Title: Request: change camera angle
Post by: Kit Fisto on November 21, 2012, 10:23:55 PM
I was wondering if someone could change the camera angle of everything in SWBF PC to the camera angle in the PS2. I seem to like that view more.  8)
Don't worry about online compatibility.
So yea, this is only my 2nd request ever ( :rofl: )so I would be super happy if someone could compete it!  :tu:

I would like to know how to change the ending screenshot camera angle, myself.

I think that is defined in the mission.lvl file.  Take a look at the cloud city lua for an example.

Just open your map with SPTest, in pause mode (Escape), click free camera, and choose view, what you need. Then in console mode (click `), tipe: getcamerapos, click Enter. You should see coordinates. Try remember all of them! :sick: Then exit to windows, open Mission.LUA, and in the bottom of it, rewrite new coordinates, or at least, some of them, which you remember... :D

I remember playing a mission map that came with the main play mod that made the victory/defeat screen right where you were, like in SWBFII. How did he do that?

I think, for this, will be enough to delete all coordinates from Mission.LUA at all. But it caused not realy nice view, at blue "choose character" screen menu.

There is actually a command, dumpcamera. It will dump the current camera position to a file called CameraCoords.txt in it you will find all the camera positions you requested to be dump in LUA form ready for dropping into the LUA script.

That's pretty cool! Would you be able to make it so that it does the victory screen in front of you? Like instead of showing your back like in SWBFII it would "turn" the camera and it would show the front of you?

That wouldn't be very logical kit. But it would be neat... Perhaps if we can find a variable that has to do with the the current player's co-ordinates... I doubt anything like that exists though.

I think ggtuck figured out how to do it...
Who here has the Main Play Mod ( 6.0 ) and the cloud city Jedi vs clones mission map that came with it?

Upload the ps2 mission.lvl and I might be able to try hexing over the camera values to the pc mission

Well this isn't really an official request anymore, just a topic to talk about changing the victory/defeat screens. I think...

I'd like to stick the camera to the side more (over the shoulder sort of thing), but that's just me.

JDEE/BARC is doing that in his 1.5 mod, I think.
