Introduction
Improperly configured camera settings can cause game crashes during opening pans, replays and post-match winning laps. Back up your KMP before you start editing.
Good cameras will make your level look much more professional, but editing them can be difficult to master.

Camera Editing
Cameras can be placed like any normal object. The position only matters when using certain camera settings. Cameras are found in the CAME section of the KMP Editor.
Opening Pans
The first two digits in the first settings box indicate the type of camera. Opening pans have the setting 05. The length of time each camera is displayed is set in z5. Their values will be 220, 257 and 294; this is to synch the camera transitions with the opening music.
On VS races a sequence of cameras is shown. The u8 value at offset 0x06 in the CAME section header is the index of the first camera. The next cameras are linked by the u8 value at offset 0x01. Normally 3 cameras are used, but any number can be used. For testing it is good to link the last opening camera to the first to have an unlimited view. For Wimm's analysis go to Wiimms Opening Pan Analysis.
The last two numbers in the first settings box control the Route used. A value of FF means the camera does not use a route. You can find the Opening Route Sections so:
As example in the pic I used SNES Ghost Valley 2. Take the first CAME with the z5 as 220, here it is CAME ID 11. Take the Route Settings, here it is "0D", or only D.
And now use Hex Calculator:
D+1=E
Now convert it to Decimal:
E=14
Finally: The first Opening Route Section is Route Section 14.
It also works for Object.
Do it with the other two numbers and you have the Opening Routes for your Opening CAMEs.
Now we define the points where the Cameras watch. The Start View Point shows where the Camera watch at the begin and the End View Point at the end of the Camera Intros. x3 and y3 controlls the zoom.
CAME Types
- 00 = Camera immediately after finishing (the one that looks at you)
- 01 = ObjClip: Stays in one position but always points to the player. Used during replays.
- 02 = PathSearch
- 03 = KartFollow
- 04 = KartPathFollow
- 05 = Opening Pans
- 06 = OP_PathMoveAt
- 07 = MiniGame
- 08 = MissionSuccess (left over from MKDS)
this list can be found in /race/course/koopa_course.szs/course.0
See also CAME for the description of Settings and other Values.
AREA
menu AREAtype 7 item Camera 0 item ObjClip 1 item EfControl 2 item FogControl 3 item PullControl 4 item EnemyFall 5 item 2DmapArea 6
The list of the types can be found in the XML file /Race/Course/koopa_course.szs/course.0
AREA with Type Camera 00 are the acctivators for the CAMEs after the race. If you drive in the near of one AREA after the race, it will acctivate the CAME that is written in the Settings (watch at the pics).
