**************************************
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)
AVG Free reports the v2 file to contain a trojan horse downloader. Anyone else had similar issues?

Hello Roma_CZ Mac guy here. I believe our first problem with your quite tempting application might be only because it's compressed in an .exe format, but the kind we can't open. Maybe, if you were able to provide it under some .zip, .7z, or even .rar format, we could at least open it and, maybe, maybe, once this is done, be able to use it depending on if what's inside is for us or not. As I wouldn't mind playing with it myself, just as some other Mac users I'm sure. (The Linux version doesn't help.) Thanks. _________________________ @ + jml, level 52 "Overgod?

All I can say is THANKS!!!! I found out about your work from the forum at World of Grayhawk (a low magic server I play in). At first I was afraid to use your work thinking it was going to be complicated to make the changes but was very surprised to see how easy it was (one press of a button *modify* and done wow!) I am so glad there are people out there that understand code. I hope Bioware takes notice of you work such details make such a difference in game play. Maybe you take requests *grins*. If you are good with code maybe you can make something so that one can move the character by pressing a spot on the map and thus saving the trouble of constantly having to adjust the camera angle in order to click on the ground (one has to do this so often and it is hard to do when the camera angle is such that there is little to no ground in view and one wants to move a few steps forward or back). I know one can use the "w" key but that can get sloppy... Anyway big cheers for your work thanks for sharing it with the NWN community.
