[QUOTE="DornoDios, post: 197080, member: 1718"] In fact I was thinking about this just the other day when using Cheat Engine to change memory values in a different game. It is far beyond my ability level to do so but I wondered if it would be possible for someone to use Cheat Engine to map the values of the camera and then change them. Obviously it is possible and the OP has done it with his own custom program! It seems incredibly unlikely IP holders would have an issue with this when they don't care about the multitude of home made tables that use their Intellectual Property without payment. There are a great number of them for the various other pinball simulators. In addition he can't be sued by the IP holders as he is not violating any of their IP rights. He would have to alter or replace elements of the table to risk the ire of the IP holders. Simply allowing an alternate camera angle that lets you see the IP in question is not illegal. Farsight could possibly cause a stink by claiming that he 'reverse engineered' their code which is/was in violation of the EULA. I don't think that would be a very smart move on their part for a variety of reasons. At the end of the day this is something people have been asking about for a very long time. Whether or not the OP releases this modification the proof of its viability may interest others in a similar project. I can't imagine Farsight giving their blessing to him prior to release unfortunately. Hopefully they prove me wrong and/or it is released anyway. I don't even have a cabinet. I just play on my rotated monitor and I can't stand the lack of camera control. This mod in addition to DX11 would make the next release of TPA really special. Here's to hoping that actually happens!
