Modify camera

Hi

I would like to modify the ingame third person camera parameters and behavior. Where can i find this in Redkit editor?

thanks

There's these scripting functions:
theCamera.GetZoom() ;
theCamera.SetZoom(value : float) ;

Didn't get them work so far.

Another hint: http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/238-Edit-Camera-Is-it-possible?highlight=camera

You might also fiddle around with (on your own risk):
camera.w2ent -> Entity editor, CCameraComponent, Node properties, fov (Field of view) and aspect
camera_animations.w2anims
camera_graph.w2beh
camera_ratio_test.w2ent
camera_test.w2ent
camera_test_graph.w2beh
custom_camera.w2ent
custom_camera_graph.w2beh

Thank you. It seems to be very useful I will try...

I found a lot of things in script editor. Objects, methods, functions ect. One thing missing. If I modify anything in script how can I "translaste" in game, how can I create a plugable mod of this modifications?
For example: this part handles the zoom in/out during fight regarding the number if enemies:

function UpdateCamera()
{
var Enemies : array <CActor>;
var i : int;

// Dynamic zoom in/out camera in combat
Enemies = parent.FindEnemiesInCombatArea();
if (Enemies.Size() < 1)
{
parent.cameraFurther = 0.0;
} else ....



If I rewrite this function how get I "put back" in game?


thank you

Didn't test it so far.

But before baking it you should test/debug your changed scripts in the scriptStudio (connected to the game running in the editor).

(In some scripting lines breakpoints can't be set.)

Thanks. Now this part is clear: The game doesn't use the content of script editor, it uses his own compiled/baked script in CookedPC folder.
How can I bake my modified script?

edit: well, then, here we go:

change your scripts; then launch content cooker and bake MyMod for example.

In the usercontent\MyMod folder you'll find a scripts.dzip containing all *.ws you changed.

Thanks, I will try ASAP

Could you please tell me what should I write to "Source map file" box in content cooker? I changed one script file and I want to see changes in the game.

The path to your levels world file (*.w2w)

But that would apply to a usercontent mod only!

(Just for sure: if you want to see the changes in the standalone game you need to create a base_scripts.dzip of the folder The Witcher 2\CookedPC\base_scripts)

I selected outro.w2w. Mod was generated and works fine in the game. But size was 650 MB. So I created new world in folder newworld. Now my mod has 150MB. How can I lower size of the mod.

You'll have to wait for the patch, I guess.

I changed only several script files. I know that other similar mods have size only several MBs. There must be some way to lower the size of my mod.

Have a look at Asmodean's test_camera.w2w.

These w2lgs are contained (strings in w2w only, no data in the mod):

levels\04_city\group.w2lg
levels\l01-keep\group.w2lg
levels\l02-port\group.w2lg
levels\l02-port\craftsmen_district\group.w2lg
levels\l02-port\marketplace\group.w2lg
levels\l02-port\pier\group.w2lg
levels\l02-port\village\group.w2lg
levels\l02-port\village\buildings\group.w2lg

and these level folders:

The Witcher 2\data\levels\03_camp\

The Witcher 2\data\levels\04_city\
The Witcher 2\data\levels\04_city\slope_path\

The Witcher 2\data\levels\arena\

The Witcher 2\data\levels\l01-keep\
The Witcher 2\data\levels\l01-keep\tents\

The Witcher 2\data\levels\l02-port\
...

Just a wild guess: he cooked the whole game then deleted all unneeded files from his mod (unpack/delete/repack).

Maybe you ask him?

Hi guys!
Is there a way to change the fov while being in free cam mode (F1)?!
