This is a little something I made for fun.

Pretty-skin-camera-add-on (as seen in the 2nd page!): http://www.mediafire.com/?1hymdmhddzj 
goes in scripts/common. Replaces the 3rd person camera with a really close one from the front, to take pictures of skins.

Added in Version 1.1:
-Capacity to switch between Regular and close camera; when blocking hold jump.
-Camera is reset to normal in each new area.

1) Just the facts:
This mod puts the camera right behind the player controlled hero.
Some to all cutscenes will be broken, this might be a problem on some fights and levels.
It was made for fun.
It was made in a few hours.
It's really rustic.
It's really clunky.
It's as chaotic as hell (as in, hell is the total opposite of heaven, which is mostly in order)
Some to all cutscenes will be broken, this might be a problem on some fights and levels.
No need to start a new game.

2) Going back to how it was before:
It replaces fightstyle_default. A backup is provided.
To return everything to normal, put that backup in data/fightstyles.
No need to start a new game.

3) Other issues
I expect it to have indefinite and infinite bugs and other problems.
Some to all cutscenes will be broken, this might be a problem on some fights and levels.
Won't work if your team consists only of characters with a new fightstyle.
At least one character must have fightstyle_default (check herostat entry, all official characters have it).
Examples of mod characters with new fightstyles: Iron Fist, Punisher, Invisible Woman with add-on, Mystique, etc.
When you change characters, it takes a couple of seconds for the camera to get in position.
If you do one action for a little while (like running on a straight line, or using Captain America's Shield Charge), the camera will be left behind.


I've tested it only a little, but so far, it's incredibly fun, nevertheless.

I don't think I'll be updating this. Ever.


Thanks to the master$$$ for the camera angles.
Thanks to Teancum for the study and info on .py scripts.

See, I told you Gevth is the Big Scripting Guy around here!

[the master$$$]

OMFG!!!!!You are the true master of scripts thx dude loved your video WOW!!!!Cant wait to try it!!!

[Gevth]

One more thing: I've got no idea what would happen in multiplayer. Chances are the camera would jump wildly between the player controlled characters, every few seconds, or just stays behind the 1st player.

In any case, better to just put the old fightstyle_default.xmlb before starting a multiplayer game.

[Gevth]

UPDATE: I came up with a way to give the player the ability to switch between normal and close camera.
With the new version (V1.1), hold jump while blocking, until the camera changes. The camera resets to normal view whenever you enter a new map.

IMPORTANT: If you think of any other way to improve this, post it here. If I think it's possible, I'll address it, or at least give an idea on how it could be done.

Woah, a "key" for switching cams. *Bows for Big Scripting Guy*

[ThePhoenix]

Woah, really. This is amazing. One thing I didn't like in the older version was that some objectives were hard to ochieve with camera so near the character. Now I can change it whenever I want
Thanks, "Big Scripting Guy"

[the master$$$]

YESH,YESH!!!!-M.Bison quote LOL
Now i can change it whenever i want (wich will be in rare situations,cause i dig it)

[Quentin Hex]

question: does this mod require a new game to work?

[piutebob]

2) Going back to how it was before:
It replaces fightstyle_default. A backup is provided.
To return everything to normal, put that backup in data/fightstyles.
No need to start a new game.

I take that as a no.

And Gevth, if you don't get Marvel Modder status from this, I don't know how you'll get it!

In other words: Awesomeizzio!
