Requesting: Third-Person View Fix

When I try to play DX third-person, the camera is always on his ass. Can someone make me a mod to make it more Hitman 2 like? Maybe it doesn't even need to make a mod, maybe it's just a bit of coding for my DeusEx.ini or User.ini.

Do you not like his ass or something?

I doubt you can adjust the camera location through a configuration file but I might be wrong :P

I believe the camera rotates around the centre point of the player.
It would be interesting if someone made a proper 3rd person view, where the crosshair is pointing where you will shoot. Maybe an over-the-shoulder setup like in Resi4?

I suggested that before too. Whatever somebody can do.

I think it should be made like Max Payne or Resi-4 style.

There's an interesting page on player camera on DeusExGaming btw, http://www.deusexgaming.com/index.php?p ... erspective

Maybe if you increase the Z velocity a little as well as - the player's view, the crosshair would be above the player a little. Maybe someone could experiment to get a shoulder view?

Actually, maybe you could call something in some function. Something like:

(Not coded accurately)
Code: Select all
DeusExPlayer().CameraLocation.Z += 80;
DeusExPlayer().CameraLocation.[Something for player view rotation] -= 200;


?

Unrelated, I loved that Level in Hitman 2.
