omnimuffin Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 For a mod me and my friend are working, I've been wondering something. Would it be possible to, A) Cause the camera use different angles during conversation, e.g. Mass Effect or Dragon Age, and B) to make it so that the world does not pause during such things. The latter is of less importance. I assume, though, that since there's already a built in modular camera, such as the flycam, if you could cause the world to keep working and such during conversations, that you would be able to make the camera move.

Nihilisaurus Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 B is easy, there are mods up that do it already. A is difficult and a horrible design choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omnimuffin Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 I made the post before it occurred to me that for b you can make characters animate during dialog, and since when are there mods that let you do that already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omnimuffin Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Well, I know, at least, for Oblivion, there are mods that play animations during dialog. What I'm looking for, really, is a way to make the camera move about during dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlallen Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 If you follow the basic technique described in the "two npc dialog" tutorial, it is easy to add animations in between lines. So a character says one line, plays an animation, and says another line. Any mod can do this, my mod does it for example. I have seen one FO3 mod "The Institute" that adds animations during lines, such as pointing "up" while saying "up". I have not dug into how that works but it doesn't "seem" that hard. I'm not sure having the camera move around independently of the player is such a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnimuffin Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 The intention is to create a more, say, movie-esque effect, similar to Mass Effect or Dragon Age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omnimuffin Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 I honestly don't see why having a camera that isn't based around the main character's tendency to invade people's personal space whenever he talks to them is such a bad design decision.
