3rd Person Tanks for SP

[mft004]

So I'll update you on what I've done so far. 

I found out, from a developer's old post on the forums, that to get 3rd person views tankwise on singleplayer could be done by editing gameplayplugin.py, adding the word 'testing' to one of the lines of text, after the word spawnwave.  However, since that post, the developers made the file a .pyc file which was humanly unreadable. 

So I managed to find an online decompile tool to make the file readable again, pasted that text into a notepad file, added the word 'testing' in the right place and called the file gameplayplugin.py. 

Now that's all well and good, but I'm guessing that if I replaced that .pyc file with the .py file in the relevant FH2 folder, the game just wouldn't work.  I guess it's got to be converted back into a .pyc file.  That's where you guys come in.  Please tell me how I could do that.

Better yet, maybe one of the developers could quickly edit and send me another .pyc file that allows for SP 3rd person tank views already. 

Many thanks.

Oh, the current config.py file I have in that python folder actually has only two lines of text, very little.  Is that okay?  Do I just add the line you mentioned at the bottom?

[fh_spitfire]

Sorry, i got the syntax wrong, that was actually how it will look in new version. In 2.45 you should add this:

Code: [Select]

from game.gameplayPlugin import standard
standard.append('testing')to mods/fh2/python/game/config.py

and it should work like a charm:)

[mft004]

It worked!  I am at peace

My thanks again sir

Hi, I'm reading this after the post has been edited, and I'm also using the version 2.48.
I don't see config.py file anywhere in the fh2 folder. Can you please help me.

If it's not visisble on this path:

mods/fh2/python/game/config.py

Then try to check if you maybe have some folder options disabled (in Windows, I mean).

Aleks, this is the solution: http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=19777.0 , see reply #1 from me.

Slayer, config.py is obsolete since April (FH 2.46).

[Slayer]

OK, didn't know that. Maybe it's an idea to have the Launcher delete all obsolete files?

[gavrant]

It does, Slayer, it does...

[Slayer]

Mmm, OK. Then why do I still have the config.py? 

[gavrant]

IIRC, there was no suitable torrent for 2.45 at the time of 2.46 release. Or perhaps you used the full installer. For upgrades from 2.46, 2.47, etc the launcher does delete obsolete files.

[Slayer]

OK, I get it. It still puzzles me a bit why the Launcher doesn't detect the files and deletes them anyway on a later update.

[Stubbfan]

I think the launcher will only detect files that itself installed at one point. For example, any old custom map will not be deleted etc.
