Making a Camera Mod?

[tttt]

What lines are resposible for the Pitcher and Batter views in the datafile.txt? I have EAZip and uncompressed the file but do not know what I am looking for to change.

Thanks,

<BattingView6RightLow>

<BattingView6RightHi>

<BattingView6LeftLow>

<BattingView6LeftHi>

6 is reversed camera (pitching view)

4 is center view

1 hitter's eye

[tttt]

So am I only concerned with changing:

0xbed1924f 97<BattingView6RightLow>

or am I also needing to change all the numbers after that line in the datafile.txt?

[squeegeedeadly]

you need to change some numbers after depending on what you want to do. You should download the camera tutorial from 2004 and my latest camera mod where i show in the readme what was changed.

[tttt]

I downloaded the latest one of yours but it does not say anything in the Readme file about what was changed.

Are you talking about the > Camera Adjustment Tutorial.doc?

[squeegeedeadly]

Yes, Camera Adjustment tutorial. My changes in the readme are in First person camera view mod and not Camera mod 2.

here they are:

<BattingView4RightLow>;15 27.000;16 58.000;17 7.000;41 -0.185;42 0.403;53 80.00;

<BattingView4RightHi>;15 27.000;16 58.000;17 7.000;41 -0.185;42 0.403;53 80.00;

<BattingView4LeftHi>;15 7.000;16 58.000;17 27.000;41 -0.185;42 1.203;53 80.00;

<BattingView4LeftLow>;15 7.000;16 58.000;17 27.000;41 -0.185;42 1.203;53 80.00;

<BattingView6RightLow>;15 489.793;16 82.022;17 489.793;41 -0.019;42 -2.325;53 60.00;54 1;

<BattingView6RightHi>;15 489.793;16 82.022;17 489.793;41 -0.019;42 -2.325;53 60.00;54 1;

<BattingView6LeftLow>;15 489.793;16 82.022;17 489.793;41 -0.019;42 -2.325;53 60.00;54 1;

<BattingView6LeftHi>;15 489.793;16 82.022;17 489.793;41 -0.019;42 -2.325;53 60.00;54 1;

[tttt]

Could you explain what each of these entries represent. For example...

<BattingView4RightLow>;15 27.000;16 58.000;17 7.000;41 -0.185;42 0.403;53 80.00;

The tutorial explain them well. You really need to do small changes and see what it does until you get the camera you want.

from the tutorial:

"For each labeled line, there is a set of values used to configure the camera. However, in order to tweak the camera, you only need to deal with a few of the settings:

14 x-axis setting (15 this year)

15 y-axis setting (16 this year)

16 z-axis setting(17 this year)

40 pitch (41 this year)

41 heading (42 this year)

52 field-of-view (53 this year)

53 distance relative field-of-view" (54 this year)

[tttt]

Which value represnts the distance from the pitcher to home plate? Example: making the distance a little longer away looking.

[squeegeedeadly]

X and Z is the position of the camera on the field.

y is it's height.

If you want your camera closer to pitcher, you increase XZ toward positive. If you want it farther from the pitcher you decrease more into the negatives.

[tttt]

How did you make the pitcher mound look so far away from homeplate?

[amuroray2000]

Hey, squeegee!

I just downloaded your first person camera mod. I put the text file into the data folder. But when I play the game the camera is still the same. I don't get a first person view. Something I did wrong?

X and Z is the position of the camera on the field.

y is it's height.

If you want your camera closer to pitcher, you increase XZ toward positive. If you want it farther from the pitcher you decrease more into the negatives.

I got the camera where I want it... but how do I move the pitch meter around? On left handed batters it gets hidden under the diamond window.

[squeegeedeadly]

amuroray2000, my mod is for batting view 4 (center) and 6 (reversed pitching). Maybe you were using hitter's eye camera?

tttt, I dont know how to move the pitch meter. You will have to move the camera a bit so the pitch meter doesn't get in the way. You could increase the field of view (#53), move the y (16 vertical positioning of the camera), move the pitch (41 vertical directioning) or heading (42 horizontal directioning of the camera). I would increase the field of view a bit first and see if it does it.

thank you...
