Ever wanted to capture as cool screenshots as R* does? Seen a hillarious situation, but it lasted only for a second so you couldn't even move closer to save it? Or perhaps you just hate CamHack?
This CLEO script gives you an opportunity to make some real Amazing screnshots. Just freeze the game, adjust the camera just like you want and capture it! This script basically gives you unlimited time to mess with the camera, so if you wish, you can go really fancy.
As San Andreas has a working Camera, this script also allows you either to capture screenshots by yourself (eg. by using Fraps) or to let San Andreas do it by itself (making a bad quality screenshot, unluckily).
Have fun making some Amazing screenshots and beware - it's highly addictive!

This mod is also used as a part of Grand Theft Auto: The '95 Story and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories PC Edition Total Conversions.


This mod is compatible with the CLEO 3/4 Libraries found here:
http://cleo.sannybuilder.com/

Put CLEO folder (with all its content) in your game directory.

If you want San Andreas to capture screenshots in the best possible quality, you can check out HiDef Camera mod by Deji:

Excellent work man.

[juarez]

Amazing Now I can make my own screenshot's for my mod.

[vans123]

this kind of work is what makes me think SA modding is just damn alive as if it was 2006/2007

Awesome tool, thanks silent

[Performer]

OMG DAMN

Think of all the amazing Videos I could do

But sadly there is one point, thats missing: It doesn't work for replays.

III era replays suck big time. Not gonna touch them ever

Edit:
No one posting any Amazing screenshots?

[Garju67]

It doesn't work with SADisplayResolutions.asi and proportionalCoronas.cs
After Alt+V pressed, game crash. Work without these two files but max resolution is 1400x something like that.

Which one of these two crashes?

[xXaerooff2Xx]

Ive been using this tool for long time. Its very useful. Im glad you have finnaly released it, Silent.

[ThirteenAG]

Not proportionalCoronas.cs for sure. Never heard of SADisplayResolutions.asi.
Why source code isn't included?

It uses parts of CD (yes, the very secret project from Deji and me), so I'm not sure if Deji would want me to publish it.

But if he agrees, why not. Would just need to clean it up.

[ludi911]

very nice

Neither .. is the same/alternative to exdisp.asi from Ryosuke?

You can replace it with expdisp.asi by Ryosuke (if you need more resoulutions) Screen Ratio Fix 1.0 by fastman92 (if you need only to adapt the game for ws).
@SilentPL,
Huh, my assumption was right
Any chance of releasing VCS PC optimizations as standalone?

Unlikely. That code was entirely made by maxorator, I've only adapted it for San Andreas engine. Releasing it would just be stealing.

Edit:
And yes, also, any in house feature may be good for mod's popularity

One thing I like about CamHack, is making the player invisible, and adjusting the FOV with [ and ].

Possible to implement?

Just use both in case you are in a hurry

What I hate about CamHack is it doesn't work properly when inside interiors (Using free mode sometimes forces the camera to stay put underneath the interior)
