Third Person Mod

Fantastic job on this mod, amazing work, and it all fits in 3Kb!

Download Entry contains a comparison video I put together.

The crosshair does not work well - to widescreen resolutions -. It does not appear in center - in zoom mode -

[Ruddy]

yeah i'm not a very good modder so the zoomed crosshair is a desperate fix, maybe i could tell to some better modder how i did it and he could fix it...... anyone?

I really would like to know, couse I'm curious and I spent few times trying to display a dot while aiming , If you could share the part ofthe script you use for the green circle will be great.

Really cool! Seeing this mod go virtually abandoned because it looked too ambitious to get working with GRAW's mod capabilities was really discouraging; seeing it working is really exciting!

How exactly do ya install the thing though? Copy over original files, or...?

Just unzip in your Local Language folder ex: ....../Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter/Local/English

Yes, I just wondered if this was a complete new version or if I copied the files over the older version; some information here and elsewere make it sound like an update to the other mod...

I tried 'em both and basically it seems to me that Ruddy's upgrade adjust the camera settings ( while you're running the camera is centered now ,solved lean issues and add the crosshair while aiming that is the big question to solve now ), personally I prefer some of the previous "Tps" settings in particular running with the camera not centered is less shacking for me .

Display a crosshair that works good with all weapons while aiming is what we need to solve to make this wonderfull mod 100% playable, I'm sure that someone in this forum will be able to do this, we just have to wait or try by ourselves to do something.

about the crosshair, i added 1 file to the Tpcs version and in this file were some disabled commands (like they were in <!-- --> ) so i allowed oll of them (deleted the <!-- --> ) and little adjusted the position of that blue circle that appeared...

i'd write it more accurately but in the moment my comp is broken and here inn school i can't really work with it.....

[HerVoice]

pretty cool mod. In fact the best mod i've found.

also I have played bit with it and i think maybe i upgradet it a little. At least your character doesent blind your crosshair and the cammera moves when you lean (i mean: when you lean left the camera moves so thet Mitchell is by the right edge of the screen so you have a lot of space on the left)

Also I have added a crosshair when aiming and it works good (relatively speaking)

If some1 still cares about this mod I'd like to hear is this is better than the previous posted here.

Nice work, crosshair is a nice addition, however the tweak to camerasettings.xml makes the camera shake all the time when you move forward and makes the game unplayble for me.

I think it's best to just add your gui folder to the tps version...

I have played with this mod aswell and I think that if you want better angles while leaning it's better to just tweak the tps settings slightly and just move the camera a bit more behind. That way the camera won't shake and you would see more than enough aswell...

here is an example

<camera name="person" type="target">

<camera local_offset="-210 0 -10">

<controller type="distance" distance="10" track_target="false" lerp="0.1"/>

<controller type="height" height="50" lerp="0.1" track_target="false"/>

</camera>

So Im assuming this modification will not work on widscreen, because when I try and use it, all I see is a crosshair and nothing else. Looks like [GR].

[Nutlink]

I run the game at 1680x1050, and have personally had no problems with this mod at all. I only played with it for about a half hour or so though.

I KONW HOW TO MAKE mr-c COMBATIBLe WITH THE 3rd person mod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

note: it does not zoom and handles like xm8 but!!! if u are willing to play like that then what u do is go to the U_addons (availible through ogn mod) scroll down to the crye combat sight and change model file from crye_combat_sight to m8_combat_sight then save now go to the u_crye and change the anim name at the top of the page from crye to m8 now save and load the game!!!!! view is like xm8 but it works like a charm also i know how to mak,e aimer like the 360 just delete everything in ur crosshair scar folder and replacw with this:

sorry sounds a little freaky err lemme put in simple: just go to the crosshair scar and change all the way at the do a ctr+f in the doc like in notpad or somethin and tyep in ch_centre_spr when it finds it change the place object numbers (17 17 0) to 500 500 0 (this will completely get rid of the stuff inside of the reticule now doa ctrl+f for usable_spr and change the size from 32 or whatever it is to a 50 that will make it like the graw 360 reticule thats it now save and try...................still no known update for the 4 dots that surrond SOL there

[sgt.hoot]

argh got screwed up scratch the size at the ch centre instead change the usable_ spr to size 50 and change teh ch centre spr to size 0 i think ittl work sorry been up all night cant think

[wikytiky125]

I loveee this mod! If you can make it like the 3rd person on the consoles woooooooooo

[=warcloud=]

It's Fun & different playing tpv, seems grin did a lot of work with this game, some cool animations.

[sgt.hoot]

heh been messing with the renderer settings more or less just mess arount with the crosshair thing i eventually got it to look like graw x360

[Commander Outcast]

this isnt compatable with the m4 mod is it?

[sgt.hoot]

oh yes very much so if u get confused just copy the files to desktop temporarily and copy em to ur english nothing should get overwritten
