Need Help with Cameras.dat

MRV · 11-10-06, 04:02 PM

This is my first post here, although I have been playing SH3 and using mods of all kinds from about the games release on. ;-)

Thanks @ all for the great work by the way!

Now I have one Question about the Camera View in the "Zentrale":

I tried both the Cameras.dat that comes with GW as well as CCIP's Cameramod, all with the same issue about the interior view: it seems to be zoomed out a bit, with visible stretching on the screens edges. Which is really irritating because ur sub looks a little big for a sub in WW2, if you know what I mean.

I noticed that this only happens in standard "Zentrale"-View, when I'm in the radio room, conning tower or aft part of the Zentrale, zoom seems normal and the room appears nice and sub-like ;-)

Also: when I start a patrol or load a game, Zoom is normal, as soon as I swich views and return to the Interior, there is that zoomed out view again.

I'd try to edit the Cameras.dat but havent found a tool for it so far.

If anyone can help, please respond.

Welcome Aboard MRV

I don't have the knowledge or skills to help sorry. But hang in there.
There are a whole lot that can.

Might be a good one for Stabiz to answer. He'll be in port soon to answer.

Or even not...............

I read in the Cameramod-Thread that the .dat can be edited with SH3 Inspector or Mini Tweaker, but I'm unable to find the option to open that file.

At second I ask myself if the Cameras.dat really is the Problem, because its the same as hundreds of other Users have and well......it appears I'm the only one with that problem.......

EDIT:

I now have found a way to edit the Cameras.dat via Mini Tweaker......unfortunately the Tweak File provided by Timetraveller is most likely the stock file from SH3.

Someone has a modified tweak file of the Cameras.dat by CCIP?

Also: what kind of value in there determines the interior Zoom?

EDIT 2:

forget the last question, just found it.......

I now found the Values and discovered something strange, that zoomed out view ONLY appears aboard a Type II "Zentrale" View, which I'm just using in Career Mode (kinda cute thing *g*) in all other U-boats the setting for the Angular Angle does apply (changed it to 50 now, looks great)

Whats up with that value when using a Type II?
