Inquiry - Quarterdeck mod?

Any chance that the 1st person view can be initialised to the quarterdeck of the ship instead of amidship? Not that it's critical, by any means. But the Captain has a better vantage from the Holy Ground as opposed to the gun deck - unless the battle goes poorly. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
I don't know how to change the location where the camera starts, but you can move the camera there manually in the game with the left mouse button. Would be nice to put the camera there by default though... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
using tool you can adjust the camera starting location. it's in the locations section of the hull graphic.
you'd of course have to go and change it for every ship one by one

Hi <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />
I have uploaded on ftp my 74 gun Ship of Line and initialised 1st person view to the quarterdeck. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
How i changed camera location: As there are cannons on quarterdeck i used cannons "z" and "y" locators and changed "x"locator to 0. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
Bye CapHawk <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/type_1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nk" border="0" alt="type_1.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
Ps You have to play little with "y"locator to get captains view on right level.
