Hey everyone! I'm back with a freshly built PC and mentally ready to mod this game again.

The default camera is so limited in this game, and this was one of my favorite mods to make. I'm planning to make a new version with a new Steam page in the near future (this will probably be the first to be updated). I'll post an comment a link to the new page once its created.

This mod is marked as "incompatible" by 1.0.2.39 game version, but can works with this version (tested only on vanilla).

Free Camera use Q and E keys for rotation, but this key are used in:
* standard game key map (setting -> keyboard menu)
* CQUI keymap (when use this mode with "bindings mode" set to not "standard")
You can:
* unmap it in "game setting" -> "keyboard" and (if you use CQUI) in "CQUI settings" (by switch "bindings mode" to standard)
* change this mapping in "Free Camera" setting menu or in "FreeCamera_Settings.sql" file
Some other keys can need remapping too.

To use "Free Camera" user interface (time of day, camera control, settings) you need add ContextPtr:SetHide(false); at end of "UI/FreeCameraUI.lua" file - after: Initialize();
Then after load game Free Camera UI was shown and can be close (via click on down-arrow) and re-open (after go mouse to bottom screen border and click on up-arrow).

It is saying that the mod isn't compatible with my current game. I have the latest addition with all dlc, help please?

Every CIV game should have SKYRIM type first person walk through, and zoom in on units like XCOM 2.

While playing Earth2020 with this mod enabled I'm not able to build mountain passes or ski resorts with my builders or military engineers. Not sure about reg game since I've only noticed it with the mod Earth2020 so far. Otherwise, awesome mod, love being able to see the close-up details and being able to move with the aswd keys. Thanks.

interface panel now showing up

I can use the free camera perfectly. I save the game. I start playing again after loading the previous game, and the camera won´t work anymore...
:(

@TheXand Thanks for the file.
Can it be used with the rest of the mod, or only alone?
Moyocoya 7 Mar, 2020 @ 1:08am 
You're welcome :-)
xxx78 1 Mar, 2020 @ 11:18am 
I suggest to add settings from Free Camera: Reduced Zoom Range into this mod to reduce zoom to avoid crashes.
xxx78 1 Mar, 2020 @ 8:07am 
Hi again
The mod is working perfect, and Im using GS latest patch, get some crash from time to time when going crazy with camera but that's expected.
Still disable line of sight/firing arch. Its not a big problem, the mod is much more valuable than those visual firing lines, anyway would be nice if it worked.
MadGax 27 Feb, 2020 @ 10:54am 
@XXX78
Is it or is it not working for you?
Are you using GS DLC?
xxx78 19 Feb, 2020 @ 4:27pm 
This mod kill the graphic line of sight and firing arch for range units shown in this picture:
Anyone knows how to fix this?

@Legion It working ok for me, whats your problem?
@MadGax I have no problem with range attack from cities or encampments.
xxx78 13 Feb, 2020 @ 1:07pm 
@Moyocoya Thanks for information
Moyocoya 9 Feb, 2020 @ 9:43pm 
This mod is broken for months, there is no way to fix it but if a modder decides to rewrite it.
You can get a pretty good camera though, using this file for camera.artdef : http://www.mergely.com/I1yMMSeq/ - use the file on the right side of the screen.
See the green comments within this file : you can change all the parameters - max zoom in/out, glide... - and with this camera.artdef, combined with the upper right picture button and alt-left click-drag, you'll have all the altitudes, angles, glides and zooms you want.
Legion 9 Feb, 2020 @ 11:35am 
It isn't working for me, does anyone know any way I can fix it?
MadGax 31 Jan, 2020 @ 12:17pm 
Cannot fire ranged attacks from encampments or cities. Deal breaker, this mod is too broken.
xxx78 28 Jan, 2020 @ 12:14pm 
It work for me, but I can zoom extremely far out.
How do I access the mod menu with options?
Moyocoya 27 Jan, 2020 @ 8:54pm 
It worked with GS, but it has not been updated after a Firaxis update.
bigtardo 27 Jan, 2020 @ 9:55am 
is it that it doesen't work with gatering storm or what is the problem?
bigtardo 27 Jan, 2020 @ 9:54am 
this mood is outdated and it is very sad, It is probably the best civ mood but still it isen't compeditabel please update it
MadGax 24 Jan, 2020 @ 2:07pm 
Firing arc of ranged units does not work with this mod enabled nor does pathing visual.
xxx78 17 Jan, 2020 @ 5:47am 
Thanks for a great mod :)
Tilt did not work, but after some time I found out that tilt enables with pressing T.
Jenkie de Frong 19 Dec, 2019 @ 6:26am 
The Control Panel never shows up for me. WSAD and QE work for me but I can't pan or open/change any settings
Pewterstone 4 Dec, 2019 @ 2:23pm 
omg thank you
QuadrupleQ 28 Jul, 2019 @ 7:36pm 
for some reason, this mod made it impossible to build the Qhapaq Nan improvement as the inca... please fix
Dizzy Ioeuy 10 Jul, 2019 @ 2:16pm 
He means the path for multiple turn moves are no longer displayed correctly with this mod enabled.
Moyocoya 21 Jun, 2019 @ 11:12pm 
@macluk :
What do you mean you have problems with "glitches" ? Sorry, but my english is not good enough to understand.
And how did you manage to make the path not visible ? Because it's the only bug that remains after two updates...
macluk 21 Jun, 2019 @ 10:38am 
@Moyocoya - what steam shows about user's last activity online is not quite accurate - the author might have been online everyday for past weeks on steam, and that still will show you they were last logged in 100 days ago.

I have a problem with... glitches obviously but that is not that annoying as when you want to move your units and that path is not visible anymore.
mjeasmith4 13 Jun, 2019 @ 11:28am 
Disregard my thanks for fixing Free Camera for GS it was premature and will probably never be!
(OLDLINER) Brandon_Gunn 1 Jun, 2019 @ 6:25am 
its says not compatible with latest version.
Jimmy G 18 Apr, 2019 @ 11:53am 
can you make this mod not leve numers on the grand win you move your men
Moyocoya 8 Apr, 2019 @ 7:44am 
@Stormknight : Don't your units leave a track behind when you move them ?
Stormknight 8 Apr, 2019 @ 7:14am 
Weird - was using this just fine, but now I have GS it still works, except .... it prevents military engineers from being able to build tunnels on mountains. Pretty weird bug.
Also prevents builders from building ski resorts.
Moyocoya 21 Mar, 2019 @ 9:19pm 
The author did not login for 72 days...
I asked two moders friends of mine to fix it, the first one says he is not able to do it ; the second is not convinced that it is usefull :-(
Dimas15 21 Mar, 2019 @ 9:13pm 
Is this mod dead?
mjeasmith4 12 Mar, 2019 @ 6:19am 
This is the best Map View Mod Yet. I sure wish it would be updated for GS!
papanick4967 28 Feb, 2019 @ 12:10pm 
Please update this mod for GS
