1st Person Mode

Phaser · Oct 15, 2006

Does anyone know which file controls the camera on land to switch from 3rd person to 1st person,in POTC i noticed ya can switch,can it be done in AOP? being able to switch would make for excellent in game screenshots without your character showing in the screenshot.

Thanks,

Looks like it is something that needs to be modded into AoP, unless it is already part of that supermod.

Interesting, but how does that work with swordfighting? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0" alt="duel_pa.gif" />

Phaser · Oct 23, 2006

It works the same as potc, when in 1st person view and you start a conversation with a NPC or start a sword fight it auto returns to 3rd person view.

Thanks for telling us, Phaser. Again, if anyone finds something they've figured out how to do. Remember to make not of what files you modified, the modifications you made and please let us ALL know.

Just that one little thing will make it easier for us all to learn the ins and outs of modding this wonderful but bug ridden game.

Changed the line, and absolutely nothing happened; still in 3rd person. Something else has to be done here, or have to start a new game???

LordDrow · Oct 24, 2006

Remember, the game loads the .ini files from a save. So to get changes to .ini files to work you need to start a new game. Also that should just enable hitting the tab key to go into and out of the FPS viewpoint.

just remove the "//" from the string.. and then in game hit the tab key to go into and out of 1st person view.

Oh I'm quite sure I edited the right line FB. Just didn't know about the tab key, as it wasn't mentioned before. Having to start a new game will be a pain, but I think I'm going to have to anyway. My character is now level 10, using a large frigate, and EVERY time I enter sea combat now, all the opposing ships immediately furl their sails and just sit there. They will shoot back if I get close enough, but won't move at all.
And they all surrender as soon as I board. Any one else have this problem?

The same when i use THE PEARL.

Capt.Collins · Oct 25, 2006

Good find Phaser. and thanks for sharing!

I'm from the AoS II community, and I was wondering if anyone has given thought to the possibility of adding those models to the AoP storm engine. I know the time persiod is different, but some of those Akella ships ( the napoleanic 74, 3 deckers especially) are more to my taste <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

It seems like once you get to a certain level (between 8 and 10?), your rep is such that everyone strikes their colors? Will have to start another game and see exactly when enemy ships stop sailing as soon as they see you. Whether this is a game feature or a bug, it's a deal breaker for me. What's the use of playing when the other ships stop fighting back? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" />

*Since yall went off topic here i'll add my .02

Dude i'm a lvl 10 and i get attacked quite offend in fact, not sure what your issue is but i started with the default ship and all default settings the game starts you with and worked my way up to a Frigate,all i can say is if the game dissapoints you go back to potc (in previous posts of yours you stated you prefer) and leave this game to those of us who really enjoy it.I personally haven't seen damn near any of the bugs most of yall run into cept for a few that i know in time myself and my fellow modders will work out.This is just a thought and not to be taken personally.

PEACE.
