Hi all,

I've programmed a small tool which logs/saves the movement of the camera and export it as an simple c-script function which you can include in your project.

Why?
Well, often there are many problems with paths (especially with the rotation of the camera). Here you can move the camera by yourself.

How does it work?
You have to load your level first. After that you can start the movement saving and stop it if you're finished. Then you just have to include the output-script.

Here is a "step by step":
1. Download the tool
2. Unzip it and copy your level and all needed entities into the program folder
3. Start the program and follow the orders.
4. Copy the "output.wdl" to your project directory, include it to your script and start the function "cam_move(0);" to start the movement.

Here are some keys for the movement:
Arrows - Move camera
Mouse - Rotate the camera
Page Up/Down - Move camera (up/down)
Q/E - Change the roll of the camera
Shift/Ctrl - Move faster/slower


This tool isn't tested very much yet, so if you find bugs please report it and if you have suggestions, let me know them.

Have fun & Regards
TSGames

you can find me with my face in the keyboard, unshaven, listening to some nameless techno tragedy, and hashing through code over a cold cup a stale joe. __________________________________ yours truly

This seems like it could be expanded into a cutscene maker...

You can start it with a bigger nexus creating a shortcut and add the parameter:

-nx 300

for example. Just try it.

Well, you can make several movement scripts, you just have to rename the script and the function (cam_move) so you can find the right movement for the right "cutscene".
