More Camera Issues....

Sythalin · 01-13-10, 12:58 AM

DCam updated with a new spiffy GUI, but I forgot about an issue. It seems that once DCam is installed and used, it screws up the camera for the entire game, even if disabled and logged back in.

1) It continuously resets to a view upon movement
2) Scroll zooming stops working.

This has been an issue since the first incarnation of the mod. I just haven't been able to figure out the cause and how to fix/work around it.

To save issues for others, I've opted to pastey the code (in it's entirety, mind you) instead of passing out a mod that's breaking things. If you really want to run the risk, I'll give out the file for testing, but hold no responsibility for it. I'm still trying to get mine back to normal without having to delete the config files.

Just by looking at it I see that you set the camera distance and mult to non-existing variables at line 39 and 40.

Code:

SetCVar("cameraDistanceMaxFactor", camMult) 
SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax", camMax)

SHOULD be:

Code:

SetCVar("cameraDistanceMaxFactor", DCam_Var.camMult) 
SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax", DCam_Var.camMax)

And I think that the problem you described perfectly fits the situation of a nil cameraDistanceMax.

That was it. Thought I learned last time I tried coding while I was tired.

Thanks!

Try coding when you were about to pass out three hours ago. Good times.
