Inverted camera fix: look here!

Fix for inverted thumbstick camera controls:

BeamNG.drive\alpha_prerace\scripts\client\inputmaps\

Code:

moveMap.bind(%device, thumbrx, "[SIZE=5][B]ID[/B][/SIZE]", $gp_deadzone, gamepadYaw);
moveMap.bind(%device, thumbry, "[SIZE=5][B]ID[/B][/SIZE]", $gp_deadzone, gamepadPitch);

"I" next to "D" was the inverse command

Fix for inverted keyboard camera controls:

BeamNG.drive\alpha_prerace\scripts\client\inputmaps\keyboard.inputmap:

Code:

%mm.bindCmd(keyboard, numpad8, "np_y[SIZE=5][SIZE=2]([/SIZE][B]-1[/B][/SIZE]);", "np_y(0);");
%mm.bindCmd(keyboard, numpad2, "np_y([SIZE=5][B]1[/B][/SIZE]);", "np_y([SIZE=2]0[/SIZE]);");

Now you don't have to wait for updated controls in a new patch. Note: The mouse camera controls do not need to be re-inverted because inverted controls for clicking and "dragging" the view around is ideal.

Increase thumbstick camera control speed:

C:\BeamNG Drive\BeamNG.drive\alpha_prerace\scripts\client\default.bind.cs

Code:

function getGamepadAdjustAmount(%val){
   // based on a default camera FOV of 90'
   return(%val * ($cameraFov / 90) * 0.01) * [SIZE=5][B]30.0[/B][/SIZE];
}

Change the number in bold to whatever you want, "30.0" is an ideal value for responsive controls.

Next up is removing the camera smoothing, I need help for this one.

Look in:

BeamNG.drive\alpha_prerace\lua
BeamNG.drive\alpha_prerace\scripts

I know the code is buried in there somewhere.

 

Huh.....wonder if this will work for the stock mouse cam. Will investigate. Thank you.

 

Thank god, i hate the inverted controls.

 

FIGURED OUT THE KEYBOARD TOO!!!!!

in scripts/client/inputmaps/keyboard.inputmap:

About halfway down, you will see the bind functions for numpad keys:

you will see numpad 8 and numpad 2...one had -1 and the other has 1...just swap the - sign and you are good to go!!! no more annoying camera movement!!!

%mm.bindCmd(keyboard, numpad8, "np_y(-1);", "np_y(0);");
%mm.bindCmd(keyboard, numpad2, "np_y(1);", "np_y(0);");

(^ this is already swapped and done, I just copied my "fixed" map. easier to just swap the "minus" symbol yourself than to copy-paste)

and about the mouse inversion as well...to me, THAT feels natural, as you click and drag the mouse up, its like you are moving the camera upwards, so it gets higher behind the car as it is focused on the car....like a pivot. with the buttons, I press "up (or 8)" and want to look up, and with Inverted camera, it basically would focus opposite of what I think feels natural. same with how GTA did their camera movement, which IMO is the most exceptional camera in any game I have played to date.

 

LOL!!!

 

too easy I know lolol

- - - Updated - - -

I am spreading the word so everyone can stop complaining about the camera so we can focus on more importnant things lol like playing comfortably lmao

 

No, seeing GIANT red text as I scrolled down was hilarious.

/excite

 

oh haha well I figured seeing all your helpful fixing's would overshadow any other post in the thread at a quick glance lol

 

I will add that to the first post.

 

and I will tone down the red bits a few notches lol...I do see that you moved a zero...I tried that and its making my camera move all crazy, im pretty sure the -1 / 1 switch is all you need

 

Now the camera controls actually match... before up/down was inverted relative to left/right. You're actually re-inverting the up/down motion.

 

Right, but we were used to it. Also, you could invert the left-right too.

 

well whatever, the camera fix is back to how it was right before the update. for some reason they inverted it, and I noticed a ton of people complaining about it. I know I was lol

 

I have given up trying to find the code that controls camera smoothing...

Someone help!

 

well, I know that if you go into F11 world editor, there are camera speed settings on a slider, and then in the camera tab on the top menu bar, there (IIRC) is smoothing options and the like...check that out. it wont be hard-coded into the game, but I believe there is an option for that.

 

That is only for world camera in editor and not for player camera in the editor or game. Also you cannot disable world camera smoothing.

Look in

BeamNG.drive\alpha_prerace\lua
BeamNG.drive\alpha_prerace\scripts

If you want to help me, I know the code is buried in there somewhere.

 

woops wrong thread lmao NM

 

lol I was like " this thread aint old! "

 

im digging...found some camera related stuff, FOV, speed, etc...nothing for any sort of damping or smoothing yet...

 

wow...you would of think they would fix this is the small patch they just released...
