Good grief, it's a simple little zip file, and Sergbuto's already put the path information in there. Just extract it to the right folder in SH4 and be done with it.

Excellent mod Sergbuto! :up:

I wonder...Is it possible to make the interior free cam retain its position info like you did with the cams in your mod?

I'm not fighting with you, but you're making an absolutely big production out of one little zip file with one little folder that needs to be extracted to the MODS folder. Extract it, open JSGME, enable the mod, and that's it.

...and READ the readme file.

Now all I need is a deck chair, an esky with booze in it and a fishing line :arrgh!: The XO can look after the sub for me :lol:

The download link was not working for me.

nice...real nice.:up:

Simply great ! :up:
For me it really intensifies the immersion. Walking around on my own sub.

Is it possible to change the free external camera F11 so that one can 'move' on other ships as well ? Something like deactivate the camera-collsion ?
That would get me to see through the eyes of my prey's watch.

Regards,
Tell

Is the new F5 view 'stabilised' as in free-cam view or it is swaying with the boat?

Argus00 08-10-07 06:25 AM

Sergbuto, could you please post a list of changes you've made to the cameras.dat file? I need to add your changes manually, as I'm already using a modded cameras.dat file.

Thanks.

I only messed with it a few minutes last night but if I recall correctly it was stablized view.

Not available yet. The AI-sub traffic section of the campaign and the model of the surfaced sub are ready (took some time to built a damaging model for the sub) but did not have time to do the write-up (Readme, etc.).

The cameras.dat file is placed in Data\Library\ folder. But the way it's set up, you can use JSGME to load it.

Now that little dit bit of info was left out. Give it a go, great little piece of work.

Concerning the installation, I just pasted the Readme bits from my SH3 mods. Personally, I do not use JSGME because I want to keep tight control on any file changes in my SH4 folder while doing modding. But I heard that the way I set up the mod downloads is compatible with JSGME. Maybe I should indeed start stating compatibility in Readmes.

Now i sit here wondering, how in the hell did sergbuto do it?

That was not hard. Basically, I replaced a rotation controller with a free-move one. What I would actually like to have is a free walk limited to the deck and the bridge of the sub. I'll try to work on that when I have more time. Things need a lot of testing but my present computer is relatively slow. Actually, some of its specs are below the minimum but having a good graphic card helps to some extent.

clayp,

1. Open the Data\Library folder in your SH4 directory. Find the Cameras.dat file and remove it from the folder and store some safe place.
2. Open my download archive with the 7zip program and find Cameras.dat file in there. Drag the Cameras.dat file to the Data\Library folder in your SH4 directory. That's it. The mod is installed.

Yes, I think it is possible to do the same thing with interior cameras, i.e. a combination of the stock one and the Shift-F2 camera so that the Shift-F2 camera will be no longer needed. That's the next thing I planned to look at.
