archer9 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) I love the Ultimate camera mod by Revolucion09. It changes the camera to look like this:http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/images/29942-1-1266641142.jpg The thing is it removes the vanilla 1st person view entirely and replaces it with what you see in the above pic. That is the opposite of what I want. I want it to leave the vanilla 1st person view intact and replace the vanilla 3rd person view with what you see in the pic. Kudos to all who can help! Thanks! :) Edited May 27, 2011 by archer9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghoulz Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I still don't understand why they kept the normal 3rd person. Is it because of using the view key to look at your character is messed up in the new 3rd person view? If that doesn't affect the view camera then I have no idea why they didn't just replace the old one. Why keep it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer9 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Exactly. I want to use the old first person view for archery and the new 3rd person for melee. Maybe that's impossible to do? I hope someone can shed some light here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fore Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 It might be desirable, but it's not possible. 3rd person skeleton and animations are for player and NPCs alike. So you can't change it without messing up NPCs. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer9 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) I see... Is it possible then to add a third view that could be activated by a key or something like that? Also, if I understand correctly the mod replaces skeleton.nif file. Could it be possible to force (script?) the game to switch between two skeleton files (renaming the files?) so that I could switch the views in game?

fore Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I wasn't precise on my first response. There can be different skeletons/animations for player and NPCs. It's the principles which are the same for both. And the principles say that there is no (3rd person) camara which can be controlled by modding in any way. 3rd person camara is the one which is contolled by user interface. It's only in 1st person that the camera can be modded. Either by 1st person animations, or by (1st person) skeleton, or by a combination of these. There is no way to switch between different skeleton. The only way I see is to find a way to seperate the camara from the skeleton in 1st person, but I havn't heard of any camara mod that has done that.

archer9 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Certainly some tweaks ought to be possible. There is a mod which makes the player character turn his head towards the direction that the mouse is turned in 3rd person. Well, this is a request forum, so my request is for someone to edit the 3rd person camera if it is indeed not entirely impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fore Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Turn the PC's head in 3rd person? What is that good for? :confused: Sure, this is a request forum. But chances are close to nothing if there is no mod yet which has done anything similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer9 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Well, it's certainly nothing big, but it shows that at least some tweaking is possible. And I am hoping that someone will come up with an innovation at some point. For now I'll be playing with the vanilla camera. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
