Naval Camera Question

[Darth_Pleb]

Hello

I posted this sowewhere else bit this seems to be the correct Empire mod forum.

Is there a camera mod or would it be possible to be able to drop the camera down to sea level in Naval Battle mode?

Please help.

Thanks,

Both the mouse wheel and I think either 'c/v' or 'z/x' change the camera height during a sea or land battle.

Edit: 'z' and 'x' slide the camera up and down (same as the mouse wheel) 'c' and 'v' tilt the camera up and down.

I think this is the thread you are looking for, though I found this in the demo I have not tried it with the full version, if you use it tell me if it works

Unfortunately, you can't get the camera to sea-level using the z/x keys, or the mouse wheel. I think it stops a couple of meters above, Level with the top deck of a Sloop, I think. Pressing the insert key while having a ship selected takes you on-deck (if it's a single-deck) and below deck if it's 2 or more) HOWEVER, this way, the camera is restricted to two feilds of view; facing to stern or facing to starboard-stern. In other words, you can't really do much.

Pressing the insert key during land battles is loads of fun though, you get "Bullet-cam" and "Cannon-ball cam." which follows right behind said projectiles when they're fired, right up until they hit. Don't think that works with navel battles though.

that trick works with the script file... great thank you!

Now is there a trick to get rid of all the HUD elements like a quick key or something?

Thanks!

Hmmm... seems that it keeps reseting into Standard cam mode when you play a land battle.... wonder if there is a way that it doens't override the whole time.
