[REQ] External camera and the cascading water effect.

sevn_up · 07-03-07, 10:47 AM

Does anybody know how to remove the water effect from the external camera when the camera goes underwater and then surfaces? It kind of gets old when you looking at ships at water level in the middle of a storm and the waves constantly submerge the external camera then you have to wait for the water to finish cascading off the camera. Any help would be much appreciated.

Welcome

This has been talked about in the past, don't think anything was done as far as a mod though, not sure if it is possible:hmm:

As far as the effect itself, some like it, some don't. I personally like it.

But it is all personal choice right

Perhaps somebody else can shed some light on this.

Good Hunting

what external camera exactly?
free cam / deckgun / periscope / conning tower ?

He is talking about the periscope view I believe. The water cascading off it ( lens ) when raising it, same effect in a storm as well.

I think its the lens distortion (water refraction) or?

Is it possible to mod, I remember a thread\question awhile back about this, but have not noticed discussion since. As mentioned I like the existing effect, but again that is me.

Thanks guys. I was referring to the free roaming external camera. Thanks KV29 for the filename. I will check that out.

Had a very!!!! brief look at

Quote:

CameraEffects DropsDuration=4
CameraEffects BlurDuration=3
CameraEffects Radius=0.03

but as i said brief, but so far no luck

This may be a stupid question but when I look at the cameras.dat file, it shows encrypted data. Why is this? Is there some certain program or application that I should use to edit these entries.

Yeah - you need to be using the great minitweaker program for changing these files - see tutorial here for explanation and where to find the program and the tweak files:
