Modding cameras

Sniper297 · 02-24-14, 01:08 PM

I've tried downloading some free cam mods, not really what I'm looking for and a bit buggy, out of sectors and occasional crashes when changing to external cam view.

What I really want is to move some of the default views, for example change the control room view to starboard, facing port, instead of looking at the idiot at the chart table who looks like he's studying for a geography test. If possible remove him from the table so he's not blocking the view when I look around.

Also, if possible, add a second camera to the bridge in the starboard aft corner or on the cigarette deck. That would involve adding another hotkey someplace to switch between the standard location and the second one. I noticed the cameras.dat file has "interiorFore" and "interiorAft" but also stuff like UZO and captains bed along with assorted watch station views. I assume those are unused leftovers from SH3, any way to activate those?

Main thing is under the heading "Camera Positioner" the description says "CameraPositioner allows one to specify the positition of a virtual camera when activated".

Izzatso? How? I got an object ID number along with translation and rotation, but X Y and Z = true, true or false is not coordinate numbers, where are those?
