To play your Knights of the Old Republic game, you need a camera to follow the player you’re controlling and move with the player as he/she moves; pretty simple, right? Each module has their own camera placement while you move around and there’s a camera for when you’re in combat. You may notice that the camera is a lot closer to your character when on the Ebon Hawk. With modding, you can change the distance the camera is on you.
Fellow staff member Darth InSidious has returned to the modding scene with a modification that will change the distance angles of the cameras for the game Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. There are Option I; combat and no combat style; and Option II; combat and no combat style. The camera styles are reflections based off of the games NeverWinter Nights, Dungeon Siege, and Diablo.
If there is anybody out there that uses iNutter’s mod that changes the camera styles, they won’t be compatible with this mod since this isn’t .2da file that can add different options to. You just have to choose which one you want to use since you can’t use them all at once. :p
There are four total different types of installation you can choose from; each using the TSL Patcher to install that specific version. Pick which one you want and install. There are screenshots to show you how each one works and then install the one you like best. :) Enjoy the mod! :D
Note: Please leave the author feedback, especially if you download this mod and use it. It really helps encourage the author to make more mods in the future.

NOTE
====
This mod may be used for either KotOR or KotOR II: TSL.
Description
-----------
This mod alters the default camera angles used by the game so that outside dialogues
and cutscenes, your character will be viewed more distantly, as is more common in RPGs
like 'NeverWinter Nights', 'Dungeon Siege' and 'Diablo'.
There are four different options to choose from:
Option I, No Combat - This option gives you a camera angle slightly closer to the
character than normal which will show the upper half of your
character from an angle above the player, but does not affect
the camera angle while in combat.
Option I, Combat - The same as above, but does affect the camera angle while in combat.
Option II, No Combat - The same height, but a greater distance from the character,
showing the whole of the character. This option does not affect
the camera angle while in combat.
Option II, Combat - The same as above, but this option does affect the camera angle while in combat.
Installation
------------
I. Choose which game you would like to install the mod for.
II. Choose which option you want, Option 1 or Option 2. Open the appropriate folder.
III. Choose whether you want to use this option in combat mode or not, and select either
'Combat' or 'No Combat', as appropriate.
IV. Open the executable, which will be named something like "Install Camera Option I, Combat", for example, but without the quotes.
V. Click "Install mod", and follow the on-screen instructions.
VI. Choose the appropriate game folder for the game you chose in step I, for example, C:Program FilesLucasArtsSWKotOR if you were to install this mod for KotOR I.
Uninstallation
--------------
Delete the file 'camerastyle.2da' from your Override folder.
Known Incompatibilities
This mod will conflict with Nutter's Camera Styles mod, since that does exactly the same as this mod.
