Topic: Flim room controls (Read 1565 times)

Been a while since I've played any sfc, and of course my manuals for both EAW and OP are long gone. Would someone be so kind as to post the film room controls, or a link to a web page that has them? I've tried keyboard mashing and dont seem to be able to figure them out

Well except to raise and lower the view.
thanks

I don't understand the issue. When the game loads up, one of the option tabs is the film room, at bottom left I think. The controls seem self-explanatory. My question is why do GSA and stock dyna server missions play fine in the film room while our specific campaigns CTD almost every time I try to play one?

If you start up OP and go straight to the film room it will CTD. You need to run a game of some sort (single player skirmish is fine) before watching any films. Once the game loads you can [ESC] right out of it.

Known bug.

*ahem* I didnt think I had to spel it out, but being a fed player, I understand why you might have difficulties

j/k
I meant the controls to move the cam etc while watching film...

Cut and paste from the OP readme file and voila!

HOME      Move Camera Counter-Clockwise
END      Move Camera Clockwise
PAGE UP      Tilt Camera Up
PAGE DOWN   Tilt Camera Down
-      Zoom In
+      Zoom Out

Also (since the forum isn't let me modify my last post), these usually help as well

F1      Overhead Camera
F2      Chase Camera
F3      Follow Camera (Default)
F4      Target Camera
F5      Toggle Camera Target Lock
F6      Jump to Ship #1
F7      Jump to Ship #2
F8      Jump to Ship #3
F9      Hud Minimal Information
F10      Hud Normal Information

T      Cycle through targets
SHIFT + T   Cycle through target (reverse order)
Y      Cycle through enemy targets
SHIFT + Y   Cycle through enemy target (reverse order)

As I remember, all of these have some effect in the film room...
F11      Hud Maximum Information

I must have the tester's version because that has never happened to me.

try www.khoromag.org for a print out of all the default hot keys from the "keyboard map". Just click on patches, utilities, charts etc. then scroll down for the keyboard map. That will give you a print copy of the above references.

Thanks for the posts guys. Argghh readme file, for some reason that never even crossed my mind.. feel free to slap me around a bit with a big fed xca or something

I wanted the controls, because I noticed quite a few films here and wanted to see some of them. I always love learning new strats etc..
