This mod attempts to improve the third person camera perspective to make shooting, sneaking around, interacting with objects and people etc much more intuitive and less intrusive while still keeping to the vanilla Fallout New Vegas over the shoulder camera design. This mod does not center the third person camera like 'Centered 3rd Person Camera' does. This mod also allows the zooming out of the camera further then before so you can take better screenshots of your game. Changes have been made to extend the third person aim range much further to make combat in third person mode overall much more manageable. Now you will be able to hit far away enemies in third person mod just as you can in first person without always missing.
This mod includes two esp files Improved Third Person Camera - Raised.esp and Improved Third Person Camera - Unraised.esp. The Raised esp file increases the chase and vanity zooming out ranges while the unraised esp file doesn't allow the chase and vanity camera to zoom out that far. In this sense it is more like the vanilla Fallout New Vegas camera with the zooming locked. I made this option because while most people like the ability to pan the camera out more, I prefer it to be more fixed and so I included an option for both.
The settings I have changed for the Improved Third Person Camera - Raised esp are...
fOverShoulderPosZ = 20.000000
fOverShoulderPosX = 40.000000
fOverShoulderFOV = 90.000000
fVanityModeWheelMax = 1000.000000
fChaseCameraMax = 1000.000000
fAutoAimMaxDistance = 8000.000000
fAutoAimMaxDegrees3rdPerson = 40.000000
The settings I have changed for the Improved Third Person Camera - Unraised.esp are...
fOverShoulderPosZ = 20.000000
fOverShoulderPosX = 40.000000
fOverShoulderFOV = 90.000000
fVanityModeWheelMax = 350.000000
fChaseCameraMax = 190.000000
fAutoAimMaxDistance = 8000.000000
fAutoAimMaxDegrees3rdPerson = 40.000000

It has come to my attention that you can install this mod without the esp if you create an ini file for Stewies Tweaks and copy and paste all the settings from the read me or description in NVSE/Plugins/Tweaks/Game Settings. Note that this method will require the latest version of New Vegas Script Extender to work. Thanks to the person who mentioned this to me, it is greatly appreciated.
