Mod "Kings Bounty Free Battle Camera" v1.2
 

This isn't really a mod. It is a "trainer". Basically, just run this program and leave the window running while you play the game and it will unlock the camera during battles so that you can rotate all around or zoom further in or out.

You can download the mod at the bottom of this post.

**** IMPORTANT NOTES ****

This program requires .Net Framework 2.0 or later! If you get an error trying to run the program, goto Microsoft's website and download .Net Framework 2.0


This program has only been tested with the game versions listed below. Due to differences in copy protection, it is very unlikely that this program will work with other versions of the game. If you have another version of the game and are a little bit computer savvy, then PM me and I'll send you some instructions on how you can help me get it working for other versions of the game.

Bman - You mod every game you make don't you =)
I know I've seen you on other boards besides UFO.

Anyways, I can confirm it does not work for Atari version. I don't have a tremendous amount of modding experience, but I would be willing to help with a conversion for the Atari version. I may learn something. the extent of my experience is basically memory searches for trainers. I know my way in & out of my computer. Very computer savy, just never messed around alot with mods. If you think you could use my help, consider this my resume. :)

I'm off for work, I'll check in from my iPhone later.

Ok JGary321 hooked me up with the info I needed to add support for the Atari version. I also added support for the new 1.6.5 gamers gate patch.

I don't know if this is relevant, but the trainer works perfectly fine with Russian 1.6.4. Screenshot.

Where can i get the 1.6.5 patch? O.o

If you bought from gamersgate then you can get it from their website "my games" section.

K, thank you.

"There is a playable alpha of a mod that allows your hero to participate in fights directly, sorta like Homm4"

What is this mod exactly, and from where to get it? And would it work with english version of the game?
(Sorry, but somehow i cant write in other topics, i can log in only to this one :S Maybe a problem with my Explorer, so thats why i ask that here)

Maybe we need a sticky thread that lists and links to all the mods...

:) hi, I have downloaded the game from atari and patch 1.65, but free camera is a dream :-x ....I launch your file and when i'm playing see nothing
Help, please !!!! :confused:

um probably doesn't work with Atari 1.65 version without some changes to it. If someone with Atari 1.65 confirms this and wants to volunteer "be my hands" I'll walk them through the steps needed to get me the info I need to make it work.

Hello bman654,

I sent you a PM, cause your mod doesnt work with mulit4 language version from europe.

Would be very happy if you drop me a note.

Thank you.

Only just noticed this, excellent idea. I wonder why the game devs made it locked?

Thanks a lot, this "mod" is great ! :grin: Works like a charm with 1C/Nobilis (french) version here.

Is it possible to do the same thing for the "real-time riding" part of the game ? I hate how the camera angle is bound to the zoom level :oops:

Hi there,

great job - I just experience some probs when clicking left and middle mouse button at once. The game crashes under these circumstances.

You may consider placing this info + your system info + your game version in the Technical corner (technical problems) topic / thread

Doesn't seem to work with v1.7 :( The mod has no effect anymore.

Someone with 1.7 do this for me and I'll update the mod:

Here goes, it's a pleasure to help with such detailed step-by-step instructions :cool:

(Just one thing, you can't check 32-Bit because :
-scan 32-Bit = To 7FFFFFFF automatically set.
-scan To 00A00000 = Memory Scan Options automatically unchecked.
Both return the same results anyway.)

ok thanks. I'll work on this tonight.

Okay I have uploaded v1.2 which *should* add support for the 1.0.7 patch. I have not tested it any so someone please test it and let me know if it works.

Thanks

1.0.7. ? you probably mean 1.7... right?

probably. Does it work with 1.7?

Yes it works !!! Thanks :grin:

Does not work with Atari 1.6.5
 

Hey Bman,

This mod (trainer?) sounds great and I'd really like to get it working.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work with my game, US store-bought Atari PC-DVD, patched to 1.6.5.

I'm running Vista32 home premium.
Please let me know if I can help in any way to get the mod to work with my version of the game! Anything you need from my end, be happy to help.

Thanks!

I also have the Atari version and was using the mod with the initial release and loved it. Now I patched to fix some things like the Mirabella bug and none of the mod versions are compatible anymore.

I got used to the nice free camera and hate having it locked again now, if anyone knows how to get it working for the Atari 1.65 patch that would be great.

I'm guessing not many people have the Atari version?

v1.1 of the mod should work just fine with v1.6.5 of the game. You can always make a custom version if doesn't though, the instructions are probably somewhere in this thread, or if not bman will likely be happy to help you.

Hello, I'm tried to use your mod with Russian King's Bounty 1.7 and it does not work.

What name of process you trying to modify, "kb.exe"?

Any chance of updating this so it will work on Kings Bounty Armored Princess?

yeah I would love this mod for KB AP

New version of Kings Bounty Free Battle Camera work with Princess and Crossworlds

I tried this with KB: Crossworlds: GOTY Edition and it doesn't work. I used this nifty little prg with KBTL years ago with no problem. This is the disc version, I installed the game and started out with Armored Princess. I went to a battle I had previously won (in the initial training center) and no luck. Still get the 45/45~90 degree battlefield. I run the camera prg first, I get the nice green box from years ago telling me to just let it run while I boot AP, but no change when I do. Is it a patch version or something? I'm running vers 1.3.1 Build 6170. What exactly is the correct patch for the GOTY edition? Anyone else have this problem? Without this working, I find the game much less enjoyable. Thanks very much.
