[TEC] Conning Tower Interior Free Cam?
 

From the conning tower [I'm using TM 1.7.2], when I hit Shift+F2, I get put back in the control room. Can someone help and let me know what code to enter to stay in the conning tower with the free roam camera? Please see what I think is the data/cfg/commands.cfg line entry for Shift+F2 and an unused one for the conning tower. How could I make Shift+F9 be the free roam in the tower?

Use the tool found here. It lets you configure your keys any way you like.

If you head towards the back of the control room in Shift+F2 (can't remember which direction now:hmm: ), through the door, you eventually pop up in the conning tower interior in free cam mode.

[Cmd55] What would set it to Shift+F9?
 

If [Cmd53] is key Shift+F2, what would make [Cmd55] Shift+F9? I just want to be able to activate Free Cam in the tower without being knocked back down the hatch to the Control Room.

08x15: check my first post. Alternatively, try changing

to

That might do the trick, too, if you don't want to map another key. That way, when you're in the conning tower, you press your right mouse button and theoretically it should take you to the conning tower free camera view instead of the command room.

Thank you for idea DrBeast.
 

DrBeast,

Thank you for the suggestion. I think I understand it, and will give it a try. I have the key editor you suggested, but I really do not understand how to use. I'm afraid my Tech skills don't extend much beyond simple plain text. I would be happy to use another key if I could tell which one might be safe to use--one not already in use.

Adding a key is the easy part. Just change
to
and you'll get Shift+F9. I've no clue what "Page=" is, though, and what is should be set to. The program I suggested is not that difficult to use. Just read the readme and you'll eventually get the hang of it. :yep:

I know I'm quoting myself, but I want to make it clear that the above method crashes my game when I try to leave free conning tower camera. Chalk up another failed method :p
