I didnt make a JSGME version for fear it would cause problems for anyone who has modified their Commands.Cfg file. Which I believe would be a high percentage of folks here. In a nutshell.
1. Open your SHIV/Data/Cfg/Commands.cfg file in Notepad or Word,(backup first) now scroll to each [Cmd #] entry in your file and copy/paste every item I have highlighted in blue in my original post. Copy these individually as they are not in sequence as apparent by the numbers. Thats it. Now whenever you start a new mission or patrol in SHIV you will have 4 new views available that you can placemark anywhere you choose.
2.When the mission starts DO NOT RIGHT CLICK THE MOUSE. I cant stress this enough, as this will lock your new views right where you stand.
3. From the Normal starting position in the sim hit Shift + F2. Now move the camera where you want to place it, then hit control + 1. CAM 1 will now be anchored to that spot. Hit F2 to go back to the starting position then repeat this process for the other 3 Cams.
control + 1 = CAM 1
control + 2 = CAM 2
control + 3 = CAM 3
control + 4 = CAM 4 (this is preset in Gato style interiors to the nav station)
4. Once your views are set just right click the mouse to jump from view to view. This is the exact sequence so you can plan accordingly
START ---> CAM 1
CAM 1 ---> CAM 2
CAM 2 ---> Conning Tower
Conning Tower ---> CAM 3
CAM 3 ---> START
now left click on the helmsman for his view then
HELM ---> CAM 4
CAM 4 --> START
Thats the loop.
Note: Nav map will go back to CAM 4
Observation scope will go back to CAM 3
Conning Tower Periscope 3D will go back to CAM 3
Any Free Cam will go back to START
All clickable items, hatches, views are still present.
5. To change the sequence to your liking simply edit the GoBack= line for any of the views.
I hope that helps. It really is a lot of fun.
