Thirdperson: old version

darkbal · Post by **darkbal** » Wed Dec 22, 2004 9:25 am

try to make the rectile/aimer thingy more accurate because when i shoot in 3rd person my shots land a little under the aimer thing. When You shoot the bullets, they should land in the middle area of the rectile and when i move the aimer so the shots hit the middle of the aimer the aimer is on my head. u should try and maybe make master cheif turn see through or something when the aimer get on your head.

you adjust everything with the camera angle so you can see master chief's entire body.

Here's my "professional" layout of the default keys.

You have no idea how hard it is to get the aim correctly

It's tougher than you think, you have to calculate all these vectors for the aim to be perfect.

Also, I'm thinking about replacing the crosshair with the original crosshair, two circles lined up to predict the path of your bullets.

i would like to see a button that puts it back to the original veiw. (in either 3rd or 1st person) cause its kinda annoying if you move it to the side and then trying to get it back to center/original position but you can't.(easily anyway) and maybe a button that allow you to move the camera a full 360 degrees around mc. that would ebe cool if possible.
I hope you know what im talking about with original veiw.

I would like to see that u could actually rotate around ur third person camera
like if i press a button,i would hold it and it would make the camera rotate until the front of ur MC comes(you).Not anymore complaints.THNKX!!ur mod is awesome!

hmm, I don't know about restore, because people might have different original views that they might want to save. I don't want to make this hack look any more complicated than it already is. Some people still have no idea that they can set their own keys, even though it says it at the top.

So I think I'll just make it "snap" when you get close to the center, so you can center it better.

You're not the first person to ask for the swivel cam. This is tough, maybe if I did something with the warthog cam, since you can swivel around MC in the hog.

Don't expect an update too soon, I'm working on the macintosh version of this for their christmas present.

thats cool and the snap idea would be awesome even tho i think a button to but it back to center would be better but meh. and the swivel cam would pwn if you could get that to work.

I finally made an update that fixes the vehicle auto-switch that turns off the thirdperson settings in a vehicle. It's so seamless, I cried when I made it work.

I'm happy.
Also I fixed something that turns on the mod only when the game is completely loaded, which is probably why people with slow comps are getting exception errors. So I fixed all that, I'm trying to add some more stuff for tomorrow's Christmas update...

So, um, you didn't answer my question does it work for Halo Trial?

covenant · Post by **covenant** » Fri Dec 24, 2004 2:10 pm

no it doesnt,maybe he will make it but a lot of people just play from store,not the trial,(u shouldnt make trial,might make em eager to buy game

im wondering how to work the 3rd person perfectly
i mean i cant figure out wat to do with it either to get it as well as in the pic

bitterbanana · Post by **bitterbanana** » Fri Dec 24, 2004 2:31 pm

Ok, I'll add trial support for tomorrow's update. I hate microsoft for ruining this game anyway. Who am I to endorse the purchase of a monopoly's ruining.

Just play with the adjustments to get your thirdperson to look as perfect as you want. Shift it up, down, left, right, in or out. How hard can it be?
