Title: I'm stuck in first person camera mode
Post by: Illysia on October 29, 2007, 02:22:05 am
No matter what I do I'm stuck in first person. I tried resetting the shortcuts and reinstalling nothing worked. :(

by chance are you backed up against a wall?

No I can walk around but I can't change the camera mode anywhere. I also get the weird message exception_priv_instruction at 2517cae4.

Can you try deleting camera.xml (keep a backup copy) in <planeshift>/data/options?

It should be recreated automatically upon starting the client.  That's the only thing I can think of.

This is going to sound like a really dumb question but, did you try just zooming-out with the scroll wheel (assuming you have one) on your mouse? Once or twice I logged in and everything was in super up close first person type mode and this was before zoom even took you to first person view as default. :P The first time it really threw me but, after a bit of experimenting I found if i just scrolled out it'd reset and life was good.

I figure you probably tried this already like 80 times but, just in case thought I'd mention it. :)

I tried deleting the camera.xml and all it did was lock me out of the game completely. I just put back the copy I made of the file and it let me back in. I still can't change camera modes.

I don't have a mouse, but I tried using the shortcut keys to do that but it doesn't work. When I try to switch camera modes I get an error like this

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm still having camera troubles, but a I also crash when I walk sometimes. I get a message saying:

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X  Something unexpected happened in PlaneShift: Crystal Blue
  Detail: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at 09DE600B



I have sometimes gotten this message when switching camera modes.

You don't have a mouse? ... But a technically similar input device, like a touchpad?

Yeah, i have a touchpad, but no middle mouse button equivalent. Whatever was wrong with my camera was causing a lot of  other problems as well. I could log in sometimes, couldn't more than two steps other times, etc... so I decided to completely reinstall. This solved to problem so far.

I wonder if this touchpad has a function like "[Fn]+vertical" = Scrollwheel?!

Anyway. Don't play on a laptop. ;)

Pssh, what do you mean don't play on a laptop?

All the awesome people play PS free of the shackles of a beige desktop ball and chain. ;) (And by awesome people I mean me... and I guess Illysia and a few others too... but, mostly me.  :P)
