Was sent this via PM and am told its the original msts camhack

Code: Select all

Skip (
This file defines the basic camera types.

Camera types:
StaticCamType Pos + rot
ObjectCamType Object relative pos + rot
TrackingCamType Track object offset
HeliCamType Heli model camera

Control types:
NoCamControl
RotCamControl Rotate (look around)
FullCamControl

Some cameras can be placed in a terrain tile's world file. E.g. the spotter can be
positioned and will then track the appropriate train object. This world file entry
need not include the fov, etc (since these can be defined here)..

Camera ( SpotterCam
Position ( 0 0 0 )
Rotation ( 0 0 0 )
)

To Do:
- Add camera IDs and creation code for user camera types?
- Use a string to identify the cameras defined here (rather than the current SToken ID)?

Sorry Sam - I completely mis-read your post.

Before diving in and re-editing your camcfg file, what is it you do not like about the camhack you are using?
One thing to be aware of is that there are several available from different authors and, most importantly, they are not cumulative. What I mean is, my cam hack

Camera Hack v1. [7777 bytes] - Cam Hack v1.zip
File ID: 14732 Date: 18 Jun 2006 - 2112 Downloads

Is called v1 because it is the one version I have done. I didn't do a v2 or a v3 or a v4 etc because I was happy with what I created. The v3 you have is NOT an update of my file.

What I'm suggesting is, give this one a try. If you don't like it, or there is anything you don't like. Let me know. I appreciate feedback.

Best regards

Michael

CamHackIII is not a version 3, and no where does it suggest such. (Was Henry VIII the eighth version of Henry?) When it was first uploaded, back in 2001, it was the third cam hack file to be released. Now the three authors of I, II and III could all have called there's I, because each was their first, but that wouldn't be helpful to downloaders who might get confused with three files all called the same. Now your one is called version 1 and you are having to explain to people that it hasn't been updated by other higher numbered alternatives! Maybe the fact yours was released in 2006 when III was released in 2001 is a clue though.

I have tried yours aswell. What i dont like about the hacks is the no. 3 view you cant move the cam unless you right click and press loads of buttons. i just like the swivel camera. Apart from that i dont mind them

My camhacks and mike's definately don't do that, AFAIK that is the panoramic feature of Cam Hack vIII, unless you mean view 6 that is.

It is definatly view three. you just see the rear side of the train and you have to right and move the mouse to "free view". im sure it was cam hack 3 and another version but i cant remeber which one. anyway so can i open up the camcfg in notepad and paste the above information that you wrote richard?
Thanks

Hi All,

As the camfcg topic is getting an airing, I thought I would raise this.

I have had Camera Hack v1. installed for a very long time now (and very good it is too Mike), but I have always experienced problems when using View 4 (Spotter cam?) with just a few (Player) locomotives, mainly Steam.

When the camera sets up for a close to the track pan, as the loco gets close to the camera the sim locks up and then returns to Trainstore. I wondered if anyone experiences this, two locomotives that come to mind (only because I've used them lately) are BD_4MT_Crab_42798 & BR Class 8P No.46256 Sir William Stanier FRS.

It may of course be a problem with the set up of the locos, can anyone give any advice please?

Cheers,

Robert.

Do you ever get close enough to see strange transparency? Just thinking it might be crashing at the point where you would suddenly see through the train.

That's summat to do with the zclip value for the camera.
