MaxHeight

[Go4It]

This is a mod to enable the freecam to go higher.

Open Silent 3ditor, Program by skwasjer v0.2, open the SH4/Data/Library/Cameras.dat file, click tree an change to list, select Properties in the left pane, select 19. Properties in the pane to the right of the left pane, in the right pane select the MaxHeight = 70 ( DEFAULT ), an change it to a value, bottum right, you want, after changing value hit ENTER then file/save as an save it in your MODS folder. I use "SH4ROOT"/MODS/FreeMove/Data/Library/. Enable using a GREAT tools called JSGME!

I use a value of 1000 an been using this for 2 patrols.

If you save the Cameras.dat directly to the Library folder you'll overwrite the original file, make a backup first!!!!!!!!

I have never seen a post on how to do this for patch 1.3 or 1.4, so please give me a link to a post.... I would have never posted this if it was done B4....

Look adapted mods for 1.4 ...

None the less, step by step instructions for some might be useful, for example if they are using a mod that already modifies cameras.dat. Finding stuff with the search can sometimes be daunting.

NEVER heard of it or seen it posted here.

If it's part of a large mod forget it, I can't DL a large mod with modem..... I usually mod my own.

Sorry me ...
But this modification was in SH3 and has passed in SH4 ...

i also have never seen a stand alone fix, or any combined mod that contained a fix for the free camera hight issue for 1.2 or 1.3 game version.

i have used the mini tweaker to change the cameras.dat "MaxHeight" from 70 to 100, 1000, and even 10,000 to no effect so something else is limiting how high the free cam can go, its not the maxheight setting. none of the other freecam settings made any difference where you set them as far as how high the freecam goes.

when sh4 first came out the maxheight fix was posted and it worked, for some reason it no longer worked in patched version 1.2 or 1.3 version.

if it is now "fixed" in 1.4 so the maxheight setting will once again have an effect on the freecam height then this is something new.

maxheight works on my setup of SH4 but I'm thinking 1000 is a bit too much, kinda gets one into orbit
