you documentation about your system ... however the code's core it's just too much overwhelming for me =S
Ok, I will that periodically like you guys suggested =D
