change free camera default turn position?

[sinewav]

I have these settings which allow a nice overview of the grid, great for watching Fortress matches. However, the free cam's initial rotation is away from the action and I must rotate it every round. Is there a way to lock it in place?

Code: Select all

CAMERA_FREE_START_X    0 
CAMERA_FREE_START_Y   150
CAMERA_FREE_START_Z   250
# wanted: CAMERA_FREE_ROTATE_ANGLE 90 :)
# ...and height, and pitch too, haha.

Also, would it be possible to have settings like CAMERA_FREE_X, etc., so the changes are immediate? It would be cool to have a few camera angles to choose from, especially if we start broadcasting again.

nice cam sine, I hope this gets implemented

I think a split screen with a closer view from behind each zone would be better personally, but yeah thats nice (and looks a bit like the common FIFA games camera angle too)

That not. The start position is relative to the cycle you're currently 'watching' (technically, even the free camera does that), any changes to those variables would need to do that, too. However, it MAY be possible to do what sylla suggests using cockpit files, and it MAY be possible to add new commands that change the camera setup no matter what mode it's in.

Implemented. The startup settings may not be all that useful, given that they still take the initially watched cycle into account, but you'll probably like SAVE_CAMERAS and WARP_CAMERA. Apart from the fact that you need to copy the output of SAVE_CAMERAS from the screen.
