[REL] Drone Camera Plugin

Did you update the ini file if you have not a g27 & a xbox360 controller?

 

No, I'm using an xbox 360 controller

 

Did you press the A button to activate the drone commands?

 

yup

 

This looks awesome! Thank you so much!!!! I love when I'm online and just watching others live at all sorts of beautiful vantage points around the track as if I was actually at the track myself and seeing all sorts of differences of driving styles and seeing all sorts of trackside objects and beautiful vantage points that I never knew existed. And I also LOVE far-away cameras (with ability to zoom in) and this plugin is just made for that, thank you so much!!

Question though, other than being able to use a gamepad, what sort of benefits/differences does this have compared to just using the keyboard and mouse to control everything??

 

Smoothiness and more natural control.

 

v1.3 Available

- Add S0 & S1 axis

 

Tried the update, no luck

 

Sorry don't know why it don't, if the dll and the ini is on their correct directories.

 

Now I'm just thinking out loud...

Could you include some sort of position/orientation -export ? This would work pretty nicely as a CAM editor then, for finding all the best spots

 

I don't have any information about position, angle, etc... I just send incremental infomation each frame to move the camera. So it is impossible to mark checkpoint, replay camera movement, etc...

 

Okay, too bad. Was worth a shot

 

v1.4 Available

- Add the possibility to show/hide a crosshair (new ini section -> DroneCamera.ToggleCrosshair)

Example:

Code:

[DroneCamera.ToggleCrosshair]
IsAxis=0
Controller=2
Button=1

 

Great work Gerald it's a great plugin. Just wondering if it's possible to edit swingman cams in rF2, can't seem to work it out? Mainly for slowing them down

 

The problem with swingman is that the camera will be shaken as soon as you go far from the car (angular effect as the camera is considered by the game as attached to the car, so it follow the car movement/shake), there is nothing to do with it unfortunatly.

 

Hi Gerald, I'm trying to use this plugin with the latest build and it keeps crashing back to the launcher. If I take the files back out, all is well again? Worked fine previously, any ideas?

 

I will check it. I had no time yet to install the last builds.

 

not working for me either. Added my control to the ini file. The log shows it's recognized. doesn't seem to do a thing, though.

 

here are my ini and log files, in case I am missing something.

 

Gerald does not seem to be around any more. He wrote some excellent plugins but not been a le to make contact for some time now. really miss his work.
