setting at third person over the shoulder in combat mode

[Alyen91]

as the title suggests, I would like the camera to be always positioned to the in towards the shoulder this is already set when I'm not fighting. but when I draw the bow the camera returns to the center making it difficult for me to aim in some situations.

Isn't there a setting in the launcher that allows this?

ahahaha ... but you didn't tell me how ... isn't there a setting on openmw that allows me to always keep the camera right over my shoulder even in fights?

I second that. Atm camera switches when you enter/exit combat mode, and that's annoying.

I was able to keep the camera over the shoulders even in combat by commenting some lines in "resources/vfs/scripts/omw/third_person.lua".
Below is the code already edited, just replace all the code inside and save.

Code: Select all

local camera = require('openmw.camera')
local settings = require('openmw.settings')
local util = require('openmw.util')
local self = require('openmw.self')
local nearby = require('openmw.nearby')

local MODE = camera.MODE
local STATE = { RightShoulder = 0, LeftShoulder = 1, Combat = 2, Swimming = 3 }

local M = {
    baseDistance = settings._getFloatFromSettingsCfg('Camera', 'third person camera distance'),
    preferredDistance = 0,
    standingPreview = false,
    noOffsetControl = 0,
}

local viewOverShoulder = settings._getBoolFromSettingsCfg('Camera', 'view over shoulder')
local autoSwitchShoulder = settings._getBoolFromSettingsCfg('Camera', 'auto switch shoulder')
local shoulderOffset = settings._getVector2FromSettingsCfg('Camera', 'view over shoulder offset')
local zoomOutWhenMoveCoef = settings._getFloatFromSettingsCfg('Camera', 'zoom out when move coef')

local defaultShoulder = (shoulderOffset.x > 0 and STATE.RightShoulder) or STATE.LeftShoulder
local rightShoulderOffset = util.vector2(math.abs(shoulderOffset.x), shoulderOffset.y)
local leftShoulderOffset = util.vector2(-math.abs(shoulderOffset.x), shoulderOffset.y)
local combatOffset = util.vector2(0, 15)

local state = defaultShoulder

local rayOptions = {collisionType = nearby.COLLISION_TYPE.Default - nearby.COLLISION_TYPE.Actor}
local function ray(from, angle, limit)
    local to = from + util.transform.rotateZ(angle) * util.vector3(0, limit, 0)
    local res = nearby.castRay(from, to, rayOptions)
    if res.hit then
        return (res.hitPos - from):length()
    else
        return limit
    end
end

local function trySwitchShoulder()
    local limitToSwitch = 120  -- switch to other shoulder if wall is closer than this limit
    local limitToSwitchBack = 300  -- switch back to default shoulder if there is no walls at this distance

    local pos = camera.getTrackedPosition()
    local rayRight = ray(pos, camera.getYaw() + math.rad(90), limitToSwitchBack + 1)
    local rayLeft = ray(pos, camera.getYaw() - math.rad(90), limitToSwitchBack + 1)
    local rayRightForward = ray(pos, camera.getYaw() + math.rad(30), limitToSwitchBack + 1)
    local rayLeftForward = ray(pos, camera.getYaw() - math.rad(30), limitToSwitchBack + 1)

    local distRight = math.min(rayRight, rayRightForward)
    local distLeft = math.min(rayLeft, rayLeftForward)

    if distLeft < limitToSwitch and distRight > limitToSwitchBack then

        state = defaultShoulder
    end
