It seems that using this mod in combination with SH3 Commander's malfunctions and/or sabotage option can lead to a CTD. For a fix look at this thread, second post

Any news?
Is there a way to make this mod compatible with OLC Ubermod v2.4.2 for GWX 2.1?
Or should i stop dreaming.
Walking around on deck like in SH4 would be great
but SH3 without OLC GUI........ :o :nope: :damn: :cry: :down: :x :dead:

In GWX I am sure you have free roam built in already... I can not recall the key combo to activate it though. :hmm:

Shift-F2 will let you fly tru your tube!:hmm:

Thanks for reply, Männer.
But that isn't the thing i'm searching for.
I know the key combo to walk inside the sub. But this mod do you need to walk outside, along your deck and tower.
I'm no modding-specialist, so i have to wait for a talented modder, who miss the "OLC GUI + Free Cam combo" too.

thx, haddock




ps: Dear modder, please hurry up....:lol: :oops:

The Shift+F2 combo is present in all versions of the game.

However,although similar, it is not truly comparable to Serge's Camera Mod.
For one thing Shift+F2 does not work outside the hull or CT. So you can't walk round the bridge or go down on to the deck. Nor does it allow you to interact with other crew members or equipment. To illustrate this: Using Shift+F2 walk up to the LI/Helmsman left click on him to give him an instruction...he'll just ignore you. Now (still using Shift+F2), climb the ladder into the control tower..it can be done...provided you don't end up in the black " camera out of sector" limbo. Click on the periscope - nothing happens!

Now (with Serges mod loaded) start the comparison process. Go to bridge. Walk up to 1WO (using arrow keys), left click on him. You will then have his undivided attention and he'll follow your orders. Click on the UZO...it works!. Right click on hatch cover. You'll be in the CT. You can then walk round and click on the attack periscope to access the external peri camera view and the tube opening switches beneath it. From there you can use the periscope as if you had pressed the F3 key.

The camera mod works best with one of the 'go back' mods and provides a much more immersive feeling to the game, than just moving around using the Station icon shortcuts or F key equivalents.

Not everyone will want to play the game this way. But for those that do - this mod is an absolute 'must'.

Edit

@ Haddock

Mikhayl's S-Boot mod used a version of the OLC Gui and a modified Serge's Camera...maybe it might be an idea for an experienced modder to have a look at that with a view to making the two mods compatible??

OLC, LRT and Sergbuto's Camera Mod
 

Hi mates. I am not experienced modder but started doing this merging work 2 days ago - I am planning to share it this week as a WIP for testing. There will *hopefully* be dfferent combinations, for OLC GUI and LRT Final 2.02, those both separately and together, as well as with additional options for "light shake" and "medium shake" as in LRT mod.

:hmm: We'll see then how it will be.

Great news, pkl75.
Looking forward for this and wish you good luck with the merging.:up:

Thanks - now I opened the thread for this. ;)

I would love to get this mod but as of now D/L links from Sergubtos' homepage don't work and the Rapidshare link does not work either. Can somebody, please, post the mod for me again?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Conus

I just checked the Rapidshare link given in my earlier post. It is actually working OK.

If you are one of those who can't ever d/l from Rapidshare, drop me a PM with your Email address and I'll send you a copy. It's a tiny little file.


Cskate

Cheapskate,
thanks for the offer but I managed to finally d/l the file. You would not believe this: Trying to d/l the file using Firefox+DAP I was getting "File not found" message. I have tried to open link in the Explorer and voila it worked!!! Firefox seems to be the culprit.
Unbelievable...! :damn:

One more question though: Cameras.dat was also modified by Open Hatch V2 mod. Does anyone know if these two files conflict with each other or in which order they need to be installed? THX!

Conus
Glad you managed to get download Ok in the end. It doesn't really surprise me to hear that the browser was involved. I use plain old unvarnished IE (version 6). Seem to be able to get most of what I need without too much fuss.:D

There are a couple of areas of conflict with OH_V2. SB Camera causes the camera viewpoint to be brought back to stock 1.4b levels. This is most noticeable in the peri views. There is also some very minor artifacting when in the forward control-room position. Beyond that, I haven't noticed anything. The Camera mod has to be loaded after OH_V2 BTW.

Thank you! I will give it a shot.

I just have to tell you: this mod rocks! :rock: Just a quick question for Sergbuto, though: how hard it would be to have camera freely moveable in the Zentralle? That would make it 100% in my book.

Hit 'Shift + F2'...

Cheers,
SquareSteelBar ;)

Great mod, thanks! I did notice a bug, however, that hasnt been mentioned yet. For some reason I cant get into the conning tower by clicking on it fron the CR. Instead, clicking on the conning tower puts me in "free roam" mode in the CR. I cant seem to get into the conning tower anymore, even from the deck.

What you are experiencing, Brett25, isn't a bug, and you aren't in free-Roam mode in the CT - unless you walked up the ladder while using Shift+F2.:D

The Camera mod is a variation of free-roam (Shift+F2) and is active on the bridge and in the CT.

The main difference between the two is that free-roam (shift=F2) does not allow interaction between yourself and the crew or equipment. The Camera mod does. When you go into the tower from CR by clicking on the hatch, try to use the scope - you'll be able to. You wouldn't if you were in free roam.

To go from bridge to CT, right click on hatch. To go from CT to CR, you can right or left-click on hatch. Either way, you then leave the Camera mod.

To get around in CR you have to use the Station ShortCuts or use free roam. If you are using free-roam, you will not be able get into CT with a mouse click until you have left free-roam (right click).

Sorry if this all sounds a bit complicated. Actually it is! If Serge's mod operated in the control room as well as everywhere else,getting around downstairs would be a lot simpler and better. This was what Conus00 was saying in post #97.
