Author: Deighvyd

===========
Description
===========

Available now for both Titan Quest "and" Immortal Throne, comes a
full-featured mod collection that adds flexibility to an otherwise static camera.



- The choice of 2 different distance mods (Isometric or Top Down).
- Increased zoom range both in and out (no more attacks from off screen).
- 360 degree camera rotation (configurable hotkeys for rotate left, right and camera reset).
- The choice of using the Distance Mod or the Rotation Mod by themselves or together.
- Extremely low horizon views from previous versions have been removed in the interest of
 improved performance and increased functionality.
- Version 3.x expands the mods functionality by introducing "jdoe407's" incredible Rotation Mod.



============
Requirements
============

- "Titan Quest - Immortal Throne" version 1.10



==================
Contents (6 files)
==================

1) database_ISOMETRIC.arz
2) database_TOPDOWN.arz
3) README_IT_Camera_Mod_Collection_v3.2.txt
4) README_IT_Rotate_Mod_v1.33.txt

==========================================
Installation instructions for Distance Mod
==========================================

1) Unzip the .arz files to "C:\games\THQ\Titan Quest Immortal Throne\Database\"
 *(while your installation directory may differ, the "Database" directory will still
 be a sub-directory of Immortal Throne, where ever you may have installed it)

*******
******* (after this step, be sure to make a backup of the original "database.arz" file
******* just in case anything should go wrong)
*******

2) Delete the original "database.arz" and rename either "database_ISOMETRIC.arz" or
 "database_TOPDOWN.arz" to "database.arz".

3) That's it. Now go play Immortal Throne to see the changes.



==========================================
Installation instructions for Rotation Mod
==========================================

****** See README_IT_Rotate_Mod_v1.33.txt



=====
Notes
=====

- Setting a higher maximum zoom distance can result in "mob" placement holders being visible
 prior to the engine loading the meshes when viewing on widescreen monitors.
- Setting a lower pitch angle can result in "mob" placement holders being visible and can
 also add significant stuttering while zooming.
- Zooming all the way in can still cause minor stuttering if to much terrain or to many 
 objects/mobs are visible.



===================
Version 3.2 Changes
===================

Bug Fixes
_________

- Artifact Formulas, Artifacts, Scrolls, Rings and Amulets display all stats with colored text again.
- Relic and Charm removal now costs gold again (...sorry).



===================
Version 3.1 Changes
===================

- Rotate Mod updated to v1.33.
 *(Fixed: If Immortal Throne game takes to long to load, the Rotate Mod may fail to initialize).
- If Rotate Mod initialization still fails on lower end systems, please see README_IT_Rotate_Mod.txt
 for new .ini entires that allow the user to increase mod loading delay time.



===================
Version 3.0 Changes
===================

- Added "jdoe407"s Camera Rotation Mod.
- All files renamed to provide improved alphabetical directory sorting.
- .arz files renamed to better reflect what each database does.
 *(ISOMETRIC was LowView, TOPDOWN was HighView)
- Separated tutorial/explanation from the README to its own .txt file.
- README spelling fixes.
- Camera changes made to database_ISOMETRIC.arz.
- Both databases now have the same "Max Zoom In" and "Default" settings.
 *(this makes the 2 distance mods all about zooming out and providing the
 user with a choice of 2 zoomed out styles, regular and top down.)



database_ISOMETRIC.arz
____________________

- Changed Max Zoom In settings to be the same as database_TOPDOWN.arz.
 *(I would prefer to see both databases be more resource friendly and
 always felt that the low horizon was more of a gimmick than something
 that enhanced actual game play. Zooming in now should not result in 
 excessive stuttering and simply allows you to see your character up
 close.)
- Changed Camera Default Settings to be the same as database_TOPDOWN.arz.
 *(again in the interest of removing stuttering.)
