Changing ship camera settings

Mon Jun 02, 2003 7:43 pm by species8472

Hi,
I've noticed that on many ship mods I've downloaded, the camera is often placed inconveniently for flying in 'chase' mode. There are several camera settings under each ship's entry in the shiparch.ini file, but the ones I've tweaked so far have not caused any visible changes. Is there a way to adjust the camera position to compensate for larger ships?

Thanks,

In shiparch.ini you need the following line:

camera_offset = 20, 180

the second number, 180 here, determines how far away from the model to place the chase camera for external view, not turret view. To change the turret view you need to find the ships cockpit ini file and look for:

[TurretCamera
tether = 0.000000, 13.913400, 62.000000

the third number is the distance form the ship for the turret camera.

Victor i hope you dont mind me borrowing you post

In shiparch.ini you need the following line:

camera_offset = 20, 180

the first number, 20 here, determines how high the model is from the bottom of the screen in chase camera for external view, not turret view. To change the turret view you need to find the ships cockpit ini file and look for:

[TurretCamera
tether = 0.000000, 13.913400, 62.000000
