Don't run for me, hpw use it please ?

Thanks. I'll put your code in when I have time - but it may be a while.

If you would like to make the mod, I put a note on mine suggesting that people use yours instead.

Default key is hold Insert and then move your mouse, Backspace to restore default height and declination. Camera_LoadEditorCamera() does all the work, the rest just makes it seamless. Editor camera resets towards the center of the map that's why I store initial camera settings and position and restore them back so that it looks at HQ, as well as some other settings that differ from default camera.

Thanks. I can see from your code that it supports pan, but I didn't see anything about rotate/orbit.

What key do you use for that?

That's what the function I've posted does, I just decided to share it since your mod has more subs.

@Playgu - Do you know of a way to make the camera rotate/orbit?

I found a solution on line, but it requires a console script running in debug mode.

a few missing lines due to 1000 characters limit:

Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_PanAccelerate, 0.0)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_PanStartSpeedScalar, 1.0)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_PanMaxSpeedScalar, 1.0)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_CameraMode, 2.0)

Here's a custom script to unlock camera, just change DistMax to 300 and call the function somewhere:

function UnlockCamera()
local rot = Camera_GetOrbit()
local dec = Camera_GetDeclination()
local cam_pos = Camera_GetCurrentTargetPos()
Camera_LoadEditorCamera()
Camera_SetOrbit(rot)
Camera_SetDeclination(dec)
Camera_MoveTo(cam_pos)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_SlideTargetRate, 999)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_DistRateMouse, 0.50)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_DistMin, 35)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_DistMax, 75)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_DistGroundMin, 2.00)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_DistMinGround, 2.00)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_DeclBelow, 0.000000)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_PanScaleMouseDefZ, 125)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_PanScaleKeyboardDefZ, 400)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_PanScaleScreenDefZ, 400)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_PanScaleMouseMinZ, 0.02)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_PanScaleKeyboardMinZ, 0.02)
Camera_SetTuningValue(TV_PanScaleScreenMinZ, 0.02)
end

Nothing special. Just subscribe to it and wait for the download, then specify it for the gtame mod when you start a game.
