Camera does not lock on cycle

Post by Elektro »

Hi, I'm using windows XP (SP2) and I have a problem with the camera not locking my cycle with the newest version. Never had this problem before. It seems like normal, and then when I move my mouse, the camera will slide off the cycle and then after a second it will turn to face it. This is only in versions above 2.8. Any idea how to fix this? I am using smartcam.

What version are you using? 0.2.8.2 or 0.3.0?

If you don't touch the mouse, everything is as before? Then it's a problem with the mouse bindings. Go to "Player setup"/"Player 1"/"Camera input" and adapt the mouse bindings to your liking. Sorry, it's a problem with the hacky way mouse actions are stored, there can be shifts from version to version.

What camera are you using? In settings.cfg there are camera settings to restore the old (good) custom camera behavior — stick those in your autoexec.cfg and try it out.

If you're using the smartcam, you can ignore the settings. Could you post a screenshot of the camera input configuration menu?
