Morning All.

This may be considered as a Mod, or May not.

It is a little something that I found when modifying the Stats in the Script Files:

For those of you who already know. Fine, this is not for you.

For those who don’t. You will never know true Fun unless you try it.

The reason why I am hosting it is because I am fed up of the quality of some of the images that I see in these hosted mods.

It allows you to access the Developers Camera, and all forms of camera angles and shots. (Even inside buildings and ships.) I have Included Some example pictures for Your enjoyment on what It will allow you to Do (Think ETW Trailers).

How To DO:

Find the file Labelled

Preferences.script

Located in:

For XP:--C:\Documents and Settings\<<USER NAME>>\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts\

For Vista:-- C:\Users\"youraccountname"\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts

Once in this file change this line:

default_camera_type 0; # default_battle_camera <card32>, default battle camera: 0-totalwar 1-rts 2-debug #

Change the 0 to a 2.

This will then unlock the developers Camera.

Save the File and Close.

There are no bugs, apart from the aforementioned.

It is great for screenshots, and even better for the “Follow units key” (default: delete)

Note: If you access the Main Video settings, and or In Game Control settings then it will reset and you will have to exit and reapply.

RECCOMENDATIONS:

When you Open Total war and play a skirmish, it will enter in developer’s camera. (will be a little disorientating at first, camera may throw you a long way away [would recommend double clicking on a unit card])

Sea is no longer the floor, you can see under and around ships, even ‘stick your head out a gun hole’ this is best with the ‘follow’ function because it will keep you moving with the ship (even if you are inside it)

I have included an example file to be able to give an idea, or to be used by those who are too lazy to change the data.
