Docked Camera Sweep?
« on: July 26, 2009, 09:37:59 AM »
Hi, I?ve been modifying various dry dock hardpoints to make the docking cutscenes work better and came across the code for a 'docked camera sweep'. I know that the cutscenes for entering and leaving the dock are docking camera sweep and undocking camera sweep respectfully. Currently as soon as I dock I get the guy saying hello and then the ship leaves. My question is this: Is there a mod I?m missing that makes the docked camera sweep work, giving a cutscene of the ship fully docked?

Heres the code for the camera in question:

#################################################
DockedCameraSweep1 = App.PositionOrientationProperty_Create("DockedCameraSweep1")

DockedCameraSweep1Forward = App.TGPoint3()
DockedCameraSweep1Forward.SetXYZ(0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000)
DockedCameraSweep1Up = App.TGPoint3()
DockedCameraSweep1Up.SetXYZ(0.374607, 0.000000, 0.927184)
DockedCameraSweep1Right = App.TGPoint3()
DockedCameraSweep1Right.SetXYZ(0.927184, 0.000000, -0.374607)
DockedCameraSweep1.SetOrientation(DockedCameraSweep1Forward, DockedCameraSweep1Up, DockedCameraSweep1Right)
DockedCameraSweep1Position = App.TGPoint3()
DockedCameraSweep1Position.SetXYZ(-1.962600, -1.247200, 1.956500)
DockedCameraSweep1.SetPosition(DockedCameraSweep1Position)
App.g_kModelPropertyManager.RegisterLocalTemplate(DockedCameraSweep1)

Totally Games probably intended to use that, but didn't get around to actually use it.

Or it's possible that the docking cutscene only happens in SP.

The only docking I remember from SP was simply seeing the ship go in...and then come out again.
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

I was referring to the story docks. They tended to be a bit grander.

ah cool, as long as I'm not missing out on something :)
I guess all the screenshots of ships parked in docks must have been piloted in manually.

Cheers for answering :)

if there's code for it you might be able to create a function call for that, but I'm not all that familiar with python, Mleo would know.
