Next Unit view in TM and RSRD

Archive1 · 07-31-08, 10:35 PM

The "Next View" option accessed by the "." (period keyboard command) that is available with stock SH4 does not work for me (running TM Overhaul and the TM version of RSRD). Does anyone with modding experience know how to get that up and running again? Always enjoyed using it to view underwater DC explosions and to examine attacks from the target's viewpoint. No longer available.

Another question: Will SH4 accept *.tga files in place of *.dds files? I thought I might substitute for the 'damage_metal_a.dds' a 'damage_metal_a.tga' file that incorporates some of the excellent torpedo damage modifications available in SH3, but do not know if the program would read it into the code. Anybody know?

11.) How do i get the next/ previous camera back?

The easiest way is to open the /data/cfg/commands.cfg in TMO. Search for " [Cmd50] " Your looking for these two blocks:

[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 remove the semicolon placed in front of the key assignment, and you have the next/previous cameras back. Note: this will restore hotkeys. It will not restore the buttons on the ordersbar.

Doing this doesn't work in the latest version.

Thanks to you both TDK1044 and Firewall. Have made the change. It looks like this advice came out of a manual or list of FAQs. Have I missed available documentation somewhere that I could/should have looked into first?

Just answered my last question - I see that the FAQ list on page one of the TM Overhauled thread lists several questions including this one. Should have remembered that. My apologies.
