This is a mod more for the SH4 gameplay mods.. USE WITH JSGME... It is a version to use with SH4 from scratch or with your saved games to give you (More) from the camera views than the usual chase after the sub (user free cam view) is the Skoaler SH4 combo Mod V5... Best to use in the JSGME program.. Just activate it and click (yes) to overwrite other mods you might have...
My goal is to make this game what it should of been.. They did an incredible job of what they did.. But my studies make it clear just from the (Camera.dat) the funding got cut off back then to the great mod guys of this game.. There are actually about 15 other camera stations the game has in the camera.dat that do not work or appear.. The mod I made here I found through other files (in my opinion) was in the works.. There was just no (Button) made in the main console.. So that is what this mod is -- as a work around
Welcome to the ((1AA SKOALER SH4 DEFAULT CAMERA STANDALONE MOD)) Activate this mod in JSGME and load the game from scratch (Or) over your saved games.. This mod adds a new green (SUB) button you will see that replaces the (Sonar icon) Hover mouse arrow over it and it will change to (DUB CLIK) -- Double mouse click it (Once) and the sub will appear (locked to camera) in the (Unit) mode.. You can use this view above or below the surface at any time to re- locate your sub (Without the U-marker--The orange circle thing that appears on the surface) When you go submerged.. Now that is not in the way as an eyesore... As I Alphaed it invisible.. The (Sonar) is still there.. Just Clik the radar icon and right mouse clik through the stations until it appears. You can also use this new button to cycle around to view all other nearby ships.. Just keep single clicking it again and and you will cycle through views of any ship units near you... At any time to reset the view of your sub-- just click any other station (Real quick) and then (Re- double click) my green (SUB ICON) .. When you do (Double clik) your boat with this new button-- just press the (Up arrow key) and I made the camera zoom fast up to it-- or on any other ship unit.. You will be camera locked to it and use mouse swivel to view above or below water line of your sub or any unit.. Dive your sub and camera will follow it.. Change to another station like the (Command room) and then re-double clik my (SUB) button and it will load the camera on it where it is at the time.. With this you do not have to keep chasing after your sub with the (Free user camera) and looking for that stupid (U-marker) to go underwater to it.. Valuable time is lost that way when you could instead be making kiLLZ.. Just clik my green (SUB) button in the bottom stations buttons and you are there...above or below.. cOOL or Whater!
Other extras are
1 Super zoom with attack periscope -- and the Observation scope also has increased zoom.. but with better wide screen to spot zoomies
2 Some better camera wide angle views- interior- Conning deck-
3 Closer camera view of the Radar screens- for older guys like me
4 The (Noise) texture is alpha out-- Why did they put that in there in the first place ? Looks like watching channel 13 from 2 states away on a tv in 1978
5 ? There might be something not covered

Now updated.. The camera is set to overwrite to the default SH4 camera.. So makes this overwritable in JSGME to any mods.. including my own.. Now all it does is edit the (Orders cfg) and the main CFG... to allow the new menu button (SuB) (Dub clik) for exterior view (camera locked) above or below water...
