Period/Comma views all messed up

kdv · 11-05-09, 09:07 AM

Recently installed an add-on, that messed up my period and comma views ( . + , )

I won't say what the add-on was, but I wound up removing it and going back to what I had, but the views are still buggered.

When a ship is sighted, you hit "." twice, first to view your own boat, then the target. When I hit the "." now, the camera switches to way up in the sky, where I can rotate it at weird angles, till it falls into the sea.

Any ideas on what to do to fix this?

Main mods are GWX3+Commander.

Sounds like your camera.dat file is all screwed up. I would uninstall all mods and see if it solves the problem. If it does, try checking your mods for this file (data/library/camera) and see which one or ones have changed this file, add the mod and see what happens.
If this doesn't work, you might be in for a new install.

Irish is correct, I get that intermittently on a couple of my installs.

When you reboot the game it should right itself though

Hmm, have launched SH3 about 3 times now since the problem first exhibited itself. Nothing has corrected yet, probably won't.

It's not a big deal, I do like having the option of seeing what I'm firing at without having to free-cam out to the target.

I will live with the issue rather that reinstall the whole works.

BTW, it was a GUI I had installed - trying something new. Rolled back to the GWX version though, like it better

.

Just thought of something, if it is the camera.dat file, would swapping it out with one that works properly work ie somebody else's copy that isn't messed up?

Make a JSGME mod install with another GWX camera file and activate it to see. I can send you one if you don't have it. PM me with your email address if you need it.
