Better Debug Camera (Mouse + Keyboard)

Description
Vanilla Behaviour:
  • The debug camera can only be used with a controller.
  • In Tactical and Shell, you can press DEL to toggle between Debug and Standard Camera
  • If the controller isn't active in the options, the camera moves at 1/1000 the default speed.

Changes:
  • You can use the Debug Camera with Mouse and WASD too! Wohoo!
  • DEL works in Strategy too
  • The speed of the camera is the same, regardless of whether the Controller is enabled
  • Camera speed is configurable in the .ini

Overrides:
  • XComCamera
  • XComHeadquartersCamera

Pro tip:
You can speed up / slow down the camera with the left/right trigger buttons.

Broken with WOTC, use this version for WOTC instead. According to that mod author, this version in particular works fine for vanilla.

Hello, is it compatibile with Instant Avenger Menues or Free Camera Rotation?

First off, this is amazing. Seriously - wonderful, wonderful work.

Second - crazy question: is it possible to enable a modifier key (like shift or LeftControl) to speed up or slow down the camera speed while in game?

It'd be awesome to be able to zoom around quickly to position my camera and then slow down for gentle push-ins, etc.

Just wondering! :)

Good news, I ported this mod as an unofficial update for WOTC. You can get it here

Funny story, I tried to update this mod unofficially with the wotc sdk and I couldn't really fix the problem this one had because of a difference in the StartRoomView function parameters, which I could not figure out how to fix considering that I have some programming experience but still new to game modding.

I don't have Wizards of the Coast, no Debug Camera for me then :/

There is a separate WotC SDK, if you download that, you'll get the 1GB SDK and can opt in to the full content (right-click->properties->betas)

The crash I posted about early had nothing to do with this mod, I coudn't pinpoint, looks like happen sometimes with the same mods.
I didn't find any beta choices on XCom 2 or it's SDK on Steam. :/
