edm Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Just wondering if this kind of angle (behind the plate) would be possible in MVP 2005 by modding the datafile. For a batting view? Or does the games limitations prevent it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

five Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I'm sure it is possible, but it'd be kind of crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEagles Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 in the first two Triple Play games for the Genesis, they had a batting view kind of like that. Wan't as high up, but more or less the same view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlf2000 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I would like to see a camera angle taken from the stands (spectator view), so when you watch the computer play against computer, you can feel like you are in the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jservice Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I would like to see a camera angle taken from the stands (spectator view), so when you watch the computer play against computer, you can feel like you are in the stands. What seat would you what to sit in? Theres to many to choose from 3rd base/ 1st base/ bleecher bum / nose bleed etc. In game Mod's it should be more about game play and fixing what EA or others don't get right. Not watching a game. Because the best place to watch any game at any time is MLB.com TV. Watch all the games you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disengage Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 in the first two Triple Play games for the Genesis, they had a batting view kind of like that. Wan't as high up, but more or less the same view. but they also made pitches curve unrealisticly so you could see them, curveballs went out like 10 feet and ended up still going over the plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edm Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Thanks all. With the help of a very nice member who got me started, and toymenater's tutorial, I'm getting closer to this angle. One quick question though. As you can see in the screen shot below, the center of focus is the city in the background, instead of the stadium itself. Are there any camera variables in the datafile that change the center of focus? So the entire field would be viewable? Basically what I want to do is move the entire stadium upward, without changing the angle or zoom. Hope I explained that ok Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I think it's field 29 in the datafile, but I can't remember off-hand and I am not at my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edm Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 Thanks five. Just tried that but it didn't seem to have any effect. I also tried 30 and 31 which were all set to 0.000, but they didn't seem to affect anything either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know variable 41 controls the pitch, which angles the camera head up and down- looks to me like you need to make it more negative to center the view. It doesn't work in degrees- so you may have to play with it a little. If you send me along your datafile entries for the variables- or just a copy of the line of code- I'll play with it too. If you figure it out first PLEASE post your settings- as I have been looking for a cam like this since last year! Thanks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomarhits400 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Yeah...I was hoping edm would fill us in- but I guess this thread got a little buried...Maybe he's moved on to other things...I'd love to get this view working properly- So anyone who has had success with a blimp view- please let me know. Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnofsteel34 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 i would like that camera angle also :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzjob Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I think I got it down. Look, it's the Uecker Cam: It's a tiny bit off-center, as the camera seems to be pointing just to the left of second base, but it doesn't bother me. I can't seem to figure out the heading entry in the datafile...I may monkey with it a bit more, I may not. If anybody's curious as to the datafile settings, here you go...changes I made are in bold: ;0 1;2 1;3 1;4 1;5 0;6 1;7 ;8 ;9 ;10 ;11 None;12 ;13 bpposAway1;14 0;15 -450.000;16 600.000;17 -450.000;18 X#Y#Z;19 X#Y#Z;20 X#Y#Z;21 0.950;22 0.500;23 ;24 ;25 None;26 Waist;27 ;28 PitcherMound;29 0.000;30 0.000;31 0.000;32 ;33 None;34 Waist;35 0.20;36 ;37 0;38 0.00;39 0.00;40 ;41 -0.400;42 0.803;43 0.000;44 0;45 Pitch#Heading#Roll;46 Pitch#Heading#Roll;47 ;48 0.950;49 0.950;50 0.950;51 0.950;52 ;53 80.00;54 0;55 0;56 1.00;57 72.00;58 0.000;59 FOV;60 FOV;61 ;62 0;63 Actor1;64 0;65 1.000;66 0;67 0;68 1.000;69 0;70 ;71 0;72 0.500;73 0.500;74 ;75 0;76 ;77 Default;78 8.0;79 1.000;80 0;81 0.00;82 0.00;83 ;84 ;85 ;86 Absolute;87 Absolute;88 ;89 Time#X,SplineX#Y,SplineY#Z,SplineZ#Pitch,SplinePitch#Heading,SplineHeading#Roll,SplineRoll#FOV,SplineFOV#LetterBox,SplineLetterBox;90 Time#SplineX,SplineY,SplineZ,SplinePitch,SplineHeading,SplineRoll,SplineFOV,SplineLetterBox;91 Time#SplineX,SplineY,SplineZ,SplinePitch,SplineHeading,SplineRoll,SplineFOV,SplineLetterBox;92 ;93 0.330,1,3#SplineX,SplineY,SplineZ,SplinePitch,SplineHeading,SplineRoll,SplineFOV,SplineLetterBox;94 ;95 0;96 0;97 0;98 ;99 "He missed the tag!"

Mooterus Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Can someone tell me how to actually edit the dat files? I looked at all the tutorials, and all I can see out of them is what changes to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Grab this, it will make it easier to get started. Once you've decompressed it, just edit it in wordpad or something and when you're finished just compress it back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
