Need help, Adjusting camera for screenshots.

[SEPtIc cHiLD]

How do you change the angle and rotation of the camera to take screenshots of the side and front of a skin in game??

 

Anyone??

[Belial6672]

ta Belial m8, yeah that works...now is there a command to set the camera distance??

Yes you can. It is a bit weird at first, but executse this script when you are ready to take screens of your skins. You must enable cheat mode for this to work....

 

COPY AND PASTE THE FOLLOWING INTO A TEXT FILE AND SAVE IT AS modelview.cfg. THEN PLACE IT INTO YOUR GAMEDATA/BASE DIRECTORY.

// Skin and Model View Script

//Intructions:

// This script was originally for use with Quake3.

// Since most of the same commands between Q3

// and JK2 are the same, this script will work the same

// as it was intended in the original Q3 engine. To install

// it simply copy the file to your GameData\Base directory

// and when in game, enable cheats using the

// devmap <mapname> command. Once you are in developer

// mode, simply type "exec modelview.cfg" in the console.

// This binds your keypad to camera angle adjustments that will

// allow you to circle around your character, as well as pan

// in an out. This script uses the arrow keys of your numpad

// and the 5 (middle key) to switch between thrid and first person.

// No support is provided, use at your own risk.

I will soon have a section up on my site for this, and other scripts, as well as skins and the likes at tribalskins.org
