Additional Camera Stuff
a mod about camera, worldview, minimap and similar stuff


current version: 3.2
downloadable in the FAF vault (press the search button)

the mod adds hotkeys to save camera positions (up to 5 by default) and return to them,
also it adds them visibly in the UI on the right side of the screen (you can click those to jump to their positions aswell)
there is a hotkey to jump back to the position you came from, so you can zoom around, jump to a position, and then instantly return to where you've been before


UI integration


hotkeys

not like i'd really use such hotkey combinations, that was testing


feel free to make changes or additions, use github for that: https://github.com/Bra1nwash3d/additionalCameraStuff

Uploaded Additional Camera Stuff V2 to the vault, press the server search button to find it

changes:
- option to disable zoom for the minimap
- option to enforce a certain zoom level when saving a camera position
- ingame preferences (thanks to Anihilnine who improved my notifications prefs UI)


button on the minimap: enable/disable minimap zoom without going through the prefs
button on the right side: opens the ingame prefs
using the zoom slider will also change your camera height, so you don't have to guess distances

i think i would use it if it was like this:
- first button saves camera position and zooms all the way out.
- second buttons cycles backwards through saved camera positions

Uploaded Additional Camera Stuff V3 to the vault, press the server search button to find it

edit:
Additional Camera Stuff V3.1 V3 is also in the vault now, the range rings are only displayed while pressing shift now

changes:
- some improvements that you won't care about, prettier code <3
- changed the button on the minimap so it also opens the prefs, instead of just enabling/disabling the minimap zoom
- added an option to preview the buildrange of a single selected unit at the mouse cursor

unfortunally, the cursor is not visible in the screenshots x:



someone asked me to make a mod for this a while ago, can't remember who asked though

- option to disable zoom for the minimap

this is awesome!

one suggestion, could this option all so lock size and possition of minimap? sometime on maps like water of issis I just accidentally change size or move with minimap, very annoying

[nine2]

took me quite a while to work out what the build range was about but that's fantastic.

I WANT THAT FOR ATTACK RANGE (for arty/mml etc)
