Buildings getting in my way

[Draksa 0]

Hi, got to level 17 and last night went to the human zone and headed straight for the main town/city. I am having a really hard time seeing what I am doing. It seems no matter what the camera zoom is at when ever I turn I just get a view of the back of buildings. Also when I am in buildings it hardly ever goes to room view so I spend ages walking into walls trying to find my way out with just guess work.

 

Any way round this?

Tried that but I am unfamiliar with windows to know what I doing. I am dual booting from a mac, put windows on here not so long ago just for games. I eventually I found folder options and selected show hidden folders but no change, even after a restart no more folders where shown so cant edit relevant file

Try clicking Start -> Run, and typing %appdata% in the window that opens. That will take you to the Application Data folder that you need.

You have to make the optionscustom.txt file. Simply open something like notepad and copy/paste the camera options you want (from the thread Anti linked) and save as optionscustom.txt

Make sure it is in the same folder as options.txt

 

Or you could make a copy of the options.txt and name it options.bak or something and then edit the original file.

 

BTW welcome to the forum

Thanks for welcome and info Knuckles

 

Got mod working, I am far from that city now so couldnt get chance to see if it was any better there.

 

Dont undunstand how such bad programming got past beta testers. On other games I played when a building is behind a character the camera is pushed forward to a sort of first person view so the building doesnt obstruct the view.

It didn't get past beta testers... it got past the bug fixers...

As a former beta tester and moderator, I have to say you summed it up perfectly There were soooo many things I reported that never got fixed
