Title: is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera? Post by: faeriehazel on 2006 June 10, 03:16:33 I hate the way the little camera pops up every time the maid/gardenera/mailman/what-have-you visits the house. I dimly recall seeing a hack that stopped the thingy from popping up, but I've forgotten where I saw it and what it was called (I recently formatted my hard drive and stupidly forgot to backup my hack folder). So can anyone help me?

I've looked and can't find it, so I'm suspecting that it is now unsupported. Or I've gone blind, either way. Title: Re: is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera? Post by: MsMaria on 2006 June 10, 03:27:30 I thought there was an option in "Gameplay" that allowed you to turn off that feature? Oh well, maybe not. :-\
Title: Re: is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera? Post by: Ness on 2006 June 10, 03:29:26 You can turn it off in game. But that turns it off for all things - I assumed from the way the question is put that they would like to keep the function for some things just not have it for the service NPCs.

Title: Re: is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera? Post by: MsMaria on 2006 June 10, 03:37:20 Ah. I thought the poster wanted it off all of the time. :)

Post by: akatonbo on 2006 June 10, 03:46:29 I don't know what they want, but there was some discussion of a hack that tweaked it. I keep waffling on whether to turn it off myself; it does sometimes serve as the best warning for situations I'd like to know about, but... the service NPC bit and the occasional random popup that I can't even figure out what it's for are really annoying.
Title: Re: is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera? Post by: MsMaria on 2006 June 10, 04:07:36 I agree. It pops up when the Maid arrives, when she is walking from the house and again when she drives away. What's the point? :-\
Title: Re: is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera? Post by: faeriehazel on 2006 June 10, 04:11:00 Yeah, I think the hack I had before just turned it off for unimportant events, such as the maid/gardener doing their daily rounds. I suppose I could just turn the whole thing off, but then I get paranoid about missing really important stuff. Ah well.

Title: Re: is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera? Post by: Ness on 2006 June 10, 04:54:56 That's what I thought... but it appears to be no more... *sniff*
Title: Re: is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera? Post by: faeriehazel on 2006 June 10, 11:05:07 Yeah, I've searched several times, but apparently it's disappeared. Was it deemed unworthy? :'(

Post by: Meek_Monkey on 2006 June 10, 12:46:48 Yes TJ did the gardener, the maid and the mailman pip fix I am not sure why he removed them If you dont have nightlife u can use the mailman pip fix. I have OFB and the FFS and still use the other two. I think I have them all on my HD some where.
Title: Re: is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera? Post by: witch on 2006 June 10, 12:55:58 They are 2Jeffs hacks. I still have a copy. I'll post them for now and PM 2Jeffs and ask if he objects.
Title: Re: is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera? Post by: Meek_Monkey on 2006 June 10, 12:58:35 I didnt post the because I wasnt sure If TJ would like his work posted by anyone else.
Title: Re: is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera? Post by: witch on 2006 June 10, 13:19:32 I wondered, but I have already PM'd him, I guess he'll let me know pretty quick smart if he doesn't want it here. I thought he might have lost those files when he had the big hard drive crash.
Title: Re: is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera? Post by: twojeffs on 2006 June 10, 13:40:21 Yep, they were one of the casulties of the great hard drive crash and I didn't bother hunting them down to repost. I suppose I could give them a proper home again since they're back.
Title: Re: is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera? Post by: faeriehazel on 2006 June 10, 13:51:32 Thank you very much for posting those, witch. You made my day! :D
