Remember camera zoom - TECHNISCHER SERVICE / WEB APPs BUGS

#1 Eingetragen von Nonea vor 1 Jahrzehnt Melden | Zitieren [en]

This is a very small annoyance, but I like playing with the camera in third person. Sure IRL I don't hover a couple yards behind my head, but in MMORPGs, first person seems limited.
I would like to have the client remember when I log out where my camera is relative to my character so I don't have to zoom out every time I log in to make it look "right".

hmm, mine's always in 3rd person perspective. Might be something in your settings?

My camera maintains settings between sessions.-Kil

Indeed, camera settings are saved upon successful logout.

Then can't you just press V to return to third person view? (Which should automatically have the camera go the distance where it last was?)

No, zoom distance is zero. Should be fixed in next version as self compiled works correctly.

If others are bothered by this in the meantime, I've just stumbled across a client.cfg line:
FPV = 0;
FPV = first person view, so 0 for 3rd. Of course this can also be used for those who want to default to 1st. :)

Camera zoom can also be set, defaults are as follows, you'll have to work out the units yourself :p :
CameraHeight = 2.2;
CameraDistance = 3.0;
Interestingly, these defaults are taken from my client.default.cfg on a Linux install (can't check UI settings on the desktop whilst playing Tropcio ;) ), so I'm not sure why they'd have got lost on your install, Karu.

It'd be amazing if it hadn't crashed and corrupted my autosave just as I was about to win that one bloody campaign island. :P

My config file already has "FPV = 0" and "CameraDistance= 7.00000000" but I still start in first person.

Good.
