WIP - Beta Released Drift camera mode

[Miner34]

This script is a custom camera mode that follows the vehicle's movement rather than it's actual rotation like the normal one.
This makes it work pretty well for drifting.
This is a video i made for an update on the project some time ago:

Update: Drift camera mod gets playable!

Now there is a little settings gui to change camera distance, height and smoothing.

from further testing, i found out that incase you hit the camera button with the script, clicking U and then clicking c again, then clicking c Again, can fix the problem with the camera

I migrated the code repo to Codeberg, my other mods will follow shortly.

Apparently an update fixed the bug, now i can finally make a settings GUI that pops up when you press a button for this.
What key should i use?
Edit: Nevermind, the bug is still there but only partially. This just means i will have to use a fixed key and not a configurable one.
Edit2: Nope, the bug is gone, it was just my editor not saving for some reason.

A version with settings gui is available to test here: https://codeberg.org/Miner34/RoR-driftcam/src/branch/settings-gui

I merged the branch on Codeberg and the zip here on the forums has been updated.

I'm trying to get it to also follow vertical rotation now, but my attempt was extremely buggy. I will probably create a third branch to do a second attempt later.

Branch using the new gadget mod type: https://codeberg.org/Miner34/RoR-driftcam/src/branch/gadget. Tell me if there are any problems with it.

codeberg link doesn't work

 

[Miner34]

Ah right, i merged it with the main branch after a bit of testing.

Looks like we got some new APIs to play with

 

[Miner34]

Nevermind, it's only for cinecams (which are interior cameras) and can't be used to force to the external camera. Not useful for Driftcam.

 

[devel]

I'm assuming it would be impossible to add/move a cinecam and use that one?

Yup. And it would be a useless complication anyway.
