**************************************
Now UpDated to version 2 - what's new?
I tried to eliminate perspective distortions.
There is a decreased limit to max. distance and camera's angle is corrected too.
It schould make ingame using more comfortable.
**************************************
Unofficial NWMAIN.EXE modification.
1. Unlock camera angle, so u can look to the sky.
2. Unlock camera distance, so u can see game like FPS, or zoom out far away.
3. Increase FOG distance.
The best way how to get min zoom "FPS like wiev" is by pressing "Home" button
and to restore normal wiew is by pressing "Num *". If u zoom to "FPS wiev"
only by middle mouse scrool button u might still see your character's body...
If u zoom out, u will not see more creatures/enemies then in not modifed game,
u will see only more terain.
If u press "End" button, u might see only black screen, its becouse u zoomed
out too much, simply use middle mouse scrool button to zoom in or press
"Home" button or "Num *".
The reason why I created this is that I was interested in the feeling of
"FPS like wiev" in NWN and the possibility how to use it during creating
in-game video.
This mod is inspired by BrandonW's Camera Angle Hack Version J
Link as well as Forrestwolf's Camera Hack

This patch were built in uNivErsaL PatCheR 2.0.b1
This patch will find path to nwmain.exe in registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BioWare\NWN\Neverwinter]
"Location"= (for.ex.: "D:\Games\NeverwinterNights")
Or you can use "Location" button and find nwmain.exe by your self.
This patch does not create backup, but it is able to restore changes.
If u have diferent version of nwmain.exe, download this Official UpDate
NWNEnglish1.69HotUUpdate.exe and apply it.
//Sry for bad english
Enjoy game.
If you prefere hex editing this might be helpfull:
To calculate float value I used: "Float / Hex Conversion" by John Gerthoffer
Link
*****************************************************************************
Max distance: 00 00 C8 41 = float 25 to 00 00 C8 42 = float 100
*****************************************************************************
Min distance: 00 00 80 3f = float 1 to cc cc 4c be = -0.2 (1st person wiev)
problem resolved. I found another nwmain.exe from another pc and I have replaced it. I must say that probably there was not fault of your patch. After have spoken with someone more expert than me of registry C., I have reason to believe that an error may be occurred during the application of the patch, that corrupted some file. At the end I think that it was a misfortuned case, that can rarely happen. I've even seen that problem can present hitself in the areas whit set: "interior" and/or "underground"

PS. I've also opened nwmain.exe with an hex editor, but I can't be able to find were are the lines to change.

Hello guys, infected... What can I say? Firstly I claim, there is no virus, trojan, piece of code trying to modife OS, files, what so ever. Mine patch maded in uNivErsaL PatCheR 2.0.b1 (as I wrote above) modife only nwmail.exe and yes... This kind of befaviour can be marked by some paranoid AV as illegal. You dont have to trust me and I do not recomend to trust anyone on the internet. So you can download programs like TotalUninstall (trial) and check what is any program trying to do. Or you can try to modife your nwmain directly - I gived you offsets above. Or enjoy game without it... Its up to You. _________________________ NWN SoU+HotU 1.69 camera mod v2 - UpDated 02/10/09

When I download this it get blocked by both avg and avast! I went ahead and downloaded on a different box and ported it over and networked it over and several parts of my computer got infected (explorer.exe, localhost.exe) I reinstall windows and tried again with the same results. Wondering if I am doing something wrong, or if somehow this really did pick up a virus (which seems unlikely based on the glowing reviews.) I'd really love to use this. Any insight or input would be appreciated.

Thanks!! Wonderful hak!

Easily in my top five for greatest game changing modifications. Awesome stuff. That said, wouldn't mind the maximum draw distance to be a bit farther out, but otherwise, the update is a nice fine tuning.

Can this hack rotate the camera so everything looks upside down?
