How to change the bridge viewpoint position?

[bennymaeker]

Hello. How I can change/move the viewpoint position "where I standing" (I don't know how to call that) in the bridge view to another position?


From here (The bridge rooftop) directly into the bridge

Which parameters I must change in which files?

Being that appears to be a surface warfare unit?
Identify the Turm used, which will be in the objects folder unless combined with the main unit, Use S3D to find the DMY_Soclu_XXX and change it's position.

I think holding down the CTRL key while pressing the arrow keys will move your position instead of rotating your view.

Pressing the arrow keys to move the position worked and is a good temporary solution.


But make it permanent, I need further help. I've found that DMY_Soclu_XXX entries. But which one I have to change?

Click on the DMY_Soclu_XXX entries until the one you want shows as high lighted. Then move it where you want in the X - Y - Z direction.

Hello.I changed the coordinates of DMY_Soclu_31 to DMY_Soclu_37, but nothing changes ingame. The bridge view is still on the rooftop.


Is there another entry I have to change?

Open the cam file of the ship, note the parent ID of the camera controllers, and search for these IDs in the dat file of the ship and check their position in relation to the ship's model. Then, change the position of the misplaced node.

Hello. I can't find any Parent's ID's from the cam file in the dat file of the ship. Would you mind taking a look if I sent the files to you?

In S3D, there is a serach function to find where the IDs are located.
If you still don't succeed, send me all the files.
