Idea for Camera mod ive had

[Ducimus]

Open in notepad
\SH3\data\Cfg\Commands_en.cfg


Using the find function, type in "Cmd50"

That will bring you to this block:

[Cmd50]
Name=Camera_on_next_unit
Ctxt=1
Key0=0xBE,,">"
Page=0x34000000,3714

[Cmd51]
Name=Camera_on_prev_unit
Ctxt=1
Key0=0xBC,,"<"
Page=0x34000000,3714

Simply put in a semicolon before the Key line. Semicolon is how you remark something out in SH3 cfg files. Although you have to be careful, some files are sensitive to whitespace while others are not. ANyway, it should now read

[Cmd50]
Name=Camera_on_next_unit
Ctxt=1
;Key0=0xBE,,">"
Page=0x34000000,3714

[Cmd51]
Name=Camera_on_prev_unit
Ctxt=1
;Key0=0xBC,,"<"
Page=0x34000000,3714

Bingo, no more target cam. Just the F12 free view. Ive toyed with that before obviously. My only complaint is i havent been successful in limiting the freecams parameters so for example, cant look at the surface while submerged.

Then you would not be able to take screenshots, and Stabiz would not be able to make movies. What kind of stupid mod this would be ?

[Kruger]

You mean you would like your SH3 external camera, to behave just like the external camera in Enigma The Rising Tide . It aloowd you to see your sub and rotate around it...that;s all.

yah, prett much.

Really the answer to this is to simply only ever press "." or "," once to highlight your own boat and not use F12 or futhur presses of "," or ".". There's not really a need for crippling a feature you can either A) turn off entirely or B) simply not use.

as someone pointed out..this is the modding forum...a place to discuss modding....:rotfl:

[CB..]

you can kill the F12" view like this Duc'


[Cmd9]
Name=User_free_camera
Ctxt=1,2,9
MnID=0x3F02000B
;Key0=0x7B,,"F12"
Key1=0x7B,c,""
Key2=0x7B,s,""

comment out the f12 line

i could never resist the temptation to take a look and it does spoil the atmosphere... i leave the next ship stuff as stock as it is pretty useless in combat as it never (or rarely) shows you the destroyer that is attacking you ..or only after you have panned thru half a dozen others ..even then your not sure your looking at the right one ...

[Respenus]

Or you can always turn the realism on a bit and get rid of the external camera completely

[CB..]

realism what's that..?:rotfl:

[stabiz]

I can see why some of the über-kaleuns would want this, but its not for me. Not because of movies or screenshots, but mainly because I like panning around looking at stuff. I actually think the free cam is one of the best features in SH3. (As it is in Rome: Total War)
