Off-Center UZO

Sailor Steve · 02-09-09, 10:26 AM

Does anybody know why my UZO centerline isn't centered? Or how I can fix it?

I am assuming you are looking at the dashe lines? The target lines are the solid lines. The dashed ones are to the side to keep from cluttering the screen during targeting.

I assume he means the centerline, which is clearly off to the right. Probaly some mod doing that. Which is btw the "functional" centerline of the UZO right now, the line or the middlepoint of the overlay?

Sailor Steve · 02-09-09, 11:27 AM

The line itself. As you can see it is locked onto the destroyer.

Fr8monkey · 02-09-09, 12:56 PM

Oops. Didn't notice that.

wow steve, thats a new one, what mods have you enabled?

Sailor Steve · 02-09-09, 02:25 PM

A bunch. I'll have to bring the exact list from home, but they include GWX3 and several of its add-ons, Waterstreams and Smoke for same, and the newest Freecam mod. My first suspicion would be FLB Sales' Simfeeling 6-Dials Mod, but I've had it all along and not seen this before.

I'd just like to know where that line is and how to move it.

Hi Sailor Steve,
Having the wrong Cameras.dat causes that problem, it can be found in the folder ....data/Library/Cameras.dat. Try running with no mods and see if this corrects it, if not then your Cameras.dat needs replacing with the correct one.

Sailor Steve · 02-09-09, 09:46 PM

Sounds like a treat, since I know I'm using an alternate. I'll try some different ones and see what happens. Thanks.

Your welcome steve, looks like you've got OLC's GUI Camera.dat (old version picture) - see below.
The centre line was moved to the right to allow for the left side dials.

Sailor Steve · 02-10-09, 03:28 PM

Okay, it's fixed!

Badwolf was right, it was the Cameras.dat. I don't think it was OLC's, since though I have it in my files I don't use it. It might have been the new freecam mod, since I use that, but I don't remember noticing it before.

Anyway, I used Silent 3ditor to copy the parameters from the stock one and paste them to the one I use, and it works great.

Thanks all!

Now I have to find out how to use it to make the UZO and periscope pictures fill the screen the way the binoculars do.

Great news Sailor Steve.
