camera.ini

[creekmonkey]

OK I done something really stupid! I accidentally saved character.ini as camera.ini, and now have no camera.ini file. Can someone post the content of their camera.ini file?

Thanks Bernie!
<EDIT>
Well, it seems Ive done something else wrong. I copied your camera.ini into mine but I still have a black screen when compiled. I am at a loss here. I have several months of work invested and really dont want to start over. I also tried downloading the latest version of rfeditpro from the rf website, but my game made with previous version makes the new version crash. IM desperate !

I would suggest saving your custom levels, art, models, scripts etc. off to the side, uninstall RF, then reinstall the version your were using, then put your custom stuff back in the appropriate folders.

Doesn't the latest RFEditPro have an option to bring in an old file and convert it? I'll have to look in the morning, as I'm not sure.

I should have posted an update to this thread. I had to backup all necessary files (scripts, actors exct.) completly uninstall and delete all rf files, then fresh install and move all my files back into rf. Probably the long way around and possibly un-necessary. But it was the only way I could find to solve the problem.

Sounds familiar! Glad you got it working. That is the most important thing.
