Better Debug Camera (Unofficial WOTC Version)

Description
I am kinda new to modding games like XCOM 2, just a side note.

Basically, this mod is an unofficial update from an older and outdated version that doesn't work with the expansion, this mod fixes that issue.

For those who don't know, this mod makes it possible to use the Debug Camera with the keyboard. Before the original version, you needed a console controller to move the debug camera and this mod makes it possible for you to use it without a controller.

To use this mod in the game, all you have to do is enable the console in launch properties, and when the game starts, press Delete to activate it. Press it again to turn it off. You can pretty much do this anywhere like the main menu, avenger, in battle, and even in the character pool screen. Just don't overdo it because it was originally intended for debugging and you might see some things you weren't meant to see, but it would be useful for machinima videos or movies, or if youtubers wanted to have fun with the camera.

This is an adaptation of robojumper's old mod and since he hasn't said anything about an update, I decided to port it into WOTC myself. I will gladly take this mod down once he has updated his.

A word of warning though, I haven't tested this for the non WOTC game. So I wouldn't recommend playing this on Vanilla XCOM 2.

If you do want to play this on Vanilla, I'd use robojumpers version as it still works in the non-WOTC version.

Compatibility:
I would strongly advise against using robojumper's Better Debug Camera along with this one as it may cause a conflict issue and crash the game.

This mod is also incompatible with improved Camera mod (Both Legacy and WOTC) as it for some reason affects the WASD keys.

This mod is also incompatible with the instant Avenger menu (Vanilla and WOTC)

Known Issues:

As of now I have tested the mod for WOTC for known bugs and crashes (e.g. Crashing after Debrief in the Strategy Layer, and crashing after exiting certain room) and confirmed that the said issues have been fixed.

However, as I am a novice game modder, I am currently unaware of any other issues concerning mod compatibility or crashes caused by other things. If you do run into these problems, PLEASE LET ME KNOW so I can make note of it.

Save game compatible:

It should be compatible with any previous saves but let me know if it isn't.

Sorry, I have a problem, a year ago the mod worked very well for me, I played xcom2 again and installed the mods again, including this one. However, Delete to activate the camera does not work, it is as if a mod were not installed. At first I thought it was because of robojumper, but when I uninstalled it, it's still the same. I wanted to ask you what could be the reason?

Oh now that's a shame, still, the mod works as it is intended so I can't complain.

@Faiz Afraid not, or at least not that I know of unfortunately. :(

Cool mod, even works in the main menu to see some behind the scenes.
Is there anyway to disable the wall transparency feature in-game?

This mod and Instant avengers cause HUGE HUGE FPS ddrop, like leaving avenger to geospace is a slow crawl be warned.

This mod is amazing, I recommend it to anyone who likes to take epic screenshots or just be able to see things that the game normally don't want you to see. There is so many little details in the game that i wish i could just make a good zoom and appreciate it. 10/10 Mod.
