View mode destroyed
« on: February 01, 2005, 05:27:08 pm »
I usually like hunting in 3rd person locked mode? With the camera directly behind you always.

Well, something happened and now the camera faces behind me or up above my character. I don\'t know what happened....does anyone know how to fix it? I don\'t like hunting in 1st person mode( next best thing, other modes are horrible).

i\'m not quite sure what you mean, but this is as much as i know about altering the camera angle.. page up and page down to alter the hieght it looks at you from, to zoom you press and hold shift + mouse button, then drag the mouse (should sort out the camera looking at you if it ever happens)

otherwise press M to scroll through the view modes until you find one to your liking (this command was listed in the in-game help).

anyone else have more information?

How do you think I got to that view mode, by using M :P. The only other one I \"like\" is the 1st person mode. I\'m going to try the shift+mouse button now.

You can also try pgup/pgdn to move camera up and down.

Sounds like you have zoomed too far in.  I played with it for awhile and when you zoom in, at a certain point, the camera reverses and you get a closeup of yourself from the front.  Zooming out should eventually fix the problem I think.

Zooming was the problem. But it keeps resetting itself to the \"reverse view\" whenever I log off.


On a side note, I finally got a sword! yay.

Yeah, for awhile there everytime I logged in, my camera was far away.  Annoying.  Try going to options and press \'save\' (once its right).
