is there a hack that stops the annoying service npc pop-up camera?
« on: 2006 June 10, 03:16:33 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

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?

Twojeffs did have one.

I've looked and can't find it, so I'm suspecting that it is now unsupported.  Or I've gone blind, either way.

I thought there was an option in "Gameplay" that allowed you to turn off that feature? Oh well, maybe not. Undecided

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.

It is indeed called picture-in-picture, and in-game all you can do is turn it on and off, not adjust what triggers it.

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.

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? Undecided

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.

Didn't Jeffy have something that did that?

Yeah, I've searched several times, but apparently it's disappeared. Was it deemed unworthy?  Cry

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.

They are 2Jeffs hacks. I still have a copy. I'll post them for now and PM 2Jeffs and ask if he objects.

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.

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.
