Cameraman Mod v1.3

[venn413]

I'm having an issue. I've been following the instructions on the github page to the best of my ability, and I've gotten the game to launch through powershell, but none of the mod's UI or settings show up. It literally just launched standard Doom 2 with a few cheats on.
Did i do something wrong? Is my computer just taking a break today? What can I do?

Are you launching CameramanEditor.pk3? Because you don't get that if you are launching CameramanPlayer.pk3.

Can I have some help here?

I've been trying for three days to get this to work and I just can't figure it out.

When I load up PowerShell and put in the required text I get this error message.

update: i got it working today. my problem was not understanding the buttons on github and downloading the source code instead of the actual release. oops.

Version 1.1 released! See it on GitHub.

What's new:

• bash script alternatives to PowerShell (shout out to m0rb)
• Added option which automatically warps player to the camera during playback
• Added option which hides player model/sprite during playback
• Always hide the cursor during playback
• Fixed a small issue with exporting boolean values into .cman files, those now always export as 0 or 1

This is actually pretty cool!
I may use this for some of my TC mods for GZDOOM.
Keep up the good work

Version 1.2 released! See it on GitHub.

The second big update.

What's new:

• Angle smoothing for Bezier curves with relative angle mode - no more jittery camera movement
• Added a new "Point and shoot" drawing mode, which greatly simplifies designing linear camera paths
• Expanded the editor HUD with contextual hints at the bottom of the screen
• Tweaked the appearance of editor cursor and camera path preview markers
  • They are now rendered as solid color circles for a cleaner look
  • They are now also better centered
  • Their aspect ratio is adjusted to appear as circles
  • They now have FORCEXYBILLBOARD flag to always face the player and be more visible from an extreme camera pitch
  • Locked cursor has a yellow tint to better communicate the difference between two cursor modes
• Fixed a bug in which "Hide player" option wouldn't work when running the camera from player.ps1

Version 1.3 released! See it on GitHub.

A little quality of life update.

What's new:

• Editor and player scripts are now named cm-editor.ps1 and cm-player.ps1 respectively, it's done to minimize the risk of name clashing in case Cameraman folder is added to PATH
• Editor saves exported camera profiles into the current working directory instead of Cameraman home folder
• Bash version of the editor script now prints 'Exported export-xxxx.cman' upon saving a profile (same as PowerShell version did already)
• 'delay' minimum value is now 0 (it was 1 for some inexplicable reason)
