unrestricted Camera Problem

[Catholic Alcoholic]

If I got the debug camera in Napoleon Total War, I cant use the minimap to teleport myself , because if I do it , I appear 20 meters under the normal ground.
Please help

I have the exact same problem. I have searched the internet for an hour, but I have not found the solution to this problem. I see this message is old and was never answered. At least I know that one other person in the world had his problem once. Please, if any one can tell me the answer I would greatly appreciate it. This makes the unrestricted camera - which is a great asset - into a horrible liability. Every time I click on the mini-map I go underground, and I am thrown out of the battle and it takes me a few seconds to raise the camera back up to a functioning level. So, basically I can NOT teleport to any area on the battle field when I need to . This greatly slows down my reaction time. Okay, enough complaining. It must be an easy fix. Is it my OS (Windows 7). Is it my in-game camera settings? Please advise. Thanks.

So, I have bad news for you, this problem is standard behavour of the debug cam, it is the same in all titles. The problem is that the camera doesn't get blocked at a specific height and this results into the camera teleporting under the surface.
For me personally, it isnt that bad as I don't use the minimap that often.
However there is kind of a solution, if you want I can make a camera mod, which will allow you to much more zoom in and out while not breaking the minimap, but it won't allow you to move the camera inside buildings/ships.

Hey, Lord Chatalot. Thanks a bunch. At least now know that I am not crazy. Why is this not talked about any? Curious. Yes, please I will give your camera mod a try. You say you do not use the mini map. So, tell me this: when you want to get to a specific spot on the battle fieldI supoose you just fly over there with the camera? I have been doing this. It is not instantanious like clicking on the mini map is. But, I suppose I could get use to it after awhile.

Yeah, just flying over. Takes some time, but you get used to it.

Using Shift while flying over the campaign map, gives you a bit more boost. So it could help your response time a bit. I've been looking in the files, and i found "movement speed 100" Perhaps if you set it to like 125, or 150. You will move alot faster. And shorten your response time even more? Haven't tried it myself. And i'm not advising you to do it either. But it seems obvious to me that if you wanna move faster. Then that's the one to change surely?
