Post by Boondorl »

Ever wish the chase cam were a little more free? Look no further as Chase Cam++ has arrived. Now you can finally see that sick skin you've been showing off to your friends while playing.
Includes full player rotation:

Also includes basic support for screen blending! No more guessing if you took damage or picked up an item. Works with any GZDoom game you can throw at it, and even has multiplayer support.

You can grab the latest release here.
Or check out the source code over on Github.

That's very nice. It's really quite intuitive to use and more flexible than the built-in one.

With developer mode on, GZDoom warns about a few truncations of fp values:

Code: Select all

Truncation of floating point value

Admittedly I usually leave the standard mode on so I only catch the particularly egregious cases GZDoom warns about. All of those are related to implicit casting that occurs when calculating screen blending alpha (the nature of it means converting between 0..255 and 0..1 is really common). They're intentional so I didn't bother to explicitly cast them, though it could be trivially added.

This also won't show you fullbrightness if you activate chase cam while this mod is loaded, and if you have fullbright goggles.
