Recent Tonik's camera patch allows you to create a lot of scripted camera action in ezQuake. Let this be a place to gather some nice scripted camera configs. Let me start with a very basic one - camera positions bookmarks: //
// Camera positions bookmarks
//
// Use [Ctrl]+[0], [1], ..., [9] to store cam positions
// Use [0], [1], ..., [9] to load stored camera positions
//
bind ctrl +cams_save_mode
set cams_bindn 0
// been too lazy to type all that bind 1 blah bind 2 blah stuff manually...
alias cams_bindnext "cams_bindc; inc cams_bindn 1; if $cams_bindn < 10 cams_bindnext"
alias cams_bindc "bind $cams_bindn cams_go $cams_bindn"
cams_bindnext
set cams_bindmode 0
alias +cams_save_mode "set cams_bindmode 1"
alias -cams_save_mode "set cams_bindmode 0"
alias cams_go "if $cams_bindmode == 0 cams_load %1 else cams_save %1"
alias cams_load "cam_angles $cam_angles_saved%1; cam_pos $cam_pos_saved%1; echo camera position %1 loaded"
alias cams_save "set cam_angles_saved%1 $cam_angles; set cam_pos_saved%1 $cam_pos; echo camera position %1 saved" Today I've added f_captureframe trigger (it gets triggered on the beginning of every new captured frame), so you can create some advanced scripted moves. I wouldn't call this "advanced script", but it should give you some hint which way to go ;-) // accelerated camera movement
set step 2
alias f_captureframe "set_calc step $step * 1.05; set_calc temp $cam_pos_y + $step; cam_pos $cam_pos_x $temp $cam_pos_z" I've extended this configs into something more usefull, you can find the result here - Camera bookmarks config

Recent [url=http://ezquake.cvs.sourceforge.net/ezquake/ezquake/cl_cam.c?sortby=date&view=log]Today I've added f_captureframe trigger (it gets triggered on the beginning of every new captured frame), so you can create some advanced scripted moves. I wouldn't call this "advanced script", but it should give you some hint which way to go ;-) // accelerated camera movement
set step 2
alias f_captureframe "set_calc step $step * 1.05; set_calc temp $cam_pos_y + $step; cam_pos $cam_pos_x $temp $cam_pos_z" Can you explain what that does exactly. I'm not sure I got it right. BTW, the other script works great

When you start capturing, your camera (POV) will start moving along the Y axis of the map with an accelerated movement.

Still not sure what that creates as of visual effect... Will have to try it.
So no bind needed? Just record when switched to spec mode?

I guess you alias on f_captureframe what you want to happen when it is triggered?
Never really played with triggers before...

It's not any "effect", just a preview of how camera movement can be pre-scripted.
Doesn't apply when you are tracking a player.

I'll work on something better soon I hope. Expect timed actions a CW/CCW control on the cam movement.

From cams.cfg (1.2): // Use [Shift]+[0], [1], ..., [9] to move smoothly to cam position // (will happen only during capturing) - why only for capturing - can we have it for observing aswell? Join us on discord.quake.world
