REL: Extended FreeCam 1.0 - Page 7

Hi Stormfly

Firstly, my belated compliments on the modifications you made to your freecam mod.

It has completely solved the instability in the Radio Room area and is a joy to use. Would not dream of being without it.

The only drawback I see at the moment is that it conflicts with Anvart's use of the Radioman in his latest RDF and Radar mods.

I would dearly love to be able to use these mods together with yours.

Is there any possibilty of making Extended Freecam compatible?

Yes Stormfly. These were the files I had in mind. I should have have linked them in my post. Apologies

and thanks to Txema

for remedying my omission.

As i was asked for...

this is a general "how to" that may help making Extended Freecam compatible to other mods.

Copy entire section of "[Cmd7]" out of Extended Freecam mod files "Commands_de.cfg" and/or "Commands_en.cfg" and insert it into your specific command files. (Of course, you´re also able to specify another key for that later using "setkeys.exe" tool)

Also search for all lines beginning with "GoBack=", and insert them into your specific command files.

Regarding abnormalitys in optics of OBS Persicope/Periskop/UZO/Binocluar do the following:

Open your specific "Cameras.dat" with Silent 3ditor and compare / transver
values of sections:

Node_Dummy_Cam_UZO
Optical
CameraParams

Node_Dummy_Cam_Obs_Periscope
Optical
CameraParams

Node_Dummy_Cam_Periscope
Optical
CameraParams

Node_Dummy_Cam_Binocular
Optical
CameraParams

...into Extended Freecam "Cameras.dat".

I installed the mod and it works great!!! However, the "Home" and "End" keys on the number pad which raise and lower the free-cam do not work anymore... any ideas on how to fix this?

EDIT: btw I'm using GWX 3.0 with the included OpenHatch mod

Hi,

as i had to find additional keys for users that have no num pad (notebooks), i had to add addtional keys for functions like go_back"/"WO_identify_Target"/"WO_make_fireing_solution".

I decided to use "Home" and "End" keys for this, as i change hight by aiming the cam to the ceiling or button, by moving into that direction.

If you wont use this technic, you can use "SetKeys" to change those keys back to its original functions.

CaptainNemo12 · 10-15-09, 06:14 PM

Thanks, where can I get SetKeys?

SquareSteelBar · 10-16-09, 04:06 AM

SetKeys 1.3

CaptainNemo12 · 10-17-09, 09:35 AM

Whenever I click on the executable file for SetKeys, it gives me an error saying that the application failed to initialize properly... what gives?

CaptainNemo12 · 10-17-09, 10:14 AM

Nevermind, I got it working properly, turns out .Net wasnt installed on my pc. How do I change the keys back? I can't seem to find the commands for raising and lowering the free camera in the Setkeys menu

Sag75 · 10-17-09, 10:52 PM

Hi, thanks a lot for this mod, it works very well to me!

I've only this issue: when I click on Watch Officer I jump suddently some meters above the conning tower! Is there a fix for that? I use the GWX version.

thanks,

yes, i found this bug also a week ago... have to disconnect him by also delivering the regarding customised object camera control files. It will be part of the next update.

CaptainNemo12 · 10-18-09, 12:25 PM

Can you also please release a version with the stock or original GWX keymaps? I can't seem to fix the camera controls with setkeys.

Thanks

I'm wondering why you need to assign key strokes to raise and lower the freecam view?

Extended Freecam needs only one keyboard press ( the up arrow ) with simultaneous mouse movement, to raise/lower view, climb,descend etc.
