(Release) Camera Mod v2 update

[naizarak]

This camera mod is meant to enhance the replay viewer by removing certain view limits and adding a few new features.

Changed stuff V2

Spoiler : :

- Tilt angle relaxed to 89.9 degrees. Camera will go fully vertical in both directions, and everything in between.

- Minimum altitude limit relaxed. Camera can now skim perfectly flat along the ground.

- Clipping limit relaxed. Camera can be placed extremely close to units without clipping through. Allows for nice point-blank shots.

- New hotkey: holding Shift while using the keyboard movement keys will slow down movement for precision control

- New hotkey: F9 will render a screenshot of the game world(no HUD), even if the HUD is enabled

- New hotkey: Shift + F9 will render a screenshot of the game world along with the HUD

- Hotkey: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F9 enables an FPS viewer

Screenshots are saved in Documents/EugenSystems

V2 changes:

- Margin area for mouse movement slightly increased

- Vertical keyboard movement(ctrl + up/down arrows) decreased in speed for precision control

- Camera shake disabled

- Camera rotation tightened to 90 degrees, "pivot" area removed at low altitudes

- Camera will no longer reset the tilt angle when changing altitude

then unfortunately they're not compatible. you'd have to replace one mod with another, currently there's really no way of "stacking" separate mods

having the camera this low to the ground makes scenes more personal, and the closeness to which you can zoom into units make them seem more intimdating. this is a good tool for making unit icon cameos and would have been pretty useful for the trailer contest. I hope eugen adds some functionality to the next game, there really wasn't much to hide other than building interiors without faces and the center of the skybox. If you're still working on this, I recommend that you make CTRL+SHIFT+W or S for fine control of camera altitude if that's at all possible, right now you have to use the unit as a reference to and zoom in and pan out to get a specific camera height, this is hard to do for shots of missiles.
