gameplayPlugin enable 3rd person tank view
« on: 14-07-2016, 11:07:09 »
Hello, I really like playing this mod, but I really dont like the cam on the tanks.

I read on an old thread about adding the word "testing" on some line, but since then things seem to have been changed. The file in which I should add the word was compiled, so I had to decompile it, which I managed to do after some hours. I found the line for adding the word (line 11 now), added it, but then I got troubles.

I couldn't recompile the file and the game crashed when I used the .py file I decompiled. I tried many things with python but now I'm really sick of it. So I would like to ask if someone can send me a compiled "gameplayPlugin.py" file with the word "testing" added in line 11, in the same fashion as described on the older thread (http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=9449.0).

I know the 3rd person cam was innitially removed but I would like to use it for SP and LAN fun, I think for MP it is better to don't have one, to make it easier for those magnetic miners to blow up tanks, but I when I play against bots I like to look at the (btw amazing) tank instead of that crazy barrel cam.

There's a much easier way to add the testing plugin now. You can revert back to using the compiled gameplayplugin by deleting the uncompiled .py file.
Then do the following to enable the testing plugin:

In your fh2 folder open fh2.cfg
If it's not there already, copy fh2.cfg_template and rename it to fh2.cfg
then replace this line:
Code: [Select]
#append_plugins = []
with:
Code: [Select]
append_plugins = ['testing']
save and start fh2
I do bad things to the BF2 engine.

I didn't, took me some time to discover haha. It makes driving a tank very immersive though. Thanks for the great mod!
