Cameras in jka? how vs jk2?

[Acrobat]

I was helping a friend convert his jk2 map to jka, and he has cameras. Everything in map is working except those.

 

They work in jk2 but not jka.

 

How exactly are cameras made in jka, and is it impossible to have ones that work in both games?

[mrwonko]

Which kind of camera?

[eezstreet]

Cameras are exactly the same between the games. The only (major) difference is that the script_targetname for the player in JK2 is "kyle", while the script_targetname in JKA is "player". So anything that affect()s "kyle" will need to affect "player" instead.

 

EDIT: I'm talking about cinematic cameras and ICARUS, specifically

Is it possible to make it work for jka, but still have it work for jk2 though?

[eezstreet]

Not unless you hack the game, as I did here.

[redsaurus]

maybe do each instruction twice, once affect player and once affect kyle?

[eezstreet]

i made it into a cvar more or less

[redsaurus]

(I mean in the script, so no mods are needed)

[eezstreet]

ah, you are correct @@redsaurus. That is an interesting point.

[therfiles]

Maybe try posting the scripts in question. Maybe we can change it there.

Well in jk2 it's a shader. I'm on my mac right now so can't post, but I'll post if people think I could alter the shader to make it work for both somehow.

Do you mean 'script', not 'shader'? Thats fine. We may be able to edit it possibly, so if you can post it, that would be great!

This is the shader I use in jk2 on the screen
