[1.0.5] Camera Tools v1.5.1 (+dogfight mode, autozoom margin slider) - March 28

[just_deko]

BahamutoD, is the 0.25 version buggy or is there a compatibility problem with kerbcam? I'm using both and when I start Camera Tools its shaking as hell etc. Or is the problem my pc?

[One-Way Films]

hey, me again from a few posts up. I had an awesome Idea for an addition to the "camera toolbox". When the camera locks onto a vessel and follows it in surface, initial velocity or orbital mode, when the vessel moves past the camera could delay and gets a shot like this;

(the shot in mind is at 5:52)

This would allow awesome shots to be, well, shot, in a shorter period of time. This can be done in Kerbcam as well, but it takes longer to do. It's only a suggestion. You're the developer. It's up to you. Thanks.

Are there any errors in the debug log? Is it consistent?

That seems doable. I'll give it a shot.

While you're taking suggestions, is there a possibility that you could release a standalone mod that features nothing but an FOV/Zoom slider that doesn't require activation like the Camera Tools mod does. I ask because it would allow for me to film kerbcam shots while still being able to use the amazing zoom feature (at the moment it's impossible to run a kerbcam path while CT is activated).

[BahamutoD]

I should be able to just let you zoom in without activating the stationary camera. No need for a separate mod.

[DuoDex]

This mod is really awesome!

I found some sort of incompatibility with this mod: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/69363-0-24-2-Time-Control-9-9-14-v13-1-(NO-MORE-EXPLOSIONS-more-warp-rates)

When you have both, the camera stays relative to your ship, and you are not able to do a flyby.

If someone managed to use both together please tell how.

Confirmed here. Logfile on request.

[Smorfty]

Can confirm that the mod works terribly with TimeControl.

Celestial bodies flicker and jitter around and the camera velocity stays locked to the craft's no matter what you do.

The moment I remove TimeControl, everything works fine.

Try disabling "Cam zoom fix" in TimeControl settings. I just peeked at the TimeControl source code and that jumped out as something that might be interfering. Please let me know how it goes.

[m1sz]

I have the same problem, will test that solution right now!

[m1sz]

the solution worked. both mods seem to be working fine now!, didn't do a complete test of the time control mod. On the other hand, camera tools seems to have all it's functionalities

[Halban]

I'm having a lot of fun with 1.1, the first shot of this is a pretty good example of what is possible now that kerbcam and camera tools can work in tandem.

Update

v1.2

- Added Orbit frame of reference

- Fixed issues with setting camera offset to vertically launching vehicles

Notes:

Orbit mode

- The same as surface mode, but relative motion is based on orbital velocity. For example, at geostationary orbit, a vessel will be stationary in surface mode, but will fly past the camera in orbit mode.

[Locob]

Nice mod! It almost does what I wish it would do

a few of request/suggestions:

Could you add the vessel itself as a frame of reference? or it center of gravity.

The mouse camera controls change when you go start the camera mode. Could you make an option to make the mouse control as it is by default in the game?

With two things I would be able to play the game almost as it comes, but it would be able to target a vehicle part, instead the center of the craft. This is what hoping to do.

And again: really cool all the mods you do!

[Wavechaser]

Erm, are there any alternate download sources? Sometimes KerbalStuff isn't that reliable...

[coolwithpie]

Any word on .90 compatibility?

[Halban]

Any word on .90 compatibility?

Doesn't work in 0.90 as far as I'm concerned. I've tested on the surface and in orbit and it works in neither scenario :/

[Corovaneer]

Works for me in 0.90.

[allmhuran]

It works in 0.90, although I do not see how to save a camera position. Ie, I can't set up a shot in advance and then activate it, the camera position resets whenever I activate it.

[Sarayakat]

Working as advertised for me so far in both auto and manual camera positioning.

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

I have to give this a shot

[Wavechaser]

What happened to it? Does it suppose to not work in 0.90?

[Darren9]

Seems to work normally for me, I've not tried it in space yet but in Kerbins atmosphere it appears all good.

[Greymangames]

you going to update?

[Giuliano]

good job BahamautoD.
