I would expect code to be somewhere in AICameras located in Age of Pirates 2\Program\SEA_AI, before editing anything back that file and any other's you edit up because i could be wrong. But the reason i did say that file is because of this part of the code.

void CreateSeaCamerasEnvironment()
{
bCanSwitchCameras = true;

CreateEntity(&SeaCameras, "SEA_CAMERAS");
CreateEntity(&SeaFreeCamera, "FREE_CAMERA");
CreateEntity(&SeaShipCamera, "SHIP_CAMERA");
CreateEntity(&SeaDeckCamera, "DECK_CAMERA");

LayerAddObject("system_messages", &SeaCameras, 1);
LayerAddObject(SEA_EXECUTE, &SeaShipCamera, iShipPriorityExecute + 5);
LayerAddObject(SEA_EXECUTE, &SeaFreeCamera, 1);
LayerAddObject(SEA_EXECUTE, &SeaDeckCamera, iShipPriorityExecute + 5);

SeaFreeCamera.Perspective = 1.285;

// Ship camera paramerets
SeaShipCamera.Perspective = 1.285;
SeaShipCamera.SensivityDistance = 30.0;
SeaShipCamera.SensivityHeightAngle = 0.02;
SeaShipCamera.SensivityHeightAngleOnShip = 0.005;
SeaShipCamera.SensivityAzimuthAngle = 0.04;
SeaShipCamera.MaxAngleX = 0.07;
SeaShipCamera.MinAngleX = -1.4;
SeaShipCamera.Distance = 69.0;
SeaShipCamera.MinDistance = 25.0;
SeaShipCamera.MaxDistance = 90.0;
SeaShipCamera.MinHeightOnSea = 1.0;
SeaShipCamera.MaxHeightOnShip = 16.0;
SeaShipCamera.InvertMouseX = 1.0;
SeaShipCamera.InvertMouseY = -1.0;

// Deck camera paramerets
SeaDeckCamera.Perspective = 1.285;
SeaDeckCamera.SensivityDistance = 0.01;
SeaDeckCamera.SensivityHeightAngle = 0.0015;
SeaDeckCamera.SensivityAzimuthAngle = 0.0015;
SeaDeckCamera.StepUp = 0.5;
SeaDeckCamera.StepMin = 0.01;
SeaDeckCamera.h_max = 2.0;
SeaDeckCamera.h_min = 0.5;
SeaDeckCamera.h_step = 0.1;
SeaDeckCamera.h_def = 1.6;
SeaDeckCamera.MaxAngleX = 0.7;
SeaDeckCamera.MinAngleX = -1.3;
SeaDeckCamera.RockingX = 0.5;
SeaDeckCamera.RockingZ = 0.5;

i now know why the camera is like that, beause i manually edited the resolution to widescreen

but i did the same thing in potc and the camera was fine there


thanks ill play with this file, maybe i can think of something

SeaShipCamera.MaxAngleX = 0.07;
SeaShipCamera.MinAngleX = -1.4;

Modify these and you're all set. It'll be guesswork at first, so backup the original settings.

thanks!

I tried editing the settings posted, and it didn't work. I changed the values to rediculously high and low numbers to make sure, but nothing changed. I also fiddled with a few other settings, but nothing changed. The only reason I can think of was that maybe it didn't work because I only saved the file without closing it, but that can't be, right? Anyone know for sure the exact values to enter? I'm running it in 1680x1050.

Did you start a new game after changing those value's?, not sure if this would require a new game but its alway's best to check

 

[Sharks Prize]

I didn't. I don't know as much about the game as you guys do, since I just got it a few days ago, but I can't imagine why that would make a difference. The camera file is the camera file, no matter when you started the game. It's loaded at the initializing of the game engine, correct?

 

[Sharks Prize]

Ok, so I finally got around to starting a new game with changed camera angle/height values. No noticable change. I tried several different combinations, all with no discernible results.

 

[Luke159]

I wasn't sure if it did require a new game or not. I expected it wouldn't but it was best to check and thank you for checking.
