adding camera views to the inside of a car

[jamal17]

does anyone know how to add different camera views to a train similar to the way Magicland does with his subway cars where you get different views of the trains inside

I suppose that you would have to put a "cab" kuid in the cars config file, or change it to be a loco ? ? ?

I don't really know how ... but one of Ocemeys passenger car has a great interior view (don't go in the lavatory).

You need to set up the camera positions in the interior of the vehicle in question. If you look at the config file for the interior used by Magicland in his subway cars you will see references to the various camera positions used.

Alternatively you can add the line: -freeintcam in your trainzoptions file

will i need to add attachment points or just set up a camera views similar to the ones Magicland have?

No, you dont need attachment points. You need something like this in the gonfig file of the relevant interior

cameralist
{
camera0 -0.04,4.196,0,0,-0.1
camera1 -0.311,-0.169,0.07,1.38,0.004
camera2 0.075,-0.711,0.067,3.15,0
camera3 0.16,2.389,0.267,3.15,0
camera4 0.235,3.292,1.545,-7.427,-0.082
camera5 -0.912,3.212,1.545,0.177,0
camera6 -0.899,2.041,1.545,3.015,-0.064
camera7 0.057,3.139,0.3,3.15,0
camera8 -0.336,3.612,0.2,-5.705,0.34
}

(But with the numbers 'tabbed' across to be inline with the other entries in the config file)

The numbers after each camera number are similar to grid references and allow Trainz to work out the positions of the camera. Start small and add a couple of new camera positions to the existing config file and see the results before adding anymore. You may need an element of trial and error to get the positions just right

did you get that off a train with a lot of good camera views? im just asking becuase when i put it on a train i dont want to set it up the wrong way and it doesnt work.

Clone your asset, and re-name it ... then expriment only on the clone, not the real original asset.

Yes its lifted straight from a config file in Trainz. As has been suggested, make a clone and fiddle with that, not the original asset

where do i put those lines in the config file that says what the camera view would look like

 

[4ndylloyd]

Open Content Manger and search for keyword 'interior' . Find one in the list that is locally installed and right click on it and select 'View Config file', this will show you how and where to enter your camera list

No problem, Just remember to keep it simple and start by adding one extra camera to start with. ONce you have the idea of what you are doing you can add others
