For anyone not lucky enough to play this yet, the hud mfd could be toggled to show a rear view. Any possibility in a future build? (For low spec pc's would it be possible to make it use lower lods?)
-
Like a reverse camera in new cars?
-
Yes :) but toggleable.
(Can't believe that pimp my ride ripped off the confederation :lol: )
-
Nuke already implemented something similar and more.
Using scripts and rtt he made a turret display and even an input method to control said turret.
He could easily make your rear-camera...
....now if only people helped him test the darn things!
-
I'd be happy to.
Just point towards a "how to" :)
-
i havent checked the state of rtt at all lately. it might not work anymore. then again it might work uber cool :D
-
Tested, looks great. :)
The default key to turn it on and off is "Alt-v"

EDIT: Requires C09032008 build to work. I will be changing that "camera.Self" thing to "camera.Host" to match it with the SEXP jargon, but that should be a quick search-and-replace when it happens. Also, I'll add a current camera variable so this won't screw up cutscenes using the camera code.
-
:D Great :yrd:
I'll wait until you do those things that i don't understand before i DL and try it just so i don't have to DL two .exe's. Thanks WMCoolman.

:confused:
The only time I've noticed the word host used in the code is to denote the first player to join a multiplayer server (Which is the player hosting the server except for standalones).
-
That's still not what I used for the SEXP. I'm open to suggestions.
-
I'm not saying host is a bad choice, just that I've never seen it used in that context. Is there another SEXP that uses host?
-
Not besides set-camera-host, according to my SEXPs.html from 9/4.
-
Ah. I get you now. :)
