Mod Suggestion: Freeze Camera Mod

filipe1020 · Postby **filipe1020** » Sun Mar 18, 2012 1:27 am

Hi, I am a video maker, and I really need a kind of mod that you can be able to freeze the camera in a specific place, and you still can move the car without the camera chasing you, I totally need that mod for my videos and I have lot's of ideas with it but i cant do it without the mod, so please if someone can be able to make it real i will be happy, something like when you press V and move the camera around the car, but instead of this, a camera that you press and don't move, I think you know what I am trying to talk about.

You can achieve this by editing the camera files. I've done some camera editing, but I haven't had much success--I've never really gotten exactly what I want. I know Zac has made a lot of different edited cameras and I think he might have one that would work for what you want. They might not be online anymore and I'm not sure he visits here anymore.

Yeah but my idea was making this to be able with every car, just like the Camera when you press V, because I don't feel like using custom cars, I only enjoy to make videos with the default cars from the game.

Well you can edit the camera files of the default cars. All you really need to do is create a camera that works how you want, then create copies and name each of them appropriately so that they replace the cameras of all the default cars, and any other cars you want to use.

The hard part is making the camera exactly how you want it.

I just want a camera that don't moves or anything, it's simple, also you mean to use the MM2 ultimate tweaker right? Well here is a problem, whatever i try to open it it crashes.

Yeah, I understand. I might still have a camera edit I made that works like that. You can edit the cameras so that they don't move.

I always use notepad when editing files. So if MM2UT won't work for you, then you can use notepad.

EDIT: I checked my files and it looks like I don't have that camera edit I made anymore. Sorry.

But how I would manage to create that non moveable camera for the default cars on the notepad and what is the name of the file? I seriously need it you know

Well you can easily edit all the values with notepad, the only thing that would make it hard would be that none of the values are explained. The main camera file is called [carname].camPovCS. Others are [carname]_near.camPovCS, [carname]_far.camPovCS.

But what is the name of the notepad where the camera is?

2) Download the 2nd-last tutorial and follow its instructions.
3) If you want to see example of how its done, watch the first few minutes of the last tutorial on my site (called "How to Add Reflections to MM2 Screenshots").

Or you should just look at Zac's MM2 Camera Secret Tutorial Thread.

BTW is it hard-coded how many cams a vehicle has? If not we would be able to add a lot of different views, like the side view that some add-on cars have where you can see the front wheel. The problem was always that it had to replace others. Would be nice to have like 5 different views or even more. I have many Ideas for that.

^^ Yes it is. Why didn't I get a reply to the message I sent to Rockstar San Diego?

Maybe it's in progress. They have other e-mails that are more important, I'm sure! And maybe it is just bad luck. I mean there's a service and there are different people there. Some would think about the mail: "Forget it, we don't give other people the source code, I'll delete that" but others would think: "Hmm, I'll ask the one who is responsible for that" and if you're lucky the one who is responsible is a nice person and will give you the source code. I think a few of us should try to send a mail cuz then more employees will read the mail and then we'll get one with a better attitude.

Maybe yes, maybe not. But it has to be limited to 5 cameras total; dashboard, thrill, far, close, bonnet. Additionally left, right and back views on bonnet cam via 4, 2 and 6 num keys.

It's also almost same on the other games by Angel, except no dash view and thrill cam (without MM1).

Also, R* will never answer you. You will just lose your time with this. No such thing of e-mail in progress. Your chance is 1 of 258484561.
