Wider Field of View and zoom in close to items

[moloko]

I had a quick look into this and I might be able to figure out how to do it for 4:3. No promise, though, as it's a damn lot of text and I don't exactly know what he changed. We'll see.

[moloko]

Okay, I quickly checked some variables and got it working on 800x600 resolution. Don't know about the others, as I have a 16:10 screen. Give it a shot and tell me if it works, make a screenshot if it doesn't and I see if I can do something about it.

This file contains both the datafile.big and the two .txt files that belong into datafile.big and need to be (un)packed with Gibbed Tools.

Still busy with my project paper but if it doesn't work I'll try again. Cheers.

[tommah]

yea it did work in 800x600... I play in 12**x1024 or whatever though. if its fairly easy to modify you could tell me and I'll just do it myself.

thanks for your release though, it looks pretty cool

[moloko]

So it doesn't work in your resolution? I thought it would stretch to 4:3 nonetheless. Anyhoo, this is what I found out by trying:

Basically you only need to play with the viewport.txt, since camera.txt only contains changed FOVs from what I saw.

cViewportShape MainView_16x9
{
X = "0"
Y = "0.130"
Width = "1"
Height = "0.76"
Aspect="2.35"
}

///// Here is what I changed

cViewportShape MainView_4x3
{
X = "0"
Y = "0.150"
Width = "1"
Height = "0.45"
Aspect="2.35"
}

////

cViewportShape MainView_4x3_16x9_Letterbox
{
X = "0"
Y = "0.125"
Width = "1"
Height = "0.75"
Aspect="1.777777778"
}

cViewportShape MainView_5x4
{
X = "0"
Y = "0"
Width = "1"
Height = "1"
Aspect="1.25"
}

cViewportShape MainView_5x4_16x9_Letterbox
{
X = "0"
Y = "0.1484375"
Width = "1"
Height = "0.703125"
Aspect="1.777777778"
}

cViewportShape MainView_16x10
{
X = "0"
Y = "0.160"
Width = "1"
Height = "0.7"
Aspect="2.35"
}

cViewportShape MainView_16x10_16x9_Letterbox
{
X = "0"
Y = "0.05"
Width = "1"
Height = "0.9"
Aspect="1.777777778"
}

Everything is there, the aspect is obviously the aspect ratio, where 1.33 would equal 4:3. "X" and "Y" place the visible area of the screen to left/right and up/down. X doesn't need to be changed as it's centered already.

I played with Y and noticed that the change in position is fairly huge. I tried 0.8 and it put the visible area to the bottom, whereas negative values don't work. I tried -0.2 and I got an all black screen, the visible area being put somewhere above my monitor.
I dunno which value I took in the uploaded file, but it worked for centering the screen at 800x600.
"Width" can be left as it is, too. "Height" obviously streches/squeezes the screen.

I don't know why it didn't work with your resolution as the streches are general. Maybe you need to change the values in "cViewportShape MainView_4x3_16x9_Letterbox", too.

Let me know if you get it working, cheers.

Anyone have this floating around still?

Please, if you need help, please be more specific in what you want. What exactly are you looking for?

My apologies. I was referring to a pre-edited datafile.big with the wider fov (80 preferred) and other such fov tweaks such as the one in in OP (which, as your edit states, now has a broken link).

[anno1404]

I will see what I have tonight, and post it.

[moloko]

This might be what you are looking for, too.

[anno1404]

I don't have it downloaded.

I asked the creator via email if he would reupload it.

Here are instructions to do it yourself:

deadrising2mods.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=dr2general&action=display&thread=40

[moloko]

Re-Upload of the original mod (altered FOV, black bars on top and bottom); contains both a modified datafile.big and the files (camera.txt and viewport.txt):

Rapidshare
Megaupload

And just the altered .txt files, which belong into the datafile.big for doing it yourself.

I bet it is possible to make great screenshots of chuck attacking, just like they do in the promo screenshots, by changing the camera angle. any suggestions on what to change to do this.

For example, when Chuck is attacking with a broadsword, have the camera to his side and at his waist, slightly angled up.

Here is the first section of camera.txt:

I suppose the sword uses another entry, one of those: cWeaponAttackCam WeaponAngle2
{
CameraDistanceFromPlayer = "3.8"
CameraHeight = "0.5"
CameraRotationAroundPlayer = "5.7"
TargetDistanceFromPlayer = "1.3"
TargetHeight = "1.1"
TargetRotationAroundPlayer = "-0.3"

Pretty self explanatory entries, I guess.

Interesting which weapon is which weapon angle.

cWeaponAttackCam WeaponAngle1
cWeaponAttackCam WeaponAngle2
cWeaponAttackCam WeaponAngle3
cWeaponAttackCam WeaponAngle4
cWeaponAttackCam WeaponAngle5
cWeaponAttackCam WeaponAngle6

Maybe WeaponType = "4" entry?
