I've searched for mod/UGC content and found a few comments from players boasting some success with manipulating the game files to play with textures, animations, etc. Hopefully someone has found some camera settings as well...

Even though this game is amazing as it stands, I'm left wanting more control over the ride camera, to help with more immersive dark rides and coasters. (Essentially, what I want is the ability to create a FPV perfectly centered on the track, as if riding in the cart, but without the cart being visible.)

If it is possible to alter any or all of these variables, I would be happy to compensate someone for their time:

* Ability to move a FPV coaster cam up,down,left,right using keys, similar to RCT3. (Or, just the option to raise the "bumper cam" to a height equivalent to a few feet above the track, rather than a few inches.)
* Ability to remove/reduce LOD of coaster cars to zero, similar to RCT3, thus removing the cart from the POV.
* Disable the external camera that is triggered anytime the coaster cart leaves the track. (I want to keep the FPV regardless of the cart's condition, again, similar to RCT3.)

Thanks for any ideas, feel free to PM me for further discussion [up]

I think we will eventually get the ability to truly mod the game. But I believe thats a long long way away. Why won't they you ask? Or why wait? DLC. Why would I pay you for back to the future DLC if I can just make the carts myself. Or once someone else makes it just download it from the workshop.

I understand this concern. Its a valid one. Until frontier gives up on DLC for the game, they wont allow us to add to the game.

Frontier can still earn lots of money by making core gameplay elements and tons of better looking stuff any modder can probably do on his own. If anything it is a good thing to make sure so they release nice expansionpacks like a modern day Soaked! and Wild! and not just gocart skins for 3$ a piece

I rather enjoy the whole :gameplay: content free , cosmetic extras skins costs money.

Ensures that the stuff (at least stuff I deem valuable) all people really enjoy, all people can experience.

Free content is nice, but not everybody will pay for cosmetic skins so profits are better with bigger expansions. I have the base game, I'll wait for a UGC editor before buying silly scenery DLC, and anybody who makes blueprints using DLC will get less subscribers

Thanks for the input guys, but I'm really not wanting to start another UGC/mod thread, as I've seen people complaining in multiple others.

Regardless of if/when official support is coming, I'm focusing on a specific request here: if there is anyone out there that currently has the ability to customize camera controls, I'd be happy to pay you for your time.

not a mod thread, just wants a mod [yum] have you tried using an xbox controller?

 

[saucer78]

I have not used an xbox controller... is it supposed to offer more control over cameras? I just googled, but couldn't find anything...
