Installation
============================================================================
Unzip all contents to any folder you wish.
If the program fails to run then you might need the Visual Basic 6 runtimes
available from Microsoft.
If the Camera Hack causes the game to crash and you are sure the right
version is selected then you need to update your "gta-vc.exe" file to one
that is compatible.
You can try these no-cd EXE's;

============================================================================
Notes
============================================================================
* You may need to Redefine your keys in Vice City to accomodate for the
defaults of camhack
* To restore all defaults, close camhack, then delete 'config.ini' and
'*.cam' files, restart camhack
* Default HotKeys are;
Numpad * = Enable
Numpad / = Disable
Numpad 8 = Move Up
Numpad 2 = Move Down
Numpad 4 = Move Left
Numpad 6 = Move Right
Numpad + = Move Forward
Numpad - = Move Backward
Numpad 1 = Pivot Z Up (used for on-foot/top-down)
Numpad 3 = Pivot Z Down (used for on-foot/top-down)
Numpad 0 = Toggle Mouse Modifier
Numpad . = Switch Modes
Numpad 5 = Reset Position
Key C = View Backward / Change view during replay
Mouse Y = Pitch
Mouse X = Yaw
Mouse Z = Roll (Mouse-Wheel)
Numpad 7 = Toggle Camera Lock
Numpad 9 = Toggle Free-Look Mode
Left Bracket '[' = Increase FOV
Right Bracket ']' = Decrease FOV
(Ignore must be unchecked for FOV Keys)
Equals '=' = Cruise Control
DEL = Save all edited views
END = Restore current view from file
* There are 7 Modes you can choose from;
1. Original Modified - Adjustable version of the default camera
2. Orbit Center - When one changes the camera angle it will always point
at vehicle center
3. Look Around - This is my favorite mode, basically allows any angle at
any point on the vehicle plane
4. Top-Down - Similar to that of the old GTA series. Height offset can be
adjusted with Pivot Z Up/Down
5. Original Modified (ped) - Same as above except it looks at character
coordinates
6. Orbit Center (ped) - Same as above except it looks at character
coordinates
7. Look Around (ped) - Same as above except it looks at character
coordinates and is meant for use on bikes
* To get to the new in car views you must be at a negative view number
(enable show view number)
* Views are randomly generated on Mode 2 if it is not defined.
* Is not compatible with previous config.ini
============================================================================
Usage
============================================================================
1) Run Trainer/Hack
2) Edit options if needed (defaults suggested)
3) Start Vice City then press * (numpad multiply; default) to enable new
cameras
4) You can safely Alt-Tab from Vice City and change settings
at any time
5) You can press / (numpad divide; default) to disable new cameras and
return to defaults
