I really want this mod to work and it has, pretty well, in the past, it's a great concept and I really appreciate the thought and work that it must have taken.
Unfortunately, in my game, when exiting conversations the camera jumps to either a straight up view or a straight down view (PC's head). It could easily be a conflict somewhere but I can't localize it and if this has been previously discussed, I apologize.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. In any case, thanks for the mod!
Do you use Improved Camera? I think there are several options from Improved Camera to make it compatible with this mod. Unfortunately, I forgot which options
Switched the setting from "bSwitchPOVMatchCameraRotX=1" to "bSwitchPOVMatchCameraRotX=0" (in improved camera .ini ) which solved the problem of camera skipping to sky/ground.
I found out that if you have a mod like True Directional Movement or any other mod that have head tracking you will have a bug where your dialogue options won't show sometimes. To fix it you have to disable the headtracking option on the MCM, i did that and is working fine with TDM now
I've been having this issue a YEAR, it's simple a fix! It's caused my quests and other encounters to mess up when I have to back out of a forced conversation. I came onto this mod page specifically to find if the bug was patched and found it's just a mod conflict thanks to you! Appreciate it!
Been modding for like 15 years and never felt the urge to comment on a mod until now. I've been hoping for a camera mod that does exactly this for so long, thank you
The mod still works and is quite immersive... but sometimes it has a small problem, when starting a conversation the dialogue options do not appear and I cannot continue the conversation, causing me to be forced out of the conversation.
I'm assuming you were new to modding at the time of this post and have since figured things out a bit. However for anyone else seeing this and wondering. If your new to modding, it is incredibly important that you READ everything when installing mods. It's very easy to assume a typical install and accidently skip a step even though it's clearly stated in the instructions. Your first instinct when having issues should always be to read the instructions again more carefully, THEN ask for help and do so in a polite way. OP did a good job, just mentioning that because people on here can be incredibly rude.
In this case, under the "file" tab each download is clearly labeled with the version of Skyrim it works for.
is there a way to get the camera to move up over the shoulder? no matter what I do inside the ini settings the camera always stays in the same place. I can make it move right/left but never up/down..
First off, I absolutely love this mod and will always have it, this detail makes the game so cinematic and nice. I have one question however, it's not a gripe (kind of), I switched this off: bSwitchTarget=0 I personally don't like the camera flip transition, the only reason I'm bringing this up is because I was wondering if there's a way to just have an instant cut transition instead of that camera flip and zoom thing. It's a little too much. I can easily live without though, thank you again for making this. (I also wanna state quick that I ramped the transition speed as high as possible, still not my taste, just letting you know I'm aware of that option)
Same boat as you, the quick panning of the camera is a bit jarring for my tastes. I was hoping to find a solution in the comments, but I guess it just can't be an instant cut transition
Yeah, that would have made this mod kissable. I just disabled the switch over all, still looks way better than vanilla. The flip just looks so rediculous. I don't know how hard it would actually be to mod it in so I'm not trying to complain. I don't know what it takes to make mods.
You could look into the mod "Improved Alternate Conversation Camera". I have yet to try it out myself, but as the name suggests it aims to improve upon this mod in many ways.
So I've slightly narrowed down the headtracking preventing dialogue options from not appearing, it tends to happen the most if you happen to not be facing the npc with your body AND the cam, so if it has to swing around too far your cam locks in an awkward spot and bugs the convo. But if you are vigilant enough and focus your body and cam on the npc in anticipation, you can almost always get the dialogue to show up. Now idk how to make a fix for this, I'm just an avid user but this is what I've noticed after a few years of this and refusing to turn off head tracking as a fix. Moral of the story, face the front lol

Try searching some previous posts.
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/102103
1.6.1170 came out in 2023
I don't think this is compatible with 1.6.1170.
In this case, under the "file" tab each download is clearly labeled with the version of Skyrim it works for.
But be warned it's for 3rd person point of view.
