Barton's GTA2 Camera

[spaceeinstein]

CONVERTED FOR SAN ANDREAS!

 

Created by Barton Waterduck for Vice City. Conveted by me for San Andreas. This mod lets you play the game using a simulated version of GTA3's top-down view camera. If you have a joystick, use it. The on-foot camera is similar to GTA3's top-down view.

 

Installation for intermediate scripters only. Please download Barton's mission builder using Craig's link.

The camera is glitchy if you tap accelerate/reverse when driving, It zoom's in/out in large jumps depending on which button you're tapping. The camera seems to work alot better if you keep your accelerator held down and avoid hard breaking. It's also slightly jumpy when driving at high speeds as the camera tries to catch up to the car.

On foot seems to work fine as long as you set the controller config to joypad, so that you can have ps2 style aiming.

I havent tried flying anything yet but im off to try that now. I also noticed when driving off the edge of liberty that the camera zoomed pretty damn far away from the car, creating a pretty cool effect. I assume it'll do the same when driving off chilliad and such, so i'll go give that a go aswell. It's pretty sweet to have a gta 2/3 style camera to play around with.

Nice work on the conversion, but yeah, a little work is needed.

Looks good, but i don't think i'll use it as i hated that camera view.

[spaceeinstein]

Late reply: Thanks for the comments

 

I updated the code. I changed the global vars to local vars, partly restored the camera if CJ is swimming, and with some other minor fixes.

Why such a bump? And first, do you have permission to make it a cleo and release it?!?
