Is it possibe to center the camera behind Niko and in the car center the camera behind the car, not Niko, using a lua-script?!

It should be. If you know any programming languages, you can use those to develop such a program, or can stick to making an Alice script. Best of luck!

I don't know about doing it with a LUA script, but you can change the camera's position through the vehOff.csv file. Here's a mod that uses this method that you can check out and mess around with: http://www.gtagaming.com/downloads/gta-iv/misc-mods/1834

Thx. I tried fiddling with the vehOff.csv. It's not what I wanted.

Thx. I already have alice. I need, at least, the code for the camera settings. I am no scripter, so I have only little knowledge what to do.

I fully agree that there needs to be a classic camera mod for GTA IV.
I'm no programmer either, so I can only wait until someone is generous enough to make one.
Does anyone know if the author of Camera Hack is intending on releasing a version for IV?
I haven't yet purchased the PC version, but on xbox I found that I was constantly correcting the camera with the stick, and that gets very annoying. I'd love to hear news that someone is working on a fix for this. I'm surprised it's not a bigger issue, really...

It can be done via the .net scripthook that's released by HazardX. It allows changing the main camera's position, FOV, heading, plus some others. This also means it can be done via lua or C++ as well, but it's much easier with the .net scripthook.

I was thinking of making a camera mod to use the different camera angles they have in the video editor, but ingame. Haven't started it or anything, just thought about it.

You'd be suprised what google can show with some simple key words... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=net+scripthook :D

But I should tell you, it does require some scripting/coding knowledge to make it happen.
