need more height in exterior camera views
 

i often like to get a birds eye view using the external camera view but i cant go very high.

is there a way to go higher? i seem to hit a cieling and cant get a higher view.

im not looking to go very high but just to the limit that the visability range would allow.

use the ROW camera's
 

Beery's Camera Mod will do it but I don't like how it zooms in on ships when your flipping thru different ships. You can DL the mini tweaker an mod the Cameras.dat file your self an just change the height you can goto.... Vary simple......

Thinking the same thing :up:


RDP

so what value is it called that i must look for?

I forgot offhand, I modded it a while ago. I just compared Barrys mod with the original an found the value to change. If you have somewere I could upload it to I could send you mine, it's jsgme ready an call it FreeCam....


I can't use the Private Message, it doesn't work for me....

well i opened the cameras.dat file and changed the camera values but it no longer has any effect since patch 1.3 or 1.4

can you confirm yours still works with 1.4?

I think the tweak file needs to be 1.4 compatible, but I could be wrong. But I like going high too, so I would like to know also! :yep:

Seeing the size ofthis patch, 219 mb, an I'm on dialup, there's no way I can DL this patch. I'll have to waite till I can get a friend to DL it for me. Just as well, I'm on my last mission in mid 45... By time I get back to port all the Champaign will be gone...

has anyone found a way to increase how high you can go with the exterior camera?

This is for patch 1.5...

Using Silent 3ditor GoTo Node -_Dummy_Cam_FreeCamera Expand it then expand FreeMove Select FreeMove ( Sub Folder of FreeMove ) an adjust the Max Height =

It number 19 in Silent 3ditor list

I use 250

i dont use 1.5 because i have SH3 so i dont need it, so maybe ubi has changed something?

when the game came out originally it was a simple thing to adjust but ever since 1.3 and 1.4 came out (i never used 1.2) i havent found a way to change it with mini tweaker or even using the new 3ditor. i have played with the height numbers but to no effect. its like ubi did something that disabled any effect changing the max height would have on the game. if 1.5 has restored this ability then maybe someone can figure out what other changes were made so that changes to the max height will once again have some effect in the game.

"i dont use 1.5 because i have SH3 so i dont need it, so maybe ubi has changed something?"

Try the SH3 forum if ur need it for SH3, thiis is for SH4

I've used this for patch 1.4 an 1.5 in SH Wolves of the Pacific....

I think he wants it for SH4, he just doesn't want the U-boat add-on. I think that's a mistake, because all the modders are starting to move to SH4 1.5, and ultimately it will totally replace SH3.

I have a camera mod ( version 1.4 ) that will allow free movement in 2 versions.

One were the maxheight is 1000
2nd were maxhieght is 250

I like the 250, 1000 is way too much.....
