I really like the new camera. But it is not centered correctly :
When I press ctrl-c , it's not center on the commander, but a bit higher.

A little pic to show how the camera is centered on the commander.

Code: Select all


             *
            /  
           /   
          /  x
        --------
x= commander
*= camera pos
/ = direction of sight

It cause problem too when you want to look the lower border of the map.

Agree.
The scroll speed is a bit slow too, even using shift.

is there a way to define the camara modes switch cicle?

(to go ta, rotatable only :) , or maybe rotatable, fps, as it has faster scroll).

I'd like something with the controls of populous, I tried making it but I havent seen it integrated, compiled and tested yet. Till then the rotatable voerhead camera is the nearest I got.

Also this camera should start out at 45* angle anyways, when in globalAI script and you switch to it you have to rotate again.
