Vehicle Size and Cameras

[Ascertes]

Hello fellow SWBFGamers! Today I come to you with a small (actually quite large) problem. I may have gone and accidentally made a flyable acclamator cruiser (okay maybe it wasn't an accident but, that' not the point!) I need some help with my new ship.

Firstly, this thing is way too big and bulky to have any practical use. Is there any way I can scale down its sheer size with its ODF file?

Secondly, I can't figure out how to get the camera to zoom out. Currently its stuck inside the ship itself for third person, which isn't very nice. I'm not sure which camera properties to edit, so I could use some help there.

Any help with this tiny (huge) problem is greatly appreciated, as always

Make an msh option file for your ship's model and put -scale -5.0 in it, of course -5.0 is an example. Your number can be anything but it has to be negative to lower size.

"EyePointOffset" within the ODF controls the camera, with the values representing X, Y and Z positions respectively.

So I just have to create an OPTION file and put "-scale -5.0"? Sounds simple enough!

Funny thing is, those are the values I've been adjusting. They don't do anything and I've bumped them up to really high numbers...

It may seem like the camera numbers aren't doing anything but it may be because your controllable model is sooo large you can't tell a difference. Make the option file with -scale parameter first and get that the way you want it then when it is small enough it should be viewable like normal.
