Just got the camera to work from alpha labs 2 but it is not great.
It will need a custom gui and a little more work I only got it to work a short time ago so I have not had a chance to do much myself plus I don’t understand all this stuff as yet but as it will work I wanted to share it so someone maybe like foyleman hint hint could make a quick Tutorial on the best way to set it up.

Best of luck with this thank you to any one that can make a tutorial on the best way to use this.

camera_test

Holy crap.





Awesome.

Sorry it is not that great at the moment I had to shutdown last night so I wanted to upload what I had so far just to give people a start point will try to look at it a bit more tonight.
But I am very new to guis and all that so have to see if we can get it to work better between us all.

Yeah I spent an age looking at the alpha labs 2 map trying to work out how to make my own working camera but I decided it looked 2 confusing so I gave up.

This is great and ive already spent a time trying to work out ways in which to tweak it.

Ill post back if I find anything interesting

Small update I have got the security scanner to work with 6 cameras I just don’t have a clue how to change the names on them.
I have looked in all the pk4 folders to try and find the gui or texture or script with no luck as yet on how to change them can someone give me some basic info on how to do this please.
Can you keep it basic as I have no scripting skills 20+ years in sheet metal never had much reason to learn that stuff now most games are going that way I will have to play catch up.
These are the names I want to change and here is the updated map
cam_test1 map

I belive the gui_parm 1,2,3,4,5 ect. is what you change in the entity menu. Im pretty sure that is what changes whats on the screen of the gui.

Thanks for your help crush but I had no luck with that what I did was I found the camselect gui made a copy then give it a new name like cam_test in there I found these lines

windowDef Text1 {
rect 160, 27, 500, 70
text "#str_00254"
textscale 0.81
forecolor 0.7, 0.58, 0.4, 1
}

As you can see the text don’t say much just "#str_00254" that is why I did not see it before then I changed it to say cam1 and that worked and so on for all six.
Anyway here is the final cam_test from me now I got it to show up as I wanted hope this helps some of you that want cameras in your maps best of luck.
cam_test3

Great job swampy! Looks good. I might actually put somthing like that in my mp map

This may help (or you may already know...)

Try typing "editguis" at the console in Doom3, then opening your GUI file. It's kinda a WYSIWYG editor that's built into the game.

Cheers,
