In Game Cinematic Cam?

**♔Dignan♔** · June 29, 2008, 11:36 AM

Sorry if this topic has been beaten to death but I did quite a bit of searching and haven't found any recent discussion.

Has anyone developed a mod that includes a realtime (i.e. not movie making editor), in game cinematic camera option? Or, has anyone developed a camera hack or camera mod allowing you to rotate the camera angle all the way to the ground level to watch the battle?

I have hoped for this for some time and bought M2TW and Kingdoms some time ago and have recently returned to playing it. Just hoping there was some development on this. Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer my question.

Well, the ingame default camera system allows you to get extremely close to the ground to watch the battle. I don`t know if that`s what you are talking about but there isn`t anything else as far as I know.

I'm refering to the ability to get at "eye level" with the soldiers, like you see in the game trailers and the cinematic intros to each era. The default camera only allows your point of view to be directly over the heads of the soldiers. Close....but not "in the mix of it" so to speak. Months ago there was discussion about trying to do this but as far as I know it was never done. I recently got back into M2TW and was just curious to see if this had been addressed as it would be a great modificaiton to the game.

What you can do is to use the Cinematic Editor to zoom into the replay of your battle. You can't use it during the battle, just with the replay. There you can also create camera movements, save them and render them to make videos out of it. Just check the tutorial that I've linked you...

Thanks D | Need. I haven't had the motivation to really learn the cinematic editor. It looks really time consuming and I usually play campaign games in which you can't save replays. Thanks for the suggestion, I guess I'll have to settle for slightly overhead views.
