bokauk Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) This was the first thing I looked into modding a couple of days ago, but I haven't had much luck yet. Probably a little too ambitious for my first attempt at modding this game, so I'll have another go again in the near future :) Edited October 24, 2012 by bokauk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miked79 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) This also was my reason for attempting to mod Xcom. I just kinda fell into changing other stuff along the way.But, I ve been scowering through unpacked upks and trying different things. But my knowledge is limited in the area. Im thinking many changes would have to be made in many different areas of the camera, because Id assume other camera operations such as scolling, cursor movements, zoom in/out, camera rotation degrees , etc would all be dependencies and must be changed accordingly. As of now Im having trubble associating float property values to hex values. Im trying to use the same method Djax used to mod the overwatch value, but it doesnt appear to work that way for these files. Again my knowledge is limited for this kinda thing, so I hope someone who REEALLY knows what their doing could give us a hand!!

1elvis Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I second that. Feels like another concession to console-versions. When you're rotating the camera with two buttons on a gamepad, that very limited system of four fixed angles probably makes more sense than a camera you can rotate freely 360°. E.

Tuczniak Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 This would be very cool. Especially if you could change to any solid angle and control altitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokauk Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Good news, I've worked out how to do it. Just need finish it off and iron a few bits out, then will hopefully release a mod :) I'd like to change:Free rotationZoom in/out moreStop auto zoom when changing soldierStop tilting the cam at the edges of the screen Any other suggestions for the cam mod? I can't promise all of the above or other suggestions, but I'll see what I can do :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miked79 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hows the progress coming along Bokauk ?I for one am making NOoOo progress :( Quite upsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokauk Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 All being well, it should be good to go when the Mod Manager is released. It's got a minor bug at the start which I haven't been able to fix, but after that it seems fine. It's in a upk with other changes at the moment, so I'll need to find the relevant cam changes and make note of the values etc. I stopped keeping track after 99% of the things I tried, didn't work lol. Once I know the format that the Mod Manager expects, I'll put it all together :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
