CONVERTED FOR SAN ANDREAS!

Created by Barton Waterduck for Vice City. Converted to San Andreas by spaceeinstein. This mod is a script mod that creates first person view while in car. First person as in being able to see the dashboard. Keep pressing CAMERA while in any vehicle until you get the first person view. Needs some tweaking for San An since this is a straight conversion from Vice City.

Installation for intermediate scripters only. Please download Barton's mission builder using Craig's link.

[Frolicated]

N00B question, how do I implement into the game. What tools do I need?

[gta_matt]

Well Mission Builder told me it couldn't define object coach,squalo,tropic and so on.So I threw this together.

DEFINE OBJECT COACH ; Object number -389
DEFINE OBJECT SQUALO ; Object number -390
DEFINE OBJECT TROPIC ; Object number -391
DEFINE OBJECT JETMAX ; Object number -392
DEFINE OBJECT FAGGIO ; Object number -393

then added at the top

DEFINE OBJECTS 394

It compiled ok but crashes when I start a new game.What should I do?

[Roald]

Any screenshots?
I don't get the concept...by pressing "V" you can get first person view in your car already.

[Mealing]

But with that mod you can see the steering wheel, dashboard, etc..

Those shouldn't be defined as objects. They're referrences to the vehicle.ide ID numbers. If you copy the default.ide, peds.ide, and vehicles.ide (along with the american.gxt) to your MB folder, you can use the #PCJ600 type names. Or you can redownload MB from my site.

[NDG474]

Why does this mod use camera modes 3 & 4?? Shouldn't it just use the first person mode? That's why when switching to the next mode, the camera can't be moved with the mouse... Kinda silly...

Also I noticed it uses the car's speed to keep the camera where it is, that's why it's jumpy.. Isn't there a way that you can lock the camera to an object without using a loop to keep it there?

In my opinion if you can't move the mouse to look around while in first person view, then it makes it pointless anyway. Without an IMAX view there's no peripheral vision and so you can't see crap.
Would still be better than the default one though I guess.

Hey, I just converted it from Vice City. For now I am just converting mods straight from Vice City. Later I (or others) will modify it.

[Fro]

Or..maybe you can give a download link?

You have to add the mission code to the mission.scm file.

Anyway if your so worried about it not being perfect then wait for stretchnutter to release his CamHack.

[spaceeinstein]

Damn I'm so dumb. I just realized that the camera freezing from afar is part of the mod.

I updated the code up there. It repositions the camera so it looks better in San An and in new vehicles of San An but I haven't got around doing it for the Rhino yet.

Oh, do you know if he is working on the Camhack for San Andreas right now?

Great mod btw, but would someone perhaps upload their SCM with this already installed? I'd gladly appreciate it.

I don't know if he is working on it now, but it's only going to be for CJ, not the vehicles.
So bye bye awsome movies with camhack... That's what he told me.

Edit: Is stretchnutter s_racer?

[Fro]

See the thing is, I don't know how to install this into the .scm.

All the knowledge of the .scm I had was only limited to car spawn locations.

Yes Racer_S is his other alias, anyway he dropped a hint in his Advanced Controls program as to his starting work on the SA Camhack. I don't see why he would only do it for CJ because there's really not many more camera angles you can get besides a first person view.

@Fro - Either do I lol seriously thought there are tutorials on this in the Tutorials forum.

[Heckler90210]

Im kind of exited to try this out, I'm fairly skilled in scm but I have no idea whatsoever what to do with this, could spaceeinstein (or anyone for that matter) give it to us already compiled or at least give us some half ass instructions.

Oops, I meant he's only going to do it for the vehicles.
And I do hope he makes it just like the old one, so we can have free-cams and that stuff.

[Heckler90210]

Well now that I've tried this mod, its kind of a massive dissapointment, sure, it works in trains, the rain doesn't get inside ur car, you can see traffic lights through the windshield, and its pretty fun, but I just can't get by how if you go over 20 mph you're vision will be obstructed by the back of CJ's head, just driving on normal terrain shakes the sh*t out of you too, in al fairness, this mod would be alot better if the bumper cam was modified, opposed to making a whole new camera angle.

[spaceeinstein]

It's not meant for this type of camera to actually move. This camera suppose to do simple camera movements while in scenes and such. So blame the code, not the mod.
