Camera zoom w/ 1.01
« on: February 28, 2003, 04:51:28 pm »
I did a clean reinstall of SFC3 then installed the Patch.

Now the + and - keys don't zoom the camera in or out like they did before.


any fixes?.

I noticed that the patch changed a lot of my keys, might be because I use azerty but I turn down gamespeed by using the esc key, the pause key or the up arrow; that is a bit of overkill, and the ctrl key doesn't do anything anymore.

Open your ini file with notepad and see if the UI section looks like this:

Code:

[UI]
UIType=0
QuickTip=1
Grid=0
OrderDelay=30
HeadingDisplay=0
SkipUpsell=1
ASCIICharacterSet=0
Language=English
TacDisplayRes=6


Does it?

    I added the DirectX9 patch over the 1.01.

While it definetly helps the graphics; I still cant get the camera to zoom, no mater what settings I try.

Did you run the game between patching and installing?

Fresh install -> run SFC3 at least once -> Patch?

Does the UI section of your ini file match mine?

Thanks guys, my azerty problem is solved, I didn't know where I had to specify it but thanks to you I saw it was in the UI I had to put down French as a language, no more misterious game slowdowns when hitting pause and my ctrl's work again. I like the thumbs up

no.

I did the new install and the patch at the same time.  I added the DX9 patch later.

Man, you had me going there for a minute trying to figure out what your "azerty" was...then, when I figured it out I felt foolish as all get out.  

Glad we could help.

Which .ini file?  SFC.ini doen't have any of that in it.
All it has is [3d] settings.  
Other than qsdebug.ini there are no other .ini files in any of the SFC3 folders.

I heard the DX9 fix comes in 1.01.  If that is true you probably put back older files by adding the DX9 patch.

Ok, try this path: My Computer-->C:-->Program Files-->Activision-->SFc3

When you open the SFc3 folder you should see a file icon that looks like this

Right click it and select open with, then select notepad and let me know if the UI section matches mine.

There is nothing that says [UI] in SFC.ini.  All there is is:

[3D]
windowed=0
wireframe=0
driver=0
resmode=3
zbuffer=1
Specularity=1
Luminosity=1
DamageSkin=1
DamageLuminosity=1
LevelOfDetail=100
ParticleDensity=100
DamageSkinResolution=100
BreakPieceLingerTime=61


That is the entire cntents of of sfc.ini

Ok, this is what your ini should look like

Code:

[Game]
DeathCam=1

DifficultyLevel=2
AutoFilm=1
TargetDirection=1
RaceShieldFX=1

[Network]
PlayerName=Toasty0
SessionName=Players Game
SessionType=Starfleet
NetLib=1
SynchWait=600

[3D]
wireframe=0
windowed=1
zbuffer=1
resmode=0
driver=0
backdrop=1
shipstacking=1
ambientlighting=0.2
luminancetextures=1
luminancedamagetextures=1
spacedust=0
Specularity=1
LevelOfDetail=100
ParticleDensity=100
Luminosity=1
DamageSkin=1
DamageSkinResolution=100
DamageLuminosity=1
BreakPieceLingerTime=100


[AI]                
TemplatePath=assets\ai\personalities
TacticsPath=assets\ai\tactics
AIAttack=1
AIMove=1
ProcessThreats=1
AIDrawFlight=0
AIDrawTarget=0
AIDrawWeapons=0

[UI]
UIType=0
QuickTip=1

[Mouse]

That's it. If your ini file does not look similiar to that then you have a problem that only reinstalling will cure.

Obviously it isn't running flawlessly or you wouldn't be here asking for help.

Or, have I just been spoofed?

No No.

Thank you for all your help, the zoom's working now.  It's just that that was the only thing that didn't work.
