Sweeeeeeeet. This'll be fun.

 

[Kaysakado]

Already done by me. But yours looks better anyway.

 

[on Edge]

Yes and no. You did make an overhead script, but it was designed for Ogl. This script is designed for software to make you feel like you're playing one of those funky top-down games.

How do I put this into the data?

Copy/Paste this script into your autoexec for a new camera angle.

Which file is that? I'm such a noob with this stuff. I don't see a file named autoexec...

 

[Princess Plushima]

That's because it dosen't come with SRB2, you have to make it yourself.

 

[TJ]

How do I make autoexec.cfg then... Please tell me I feel... noobish right now.

 

[Blizzard T.]

Create a new text file and rename it autoexec.cfg.

 

[TJ]

It worked. Thank you very much.

Dowload mine if it's so hard. Here.

Edit it with notepad.

2 problems with this...

Camera glitch that takes effect after you die.

No glitch but a small obstacle... I can't see what is happening under water.

 

[Segmint]

If you die, then it doesn't matter, since you're going to respawn anyway, and that type of water is opaque, meaning you cannot look through it (through the top).

The point of the first pic is to show that I can't see Sonic. It also bugged out when I jumped from a ledge shortly after the screenshot was taken.

The camera bugs if it doesn't have a height of 300 to move around in.
