DiRT Rally DiRT Rally - Enhanced Camera Control Mod 4.2

Unfortunately, there is no way to uninstall the Mod. We have to restore the default file(s) from the backup manually.

For me, running a Steam file integrity check restored all the original camera.xml files. I think?

@Tommi-TAG External cameras, every car is the same, correct?

It depends on what you want to do.
Please edit and try it by yourself, and you can see the result.

(P.S.)
@gfRally
I've sent a PM to you.

Thanks for sharing a good idea, Fleskebacon. I've not thought of it.
I've tested Steam Integrity Check now, and it worked. But it took around 20 minutes to check all files.
To restore the default cameras from the backup is still easy and quick way. But if the player forgot to make a backup, Steam Integrity Check works to restore the default cameras.
Anyway, I'm going to add the default camera files in the next update. It would be convenient for everyone.
Thanks again.

Do you think it's possible to join forces with VeloW and combine this mod with his mod MoreCarMovement mod? http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/morecarmovement.6169/

Would be awesome to both have his effect and your straightline camera angle + ability to move the camera further than usual!

Thanks for your suggestion, chukonu.
Unfortunately, each modder is enhancing the camera options separately by modding at the moment.
But it would be awesome if Codemasters could add more camera options and make it possible to adjust "everything" in-game. I also hope to see that in the future update or next DiRT game.

Oh man, am i feeling stupid right now. I've been using v4.1 and everything is setup just perfect. Don't want to change a thing, but just update with the new cars. However i didn't document which FOV i originally used, but i'm guessing it's one of the 45.5-55-5 or 55.0-70.0 since i'm on a single monitor setup. What would be the easiest way to find out which cameras.xml is currently in use? Thanks!

Oh, and a big thanks for the mod! It's been a true gamechanger for the better.

Thanks so much for replying!
I understand that I now have to choose between the one and the other But I was wondering if your and his mod maybe target different values in the XML file, and that they could be merged? I took a look inside (with the binXML converter) but as I have no experience with that I found it hard to find out wether or not maybe the mods would be compatible were they to be merged. It seems to be the case but I cannot say for sure.

Thanks for your kind comment, RaceWasGood.
About old Ver.4.1 cars (files), I changed nothing this time. So, you can keep using Ver4.1.

- About how to know "which cameras.xml is currently in use", please try this way.

1. About "which car uses which folder", please refer to this thread.

http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/dirt-rally-cars-tracks-folder-names-list.104727/

2. Next, go to the following directory and open the folder of the car you are playing with.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DiRT Rally\cars\models\(car folder)

3. Open "cameras.xml" file with Notepad. And search (find) by keyword "45.5", "55.5", "45.0" or "70.0".

If you can find "45.5" or "55.5", => you are using "FOV 45.5-55.5" file.
If you can find "50.0" or "70.0", => you are using "FOV 55.0-70.0" file.

I'm not sure this is the exact answer to your question though please let me know if you have any further problem. Hope this helps.

Thanks and yes, that's the exact answer to my question I'm a bit confused though, cause my

...\steamapps\common\DiRT Rally\cars\models\(car folder)\cameras.xml -files

contains all of the alternatives: "45.5", "55.5", "50.0" and "70.0". For example when i do a search/count with notepad++ within the ...\models\mcs\cameras.xml file i get 45.5 - 1 match, 55.5 - 1 match, 50.0 - 2 matches and 70.0 - 3 matches

My explanation was not enough, I'm sorry.
"45.5" is a unique number used only in my Mod.
So,

If you can find "45.5", => you are using "FOV 45.5-55.5" file.
If you can't find "45.5", => you are not using "FOV 45.5-55.5" file.

Hope this helps.

 

[RaceWasGood]

That makes sense, so now i know i must be using the FOV 45.5-55.5 settings. Great, thank you!

Hi everyone!
I would like to use the "Center Cam adjusted to Roof Cam with Tilt-Down" for the Ford Fiesta RS Rally car, I installed the file into the folder but nothing happens, it's like the game reverts to the original.
Can you please help me? What am I doing wrong?

Hi, bsbenny.
Thanks for your feedback.
I tested all files (of all cars) when I released Ver.4.1. And I've tested the files of Ford Fiesta RS Rally car (not Rallycross) again, and they worked fine on my PC.

- Please try this way again.

1. Please choose the folder (of this Mod) which you want to install, and you can find "cameras.xml" file in it. (a)

2. Go to the following directory, and you can find "cameras.xml" file there, too.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DiRT Rally\cars\models\ffr\cameras.xml (b)

3. Copy & paste (a) to (b), then overwrite.

4. Run "DiRT Rally" and check if it works.

- Also as I wrote in the Readme, please copy & paste "cars" folder when you install the Mod.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DiRT Rally\cars

Hope this helps. And please let me know if you still have the problem.
