SA Released [CLEO] Changeable Train Camera

[Marsi4eg]

 

WHAT IS THIS:

 

Another useful mod for those who always wanted to drive a train in SA and be able to disable forced cinematic camera mode! This CLEO script gives even more to you - ability to change camera position between all train carriages, not only locomotive or the carriage where the player actually is!

 

MAIN FEATURES:

• No need to learn any new hotkeys or other things - just press the usual change camera key when riding any train.
• Trains could be any type, amount of train carriages detects automatically.
• Default cinematic camera mode isn't removed, you always can change back to it.

 

HOW TO INSTALL:

• Copy the "traincam-new.cs" file from this zip archive to your "CLEO" folder in the game's directory.
• OPTIONAL: If you want to see a notification every time the camera reaches player's carriage - extract the language file "tcam.fxt" from the needed locale included in the "locale" folder to your "CLEO\CLEO_TEXT" folder in the game's directory. Otherwise, you can skip this step.

    Supported languages:

• English
• Russian for SanLtd localization
• Russian "Wasted"  //  Pirated translation that became a meme in CIS countries

   ATTENTION! You should extract only ONE language file to the game! Don't extract all three files, otherwise texts will appear incorrectly!

 

DEPENDENCIES:

• To use this mod you have to install CLEO 4.3.
• Feature is disabled in 2-player mode because it interferes with native coop camera mode.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS:

 

This idea (and first implementation) came in 2007. However, the script was very stupid, it was nothing but a useless kilometers of text full of global variables. Really awful. I hadn't any plans to share it but anyway it was shared on some GTA web sites and that made me ashamed. So now in 2018 I rewrote it - now it's a few dozens of strings without any garbage. I've rewritten it mostly because "Tram Driver" script was released recently.

Now it's Changeable Train Camera v3.0!

 

CHANGELOG:

 

FIXED:

• Lots of code clean-ups and optimizations. Script operates faster.

 

ADDED:

• Added ability to change camera along the whole train till the engine even if the player has entered random carriage.
• Added help text boxes when entering train and (optional) when the camera reaches player's carriage.
