Free Camera Configuration

[dundivin]

Hi, 

 

I have been experimenting with the Free Camera Mod and looked at the Freecam XML file as explained by Theo in a much earlier post.  I have translated the keys into a Notepad file to use as a reference:  

 

Left Shift and F3        Activate
1-0                 Flying camera speed 
W,A,S,D             Move the camera, mouse to look around
Q, E                 Control camera altitude 
X                 Lock camera above ground level
P                 Stabilizer, smooth cam 
Insert & Delete         Zoom In and Out 
V                 Disable HUD
B                 Locks camera back to your tank again.
C                 Lock camera to a point 360 degree circular
I                 Increase Linear Velocity
K                Decrease Linear Velocity
Z                Revert Linear Velocity to Standard
' (apostrophe)            Show Gun Marker

Numpad 4             Rotate Left
Numpad 6            Rotate Right
Numpad 8            Rotate Up        
Numpad 5            Rotate Down
Numpad 3            Rotate Clockwise
Numpad 2            Rotate Anti Clockwise

O                Increase Angular Velocity
L                Decrease Angular Velocity
R                Reset Angular Velocity to Base 
Insert                Zoom In
Delete                Zoom Out
Keypad Plus            Zoom Velocity Increase
Keypad Minus            Zoom Velocity Decrease
F                Set Default Field Of View
Numpad 7            Increase Target Radius
Numpad 1            Decrease Target Radius

 

I have had a run through with a replay and all the keys seem fine with the exceptions some conflicts/issues.

 

The initialisation of the free camera seems a bit hit and miss.  I am aware you have to wait until post countdown, but Shift and F3 doesn't always unlink the camera to the vehicle.  On occasion if you persevere and just keep hitting F3  it will activate.  

 

The key to bind the camera back to the tank is "B", unfortunately this is used in another mod for Arty Sight showing the damage sphere, so does not work in the free camera mod as required.  I also use the " ' " Apostrophe key for another purpose due to setting up of controls for other mods.

 

I assume it will be possible to map the keys to another key on the keyboard, which will mean keeping a copy of the Freecam XML file with those bindings and when the Aslain Modpack is updates, just replacing the XML file with your specific bindings?

 

Camera mod is great.  I use GEForce to record and then Filmora to edit the MP4 and add voiceovers titles and such.  Just getting familiar with Filmora at the moment but should be able to generate some good output. 

 

If I wanted to change the Initialisation for example which is currently <toggleKeys> KEY_LSHIFT KEY_F3 </toggleKeys> to say F11. is it as simple as editing the XML file to read 

<toggleKeys> KEY_F11 </toggleKeys> ?

 

Thanks

I had a go anyway, and changed the Toggle to F11.  It was still a little hit and miss, but after pressing it a few times I managed to get into free camera mode.  So I thought, OK, that works.  I then changed the bind from "B" to "F12" to set the cameras back to the tank.  Started the replay again, but for some reason the key for toggling had reverted back to F3 again and F123 had no effect.  I suspected the XML may have saved somewhere else other than the configs folder, but when I checked it, the bindings were showing as F11 and F12.  More investigation required!
