camera mod

I'm goin' down · 08-15-09, 12:55 PM

As I recall, in the stock game you had two cameras. One rotated among the various ships.

I am playing FOTRS. I have a single camera. That's it. I have the FJB camera mod by Websters for 1.4 & 1.5. How can I get the two cameras working?

What is the best camera mod?

What is the best night periscope? The one in FOTRS is okay but could use improvement.

Since FORS is based on TMO I think the same commands would work. It may be in the support readme in FORS, but here is how you can fix it.
This gives the previous and next cam back.

"The easiest way is to open the /data/cfg/commands.cfg. Search for " [Cmd50] " Your looking for these two blocks:
　
[Cmd50]
Name=Camera_on_next_unit
Ctxt=1
;Key0=0xBE,,">"
Page=0x34000000,3714

[Cmd51]
Name=Camera_on_prev_unit
Ctxt=1
;Key0=0xBC,,"<"
Page=0x34000000,3714

Simply remove the semicolon placed in front of the key assignment, and you have the next/previous cameras back. Note: this will restore hotkeys. It will not restore the buttons on the ordersbar."

You can keep your career, but you need to exit the game and restart....

The hot keys for TMO are . and ,

Need more help let use know. I assume the freecam and Misc cam work.

I just delete the cameras.dat of the mod if I want the switching camera.

If you install my camera mod after FOTRS you should have the unit view. However, you will lose any other camera settings FOTRS has in it.

EDIT: I just realized that even if you install over FOTRS you still would need to edit the commands.cfg if it turns the unit view off. My bad.
