HP1 Movement and Camera Improvement file - Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone

Overview

This mod gives Harry movement similar to HP2 such as strafing, has a better camera which is easier to move around, Harry can cast more accurately at things and climbing has been improved. You now use your mouse to play quidditch instead of the keyboard and can also skip spell learning by holding down the spacebar at the start of the cutscene.

How to play

To play this mod just replace the retail packages with my edited packages (make sure to backup the retail packages first). You need to create a new game for the mod to work but saving and loading works fine once you have created a new game.

Changelog:

1.2 (08/03/2020)

• Fixed the camera looking up sometimes after a cutscene

1.1 (28/02/2020)

• Fixed Harry floating in the air when casting wingardium and jumping at the same time
• Unlocked camera during the troll fight to make fight easier to beat
• Added a readme

1.0 (20/12/2019)

• First release (took about 3 months to make)

Issues I'm aware of which won't be fixed:

• Camera not focusing on door during troll cutscene (this would require changes to the level which is outside the scope of this mod)
• Potion bottles hard to hit near end of the game (this is due to me improving how casting works overall but editing this would break more important things plus you can still beat this section without too much difficulty)
• Audio stutters (this is an engine problem out of my control)
• Frames speeding up and then lagging (this is also an engine problem but can be fixed by using Direct3D and capping the FPS)

Credits:

• UnWorld (helped me get everything set up at the start of development)
• Andrew Baldwin (tested the mod early in development for bugs and issues)
• Laenthor (tested the mod a few weeks before release for bugs and issues)
