Guild Wars 2 Camera Tool

[zorranco]

Whe are in deep need for the tool xD

Let's hope M & M is still playing GW2

[Toothless Spoon]

I wish M was still alive so he could update this tool :/

[-M-]

Hey sorry for the hiatus. Tool's ready and should survive patches this time. Check first post for 0.9

[Toothless Spoon]

Thanks friend!

Np mate, Updated to 1.0, added option to enable/disable camera clipping.

[Toothless Spoon]

Ok, just gave it a test run and everything is working well againg - one thing I would ask though, is it at all possible to look into the camera padding - I still get bad padding issues and Hayden's fix no longer works - as he hasn't updated for a while

[-M-]

Maybe could you explain padding to me and link to the old fix? I may be able to see what was done and apply it to the latest build

[Toothless Spoon]

Padding is where the camera hits something in the environment and zooms in really close to the character. So what can happen is while moving the camera around your character and there are a few things in the environment like trees/buildings etc the camera would hit these items and zoom in and then zoom out quickly. Hayden the creator of Flawless Widescreen (https://www.flawlesswidescreen.org/inde ... Widescreen) created an initial fix. I'm not sure how to access his code, but maybe you can get in touch with him.

I can read the lua file for gw2 in flawless widescreen but I'm not used to the syntax so I'll need a bit to process it, from what I can tell one of the Pattern Scans is broken so I could at the very least try to repair that, I'll try see what he's done and implement it into the tool though.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know what the new default FOV is?, I need to update the default in the tool

Edit: Updated to 1.1 with Padding fix, different method to Flawless widescreen but the result should work all the same.

Thanks again for updating your tool, I'll throw some money your way once I get paid this week. As for the padding addition, I can't say it really works. I've tried it against numerous objects and the camera is still erratic. The camera clipping actually works better then the padding, but obviously not the ideal solution.

[-M-]

Hmm okay, I'll attach the fixed script for Flawless widescreen, I can't tell the difference, maybe there are more padding changes in the client since, I've also updated the tool to allow negative values for the padding mod which may achieve the desired effect.

Script goes in flawless directory \PluginCache\FWS_Plugins\Modules\GuildWars2\Dependencies\Scripts

M, I appreciate your work, and this new version is fantastic!

Though, I've noticed, when using no-camera-collisions, sometimes if I fall too far, I'll pass right through the ground and out of the map! It's strange, it seems to cause player no-collision sometimes, too. Just alerting you!

Hey with the new padding option if you set it to -10 it will have the same effect, I'll probably remove the clipping option or just have it set padding to -10.

I'll test it out now and report back.

[Toothless Spoon]

M, I honestly can't see the difference - to me it doesn't appear to have any impact or doesn't work at all.

EDIT: Sorry I was wrong, yeah that works - like you said, similar to the clipping. But its better then zooming in an out like crazy.

[Zok]

Flawless Widescreen isn't working at all right now

Afaik the official FOV after the FOV patch is 75.

Btw, is there a way to rebind the keys? i use Insert, Delete and END often in the game, it would be nice to have the possibility to change the keybind.

Hey M. Fantastic tool and thanks so much for your amazing work!

Is there a parameter in GW2's code that would allow you to adjust the in-game camera's height by any chance? I general find the axle or center point of the camera to be quite low, making it kinda difficult to comfortably see ahead or above one's character. In GW2, it looks like the axel lines up with your character's waist, instead of their head (or above). Any way to change this?

It would be great if one could adjust the vertical offset (similar to the way GW2's in-game options already allows you to adjust the horizontal offset/camera placement).

Yeah that would be awesome if there was an option, I've only seen a few games that have allowed it, and it makes a huge difference.

Thanks for updating and guiding important functional tools of cameras. Some tools and their features were new for me and now I have knowledge to check in detail.
