I mean definitely keep this mod up because this one is good, and the one you recommended is shit lol

i'll be using this mod until the SE team completely breaks it.

Requested Whiplash's Camera mod on a server and the admins claimed that is was only for 16:9 displays, and they claim clean camera mods like this one break their server. Really need instructions on how to do this client-side.

@The_Ich No problem at all! I added it to the description as well.

For those of you, who still want to use a clear overlay for cameras: I added this option to Configurable Parameters . This uses a code based method and should therefor be (more) future-proof (no hardcoded changes in .sbc files). In addition it should also affect custom cameras.

@[Andon] I hope you do not mind, if I point people towards my mod here, since you marked this mod as outdated. Feel free to suggest it as an alternative way to get an absolute clear camera view once again.

Hey yeah, I just recently returned to SE and had this on on my favourites. I'm using Whip's atm since it was recommended in the description. Didn't see that until I'd commented though.

This mod is, at this time, uh. 6.5 years old. I'm surprised it doesn't immediately crash the game.

I might poke at seeing what's needed to update it, but don't hold your breath. Whip's mod is pretty good, so you can use that.

Getting nothing but Critical Errors when loading :(

Folks, while this mod appears to work at first glance - it has a few problems. It replaces the definitions with a modified 2014 version. Things that have been added since 2014 are are missing - eg: raycast etc.

There are many others that do the same flawed thing but with a different overlay.

May I suggest looking at Whip's version instead? Instead of replacing the camera sbc definitions, it uses a simple one-time script to patch the current camera definition. Whenever Keen change things, Whip's mod just works. If you need to make your own, take a look at the script from Whip/Digi.

I downloaded this mod but won't load in any game, it unloads the map. Can't find its folder either in my workshops' folders

Currently for me this makes it so that hitting space will exit the view of the camara
Mizar 26 Nov, 2020 @ 8:25pm 
Still working just fine as of 1.197
EMERALDFARMER 25 Nov, 2020 @ 12:59pm 
when do you update the mod to 1.197?

Sweet! Thanks!
AprilsRealm 26 Jun, 2018 @ 12:11pm 
only works for small grid cameras as of now.
Sanki 14 Apr, 2018 @ 2:54pm 
wow this mod still works! Great!
Elkstone 3 May, 2017 @ 6:43am 
Nice mod, and you don't feel the need to plaster your name all over shit. 10/10
Clintonio 13 Nov, 2016 @ 7:30pm 
10/10. Stock camera grain is over the top.
Kilrathos 31 Jan, 2016 @ 2:00pm 
Kangarooster- as a man I completely agree with this statement
zkangarooster 31 Dec, 2015 @ 2:18am 
You alone made remote control possible and practical for me. If I could get pregnant, I'd have your babies.
Alexander Nightsky 5 Oct, 2015 @ 9:24am 
It's working perfectly for me, thank you for making this. The vanilla camera was unusable for me since it gave me a headache when trying to see through the grainy effect.

Can't believe this doesn't have a 5 star rating
Johnald P. Redham 16 Apr, 2015 @ 8:11pm 
Something is killing my sim speed when using cameras on ships now. Can't tell what it is and I hope it isn't something they did last update that's messing with this mod =/
Dr. Chainsaw 6 Feb, 2015 @ 8:50am 
This Overlay is working again with new update
Ozzy 5 Feb, 2015 @ 8:31pm 
just a heads up that this mod crashes SE because of the new update
Capable Runt 22 Jan, 2015 @ 1:35pm 
Needs to be added to vanilla. 10/10
infal 11 Nov, 2014 @ 2:00pm 
Thanks for releasing this mod! The default grainy overlay is ridiculous!
ArcherMagnus 20 Sep, 2014 @ 1:36pm 
Thank you!!!! As a camera guy, the overlay drove me nuts.
[Andon]  [author] 13 Sep, 2014 @ 1:21pm 
Hrm. Can't manage to get this thing to export properly. Not that it looked pretty in the first place. Keep getting a clean screen with nothing on it. Tried a bunch of things, can't figure it out...
[Andon]  [author] 13 Sep, 2014 @ 12:58pm 
I didn't take any offense to it, no worries! I knew what your intent was.
breakthrough 13 Sep, 2014 @ 12:45pm 
Oh my, my comment looks a little pushy now that I re-read it. I really didn't mean to offend.
[Andon]  [author] 13 Sep, 2014 @ 12:41pm 
Of course. Some people want viewfinders. Some people want clear screens. Some people might even want a game of Mario.
breakthrough 13 Sep, 2014 @ 12:39pm 
If you do make a viewfinder, keep this totally clean version please and make that a separate upload.
[Andon]  [author] 13 Sep, 2014 @ 12:38pm 
Hmmm. Not going to just clean up someone else's work, but I managed to whip up something basic. Let me see if it actually works, though.
lochlain000 13 Sep, 2014 @ 11:59am 
Was thinking something like this http://st.depositphotos.com/1010782/2305/v/950/depositphotos_23057330-camera-viewfinder.jpg without the info at the bottom and the depositphotos text :) but otherwise like that as it would be clear yet show instantly it is a camera
[Andon]  [author] 13 Sep, 2014 @ 11:54am 
Lochlain000 - Yep. Seems fairly simple to do, I just have no graphic skills. This was simply making a blank file and changing a few lines in CubeBlock.sbc
lochlain000 13 Sep, 2014 @ 11:52am 
Is it possible to add a different overlay to the camera? One with a viewfinder? One of those with a circlular bit in middle and the corners of the square around that and similar brackets in the corners?
High Ground 12 Sep, 2014 @ 6:44pm 
Thank you!
