-CCCP-Stalker 0 Posted May 21, 2003 We've got something new to OFP - Security cameras ! They idea is great, the realisation of the idea....See yourselves The only thing that I can say is that it is the the thing which most stealth missions missed. Link Alsomost forgot: Author: Bullz_eye_on_my_back Author's notes: I ended up adding a 6th addon which is modeled to be a damaged camera so there won't be any confusion as to whether the camera has been eliminated or not. I've Included a small demo mission to show the use of the cameras and how they could be placed around a base. (ofcourse these are not restricted to be used only on bases...just place them anywhere!! I've written a rather extensive read me file to.... 1. Describe the addons 2. Describe some uses and future ideas 3. A step-by-step description how to add more cameras to the script and how to place the cameras using the script. (A must for mission makers to read) I'm currently working on some scripts to set up an interface to help anyone place the cameras faster. It will utilize a dialog with sliders and will go from a positioning view to the set up of the camera view. It will give all of the readouts that one would need to write down and replace them with the specific variables in the security cam scripts. As for Multiplayer functionality- I don't know what is required for it and not sure if it will work in multiplayer without some modifications. If anyone could help in that aspect I would be really greatful! I hope everyone likes the addition! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullz_eye_on_my_back 0 Posted May 21, 2003 Umm..is there something wrong with the pathways in the mission files?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted May 21, 2003 No I think Tysiek simply wants the script files embedded in the addon(s). Although he is a little forceful about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullz_eye_on_my_back 0 Posted May 21, 2003 Hmmm.... Well TYsiEK the reason why they are not all built into one .pbo file is because the camera's scripts can be manipulated for what ever purpose you want. Also, for some reason when setting the position of the addons- the height of the camera view in relation to the addon isn't always the same (especially around buildings). There is a part in the read me file that will tell exactly how to add another camera even if you don't know what the commands are... in that you can tell what files are needed to be changed. The only files you will probably only have to manipulate to move a camera where you want it is...in the files... "positions\stationarycams.sqs" then a few variables in the "cameras\sec_cam<#>.sqs" file which should tell you what variables you would need to change for further function you might have to change a variable in the "rotate_scripts\rotate_scripts<#>.sqs" I tried to make it as organized as I could... sorry if its hard to use for mission making Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullz_eye_on_my_back 0 Posted May 27, 2003 Hey hey hey!!! I promised a tool to help place cameras for all of the mission makers! It does that and more!
