[BUG_Beta1]_Camera out of sectors

[REV_BL!TZKR!EG]

2) Keys"," or "." give error "Cameras out of sectors and a VERY weird display, look:

It sppears that the camera does not display MY OWN BOAT.

If there are at least 2 other contacts, this works however.

[REV_BL!TZKR!EG]

This is an occasional occurrence.  I think the bug is in SH3 itself because I have had it happen in every megamod and unmodded.  Usually saving and reloading fixes it.

I doubt that.

Reason: The keys "," and "." DO work with ships that you have as contacts.
You only cannot see your own boat in WAC 5b1

I realized that problem some time ago and probably it hast to so with new water streams. Has to be examine by somebody!

Who wants to?

EDIT: Which U-Boot? I was confronted with this camera problem and type VII.

Answer PLZ!

[REV_BL!TZKR!EG]

You posted this request less than 22 hours ago - that's less than 1 day!
It looks a bit hectic when you already bump it so early. Be patient.
Try to calm down a bit, we all look forward to what will happen soon, buddy!!

Back to your question, I shall answer that, too:  I am playing VIIc

[REV_BL!TZKR!EG]

Ha! This camera-bug brings really funny results, look:


Ok, will try new file and report in.


EDiT: Tried the fix, works
I can now (finally!) see my own boat pressing , or .

EDit#2 - Oh no! That worked only once.
I got Camera out of sectors again...

[HanSolo78]

Then this bug in unsolved and I have no idea...

This is an occasional occurrence.  I think the bug is in SH3 itself because I have had it happen in every megamod and unmodded.  Usually saving and reloading fixes it.

I have never seen this bug before WAC5.
It is very annoying so we should give this emphasis.

I have also tried the fixfiles. It looks as if it works in the beginning (in port),
but later at sea this camera.bug returns.

[REV_TheShark]

Then the fix does not work at all, I think.
I also had the experience with the camera bug only later on sea. In harbours it works Well.

Entirely correct.
The question is: Why does this happen at sea?

Has nobody else tested this fix? Fitzcarraldo? Tomi?

[REV_BL!TZKR!EG]

TORPILLE is correct.

I must confirm: The bug is still there in BETA2 

And it causes CTD!!! When I pressed "," to see my boat in outside view it crashed right away after telling me "Camera out of sectors"

Everyone stop telling me the CTDs come from memory usage - my memory does NOT EVEN REACH 3GB
Look how I play SH3 - WITH PE open on the left!

[REV_BL!TZKR!EG]

I guess you are talking to me here, is that so?

There is no node that you talk about in a sub . dat file!
Or does someone find something else?
Maybe data in the camera.dat file has to be changed in the object cam view.

I have not been talking about a node.
The word "node" is not even mentioned in what I wrote so to what do you refer?

I posted this quote from Subsim:

The only thing I can think of to fix this is to make the camera's clip sector bigger in the interior's .dat file. That's usually what the problem is.
It's not interior.dat its the .dat file of the sub you are using.
There's one called interior camera clip sector. That's the one you need to edit to make the camera sector larger. Remember the Y and Z axis are flipped so Y is up and down and Z is forwards and backwards. You should only need to adjust the maximum that way you can see more.

^^ Can somebody of the MODDERS look into this ^^

[HanSolo78]

I know that you did not talk about nodes but almost every SH3 file (except images) has nodes in the S3D editor.
Well... I keep away from this topic cause I dont realize what you talk of.
