Craft Controller Camera

*** THIS MOD IS BROKEN FOR NOW DUE TO THE RECENT CAMERA UPDATE ***

In my opinion, remapping TFGH/IJKL to WASD is not enough to provide intuitive control of a vehicle and is made worse by the fact that the arrow keys are still used by some flying vehicles. Since people don't usually possess three hands, you are unable to simultaneously pilot and use the weapons of a flying vehicle.

This community, with high certainty, has decent overlap with other vehicle fighting games such as War Thunder, World of Warships, and others. Because of this assumption, I looked to those games when designing this mod as the complaints about controlling vehicles in those games are orders of magnitude less than in From The Depths.

The recent camera changes, though in its current stage difficult to deal with, are a small step by the game's devs toward that ideal... though some of the intent behind the changes feels a little misguided.

Will update this page and mod later once I decide on a course of action.





Old description is as follows:

*** THIS MOD IS EXPERIMENTAL AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE! ***

If you are...

- in first person mode
- seated at the helm of the vehicle of your choice
- ready to rock and roll

... then congratulations! You will enter a new experimental craft camera mode!

This mod provides a 3rd person view of your vehicle and switches around a few controls on your behalf:

- The number keys now are used to select weapon slots, or you can use "[" and "]" by default to switch weapon slots.
- Use WASD to control your vehicle.
- (WIP/Not implemented yet) The left and right mouse buttons will fire your selected weapon or zoom to focus.

Don't forget to increase the throttle (using W) when manually piloting an aircraft!

How does the mod determine if you are in an aircraft as opposed to a ship? This mod will "guess" if your vehicle is a ship or aircraft depending on the movement mode the AI normally uses.

DISCLAIMERS:
*** This mod is only for 4.1.2.0 and above. It probably does not work in multiplayer.***
*** Aircraft handling characteristics vary from build to build. Some vehicle types may not be supported. ***
