HOOD Camera view for vehicles!!
- Thread starter Maenguita
- Start date
IT might be doable by edit to camera_free.xtbl
However, the change would be on always, until one exited the game and removed teh mod
in order to go back to default camera view. NO idea how one could make a toggle in game to do such.
I'm not up to jiggling with the edits as it would take a BUNCH of trial anad error on my part but
I suspect it is doable via Z axis alterations in the submodes sections in that file in sections generally titled VEHICLE_
but there is quite a few submodee sections.
If you need a copy of that file, I uploaded STeves Better Camera Mod to the Mods section on this site, about a week ago or so.
In there, you will find that file and its just a ascii file. You might be able to puzzle it out.
If ya do, let everyone know.
look for sections like this in that file, lots of them so a lot of tweak attempts would be needed :
<submode>
<name>vehicle driver</name>
<Aspect>standard</Aspect>
<lookat_offset>
<X>0.0</X>
<Y>1.3</Y>
<Z>0.0</Z>
</lookat_offset>
<min_elevation>-35</min_elevation>
<max_elevation>55</max_elevation>
<base_fov>50</base_fov>
<z_dist>8</z_dist>
<y_dist>1.5</y_dist>
<blend_time>1.0</blend_time>
<override_exit_blend_time>False</override_exit_blend_time>
<x_shift>0.0</x_shift>
</submode>
Im going to hazard a guess z_dist might be a start point.

Based on my experiments with a first person vehicle mod, I think that vehicle_cameras.xtbl is the(or another) file that needs changing. Most of the vehicles have different camera positions in there.
Modifying the z_dist, as Uzi mentioned, would be where I'd start, but I don't think it will work out well.
I modified just a few vehicles, and setting the z_dist to 0.0 moved the camera into the cockpit, probably at the centre of the vehicle. And using negative values didn't work, they were treated as positive values, so in those cases, it wouldn't work.

Check this shit out. Fucking brilliant:
awesome!
Man, that is depressingly great.
Great for obvious reasons.
Depressing cause I went to that YOutube and see nothing about how to find the mod, and
the fellow has not posted a peep since posting a week ago, and I notice he has one post
and joined Youtube with that account name on

So good luck if he makes contact, Idol!
Could be his English is only as good your Japanese, and how good is that?
Google Translate might work, but it could start a war too.
