should be default function for TA camera... some key to rotate, not made by some lua script...

[imbaczek]

actually, it should be the other way around - all cameras should be lua scripts.

what ever they are, they should be enabled for all mods by default

And that makes them better because ...?

[imbaczek]

because 1) mods could override defaults easily, 2) camera code is not a performance bottleneck in any way, so there's really not much point in it being statically compiled into the engine, except for one mode which works as a fallback when there're no lua cameras available.

[Auswaschbar]

1) Regrets widget has shown that it is easily possible
2) because its not performance critical it shouldn't be done in the engine?

[imbaczek]

1) is my answer to 2) - if it's easily possible and doesn't hurt performance, engine would be easier to maintain without that code.

Yeah, with this feature I'd want all the cameras gutted out except for the TA camera (for old mods) and one of the "make pretty screenshots" cameras.

people use this camera still? try using the fps camera or the free camera, much easier to wage war....

[Argh]

I use the TA camara, except for taking screens. Personally, instead of getting rid of all of the hardcoded cameras... I'd rather see them all be 100% consistent, in terms of the basics of working with them. All cameras should obey Lua orders to re-orient or move in exactly the same way, and they don't right now.

+1 to this, I really want to use OTA cam for a widget but I can't because it won't yaw.

I would be a-ok with this as long as the old modes exist in some lua form that we can later modify/ignore.

[imbaczek]

no worries, the cameras aren't going anywhere anytime soon, unless i don't know about something (which may be possible given how much time i spend online lately.)
