[IDEA] - different camera conditions

Post » Thu Sep 20, 2012 11:47 am

hi guys.

im suggesting something with a hope that someone will think it's a good idea like i do....

kinda obvious.

in skyrim the camera has 2 positions - weapon sheathed mode (mode A) and weapons\magic drawn mode (mode B ) in mode A the camera is over the shoulder and low. in mode B the camera is over the head and high.
many users, like myself, tweaked the camera so it's in a different position. i placed mode B's camera over the shoulder as well like in 3rd person shooters so it's more comfortable in melee combat indoors and gives a more personal feel to combat, however it's less comfortable in archery mode since in many cases the bow is hiding the crosshair, but if i move the camera farther to the right side so the bow doesnt hide the crosshair than it gets so far to the side that aiming is difficult and peaking around an obstacle to the left is too hard.

since i dont think it's possible to include a third camera position im suggesting the following idea:

making the camera chose between modes A and B in different conditions - for example - mode A will take place when weapons are sheathed and also when melee weapon is drawn.
mode B (over head) kicks in when the player is using a bow or magic (without a melee weapon in either hand).
obviously the mod can do the opposite so mode A is when the Player uses a bow or sheathes his weapons and mode B when drawing a melee weapon.
users can modify the camera's position in the INI files, of course, to dictate where the camera is at mode A or B.

anyone else thinks it's a good idea or maybe even thinks he can pull such a thing off?
