Where is that mod? I've looked for it and never could find it. Does it enable free roaming for more than the bridge view?

could you make it clip so you can't get "out of the sector"??

I want to. Some of the attempts I've made towards this end have been fruitless. The cameras.dat file is very much an enigma to me. You make changes such as adding a collision detect chunk to a camera, and it does nothing in-game. Weird stuff. I haven't put too much testing into collision dectection yet, considering most captains know better than to try to walk through the walls of thier subs.

I'm hoping we can all put our heads together and get everything squared away, because being able to walk around on the ship has been my and many others dream for a long time now.

Yes, the interior as well. I am not saying that cameras-file is perfect nor do I know if it is 1.5 proof. I also remember one odd thing in that file, but I may be wrong. Check it out...

The stock camera, using Shift-F2, allows you to roam in the control room and even the conning tower if you don't mind floating through the control room wall like Casper.

True, but it doesn't have the ship swaying, and you can't click on anything

Are you sure it lets you walk around? It doesn't seem to say anything about that...

Yep it does let you walk, or more correctly hover, around. TMaru has also had this feature for quite a long time.

It amazes me that it's never been advertised. At least not that I've seen...:hmm:

The only one I'd ever seen was by Sergbuto, and that was only for the outside bridge.

And we are all sure this is not the shift-F2 free camera, right?

Actually, the cameras of ROW and TMaru are (were?) pretty similar. Didn't find many differences when switching from one to the other.
With regards to your question: yep, 100% sure. Just make sure to click on a not-interactive area to get rid of the mouse cursor, and then roam around with your arrow keys.

wetwarev7 · 04-02-08, 10:06 AM

Well, that's just depressing. I worked my ass off for days to come up with something I thought was new and innovative, and that alot of people were wanting, only to find it's been done and no-one bothered to mention it.

I guess maybe I'll just go eat worms....
