Camera mod...Closer radar screen tweek

Canonicus · 06-17-07, 10:02 PM

I'm a little perplexed myself....looks like Anvart hasn't made any changes to the Camera file, yet his mod does what it does, regardless.

How can there be visible changes and those changes not be reflected in the values found in the only dat file that effects the view of the Radar screen? :hmm:

The changes he's made come from some other program....or there's another file his mod is using.

Would be interesting to know what that might be. Perhaps Anvart will share his secret?.....

Or... like the question... "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? "......the world, ( or the SH4 modding community, in this case), may never know.

While updating the cameras.dat tweak file to work with 1.4 I found a bug in the cameras.dat file. The section that is labeled Radioroom Radar doesn't effect the PPI, it effects the A scope. The section labled Radioroom Radar_AScope effects the PPI. The 1.2 tweak file just used the labels from withing the file and thus perpetuated the bug.

The reason you all couldn't see the changes that were made was they were mislabeled. You weren't actually looking at the changed areas.
