TSO - More Automaton Cameras

Description
Add More Automaton Cameras - Bottom Mounted, Left Mounted and Right Mounted in both Large and Small Grid.

Features:
  • Add Bottom Mounted, Left Mounted and Right Mounted Cameras in Large and Small Grid.
  • Back Offset versions to work with Half Blocks
  • Block Pair with Small Grid
  • Remote Control Group Integration
  • Large and Small Group Integration
  • Block Variant Group with Top Mounted Camera
  • Progression

Why I created this mod:
The vanilla Top Mounted Camera can be rotated to these other positions, but there is a problem.
When rotated the camera view is fixed to the top of the camera.
So when the vanilla Top Mounted camera is rotated to the bottom mounted position and the camera is viewed; the image is upside down.
Likewise rotated to the left or the right the viewed image is on its side.

This mod makes the camera view upright in the Bottom, Left and Right positions as you would expect a forward facing camera.


Note:
Side Mounting name based on facing block to place it on. When viewing through the camera, it is the opposite.

Left Mounted camera when placed is on the Right side of the forward direction.
Right Mounted camera when places is on the Left side of the forward direction.

When viewing the Left Mounted camera, the view will be on the right side of the camera's forward direction.
Just the opposite for the Right Mounted Camera, the view will be on the left side of the camera's forward direction

If you want additional panning of the camera, check out Digi's mod Camera Panning

This is a great mod It is part of my standard mod load-out but I a small request, any chance you can add some rear of the block camera mount points? sometimes I add them to half blocks sides and they look a little funny sitting half way off the block.

Keen should just have a "Rotate view" option in the camera settings, but this is a decent workaround for now!

I can't believe how I have overseen TSOs mods for such a long time... shame on me.

This bottom/left/right mounted cameras gave me childish joy - thank you!

@Muxufli - I did not see this issue, but I have seen something like this before. I re-exported the models from blender with no other changes.
