[Fixed][B3.1]Loopcams Issue (cam2)

Yes that's about the cam2, but not the same discussion as this one :
http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic. ... 70&t=16940
The problem is more about the loopcam than the cam2.
At the begin of the loopcam, all works fine (it switches to cam3).
But, at the end,
the cam3 isn't directly followed with the cam2 (if the default cam is the cam2) : we can see that
the cam does strange motions before return to the cam2.
For FS maps it can be a real problem. So I hope this issue will be resolved.
BTW, thanks Nadeo for all the work you do every day

have to agree with this post.
i have spent 2 hrs trying to tidy up the cams on my map F in L , not expecting anyone here to know it as its quite old but its a full speed crazy loopy map from tmn days , cams were fine though i always recomended ppl used cockpit view i had them switching ok for most people.
In the current version when switching back from cockpit to the follow cam it kind of starts with a side view untill the car passes and then follows only taks a fraction of a second but on a FS map thats half a sec to long !!!

I have noticed the same problem as well.
Coming out of loops using cam 2 causes the cam to spin around and totally disorientates you.
Switching to cam 1 and the MT works fine.

Yes I found a forum talking about this! Ive tried to build a good loop in tm2. cam 1 works great for loops. but that screws people who like cam3. The best solution ive found is that you just need to put the empty trigger for the switch back to cam 2 or i mean default cam, You need to put it farther back. like 3 blocks away from the loop. I guess that depends on the speed. The faster the farther u need to put the empty trigger away from the loop. I hope this isnt something everyone needs to start doing. I hope this just gets fixed. I could be wrong but in tmnf and nations most people race with cam 2.

It has been like this for ever. Look at this ancient tutorial on mania-creative. (from an eara where it was still called tm-creative)
http://www.mania-creative.com/howto/tm_ ... ndex-eng-1
There it's allready explained with two triggers.

This is something that really needs looking into and fixing.
If your default is cam 2 and you are forced to another cam or you are forced to cam 2 and your default isn't cam 2 there as always been an erratic 360 camera spin since the release of TM Forever. I don't remember it happening before Forever. I remember playing tracks on TMN and all ok and when they were imported to TMNF it all went wrong.
I'm sure this is a bug that should be fixed. It feels like Cam 1 and 3 are set at 0 degrees and cam 2 is set at -0 degrees. So for the cam to get from 0 to -0 it's got to do that 360 spin.

I confirm that the change between cam1 and cam2 is wrong. -0 degrees makes a lot of sence indeed. I could never get my mind around it how to write it down properly. Thnxz m8
