Getting The Next/Previous Unit Cams Closer
 

Hi guys,
Does any of you great modders know how to get the next/previous unit cams closer to the units itself ( particulary when it is focused on the player sub).
I know it has something to do with the camera.dat file and i checked that out with the SH3 mini tweaker, i just couldn't figure out which parameter to adjust.

Thnx

I believe the value is listed in ObjectView in the Cameras.dat file and is called...

CameraParams AngularAngle

If you wanted to get a closer view you would need to make that number lower.

There's a misnomer for ya, if I ever saw one. By definition, aren't all angles angular?

Perhaps..but more important is this.....

Could'nt one angle be more angular that another angle when the it's angular angle is more angled than the other angle? :doh:

And what if it's angled straight on an object ... then what?!!? :yep:

Yeah, but what if the sine over the cosine of the angular dangle reflect more dangle than the angular angle dangle?

ummm, can i buy a vowel?

No, you can't! I have Vanna White locked up in my closet:rotfl:

in the camera.dat file
 

I beleve it is the dummy cam object view 324 node it might be the terain collider setting but don't quote me on that one.

Hi guys thnx for the replies but strangely it doesn't work.
Come to think at it; i haven't seen any changes i made in cameras.dat in SH4.
No matter what i change using SH3Minitweaker i can't seem to get it to work.
Any ideas, anyone?

Look in the folder where the file you editted is. You'll see a file called "Copy of <File I Editted>.dat", i.e. if you edit "Cameras.dat" you'll have one called "Copy of Cameras.dat". Delete the copy! Seems SH4 has a bad habit of reading every .dat file it finds, and that can cause no end of problems if you have "Dat File.dat" and "Copy of Dat File.dat", both with the same params but with different values.

<Edit> Back on topic, what if I'm looking askance at a ship? By definition, there's no angle whatsoever involved with such a look! Would the AngularAngle param still apply?!?!!!
