Fair Strides 2 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Simply put, is it possible to have a camera zoom in on all workbenches? If you were to use anicam, and if one could access the OnClick event on the workbench(Can we?),... maybe. Anybody else have any input? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Run Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Getting the camera to zoom in on a workbench shouldn't be a problem. Simply place a camera over the workbench (not the easiest thing) and use the camera Id and angle tab in the dlg editor. However, placing a camera means making a new entry in area's git- not the best method if your looking for compatibility as other mods would edit this file. For k2 this would be tslrcm, another mod for k1. An idea is that I edit the .git files of these mods with the permission of the authors. For anybody else I can give instructions on how I edited the .git file. As you are no doubt wondering what mod I am working on, all I can say is that involves a real time workbench (provided everything works out).

If you're willing to wait, I can probably make a program that will unpack a .mod, open the .git file, and allow you to edit it. I could make it make a list of the changes(similar to the changes.ini of TslPatcher) and then re-pack it. I will need time though, since I have no laptop/computer that I can do whatever I want on and am forced to visit my brother and use his. It is possible though, if you're willing to wait...

Fallen Guardian Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 You can already have the TSL Patcher edit/attach individual lines to the git, very similarly to the way it edits/attaches to .2da files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this I know. But will it automatically extract the .git file from a .mod, then edit it, and then re-pack it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen Guardian Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yeah. I have a TSL Patcher currently setup to edit the BattleMusic slot of a .GIT file. It changes the original battle music ID to one corresponding with a newly added 2da line. I ran two instances of this TSL Patcher just now and here are the results: After the first run the battle music was listed as 100 within the .GIT (and Windows showed that the .MOD had been edited recently). After the next run, the battle music listed as 112 and Windows again showed the .MOD had been recently edited. This means it was extracting the .GIT, editing it to correspond with the .2da, then repacking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for Hunter's Run's worry of compatibility, I think he(or she!) doesn't have anything to worry about, now does he/she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen Guardian Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 The only problem I can see is when exactly would he/she want the camera to zoom in. If it's whenever the player clicks on it to use it one could just edit the workbench's default dialogue to have a camera showing the workbench in the opening node.

Hunters Run Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 He actually. I created a new dialogue file for the mod. Thanks for telling me about the TSL Patcher. I'll use that. Is there a tutorial on how to edit the git file with the TSL Patcher or is it in the documentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a tutorial on how to edit the git file with the TSL Patcher or is it in the documentation. You can try here for the basics. It talks about .uti and .utc files, but a .git file is still the same format. I would suggest that you have the .git file from each module with a workbench in a folder, and then have your edited versions in a different folder, and for each file just compare the versions between the folders.

Hunters Run Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 The hard part is now getting the camera to stop going through a wall. If someone experienced in cameras could walk me through this it would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen Guardian Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Are you using an animated camera or a static camera? Quite frankly animated cameras are much easier to work with and can be either animated or static. Plus, they only require two files in the override (an MDL and an MDX), so it make it more compatible. The only problem with animated cameras is wether you intend to use a script to switch camera shots in the middle of the dialogue node, because you cannot call animated cameras with that function.

Hunters Run Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Static. Unless you can lock an animated camera in place. I am kind of new at this type of modding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
