Im a fan of the starwars movies both original and remastered but I was shocked to find something called "The Starwars Holiday Special" while I was searching for starwars clips http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=323909610753051544 The script and production quality are terrible and the ...

what im actually looking for is a smart cam that rotates around the bike but not getting too close so that it has to look downwards which is a problem because i cannot see what is going on and always get killed I will try the latest 0.3 build also I had a lot of B.S.O.D. problems with the other 0.3 ...

I obviously cannot understand the question even when jonathan tried to explain it.

Hey DarkProject43, you have a very nice system there and it easily beats mine, can you post a picture of your computer I would like to see the beast :D I have a 2nd hand u40si1 laptop which cost me £60, the power input socket was smash because someone had tried to force the wrong dc adapter into it....

Lol I play the original "knot in 3d" spectrum version (emulated), i'll give this new updated version a try

Heres a youtube clip showing the original spectrum game play

The custom cam is good but im not happy with the way it directly snaps to the new view, the smart cam had smoothing which i did like

I might add some damping to the custom cam and see how that looks

I have problems with 0.3x but i'll give it a try

Is that really the question ? I dont interpret it in that way

Nurse, new brain please asap.

Sorry guys... I read the question again and sue rolls 1st, originally I read it as bob rolls 1st some how ?
I have z-man to thank for forcing my eyes to open

so the answer is (5/6) * (5/6) * (5/6) * (1/6) = 125/1296

ie 9.645061728% or there abouts

bob and sue are implied in the question but heres a little more detail bob takes his first throw and has a 5 in 6 chance of not hitting a 6 sue takes her first throw and has a 5 in 6 chance of not hitting a 6 bob takes his second throw and has a 1 in 6 chance of hitting a 6 so the odds that bob will...

Then surely the other answer is wrong

Congratulations

So I was correct then, finally i get something right

Yeah I think im starting to realise whats going on, bike moves under the camera which keeps its focas on the bike so it has to look down to keep the bike in view

I will have to make the camera rotate around the bike but first I will try what you suggested with the min distance etc

Thanks

You can't stop it, that's what it does. But by increasing camera_smart_min_distance or camera_smart_height, you can avoid losing too much overview when it does it. But note that those settings are undocumented for a reason: the smart camera is a fragile beast and fiddling with them easily breaks st...

Is that correct ? please explain why
