Free cam on deck - Page 3

I tried this with GWX 1.03 but the camera.dat file caused my binocular bearing not to work, it would display "0" all the time no matter where you looked, just thought I'd mention it!

I believe it was a 'known' side effect...but well worth the tradeoff IMO!

Now I'm confused.

I tried Serg's camera mod a while back, and it didn't let me do those things! It let me float around (and even through) the boat like a ghost. Did I install it wrong or is this the effect you refer to?

I think he means he roleplayed it. Moved the floating camera around like he was doing those things. I do the same with the similier mod in SH4 :P

Hi Liddabit.

Just a quick FYI as I am in a conference on TeamSpeak now.

We have completed the GWX camera files incorporating parts of Sergbuto's camera work without losing other improvements previously introduced by the GWX mod.

The new camera modifications will become default to GWX, and will not be introduced as an optional mod.

Cool stuff.

Ooo yay! But does that mean I have to download GWX 2.0 again?

No, it means you have to wait for gwx 2.1

Roger Liddabit,

The 2.1 fileset update will go right on top of GWX 2.0.

Did a search and found this! Is this function already in GWX2.1? If it is, how to use it? THX! Sorry for resurrecting this thread!

And while we're here I'd like to point out its Thursday again...all day.

Just figured out that I never used walking cam before :\ Would be appreciated if someone could remind me how to turn on this cam..

Sailor Steve · 05-29-08, 11:41 AM

If you have it installed just use the NumPad buttons. There is no 'on' or 'off'.

If you download and install Sergbuto's mod you will have two ' walk about' cameras in SH3

Sergbuto's Camera Mod
With this mod you can walk about on the bridge and also go down on to the deck. It can also be used in the control tower and on the lower deck. I do use it in the tower but not on the lower deck. Here I use the standard SH3 Shift+F2 key combination.

Shift+F2
This can only be used with safety in the Control Room and Radio room. Never try to go outside on deck - you'll end up with a black screen. You can walk up the ladder into the tower but this takes some practice. If you get it wrong, you'll also end up with a black screen. This isn't fatal but it is a nuisance.

Both mods use mouse movement to steer and look around and the keyboard arrow keys * to move. Sergbuto's mod is automatically activated when installed. The Shift+F2 is enabled by pressing those keys.

There are slight peculiarities with using both of them. They act as unofficial stations and if you move to another station using the shortcut icons, will leave the camera where you left it. You can get back them easily though.

This might sound complicated but it isn't really. Try it you'll soon get the hang of it!

I think that both add lots to the immersion factor and I'd hate to be without either of them.

Edit

* or the numpad keys - like Steve says!
