Enhanced Camera Free Look

[Fienyx]

I have, and really enjoy, Enhanced First Person Camera with Camera Commands. I also use Enable Free Look OBSE. I only have 2 issues with the latter, none with the first. The issues are that your body goes invisible, and after using free look, the next time you use it, you're looking exactly where you left it.  I've been trying to get enable free look obse to use camera commands so it might show the body (first task) and then reset to the default position (which I figure the CameraReset command will help alot). After about 30 hours of messing with the script and reading about Camera Commands, I'm stumped.

 

If I press the view change button, I get this when it's released.

 

 

Here's the script as I have changed it.

    ; By default, when in first person, the game waits 0.5 seconds
    ; before switching to vanity camera mode when the middle mouse

    ; there was a chance that the camera would switch to vanity mode
    ; before I could make you see through. Therefore, I increased the
    ; switch to vanity mode delay to be greater than the quest run
    ; interval. This should guarantee that this code exectues before
    ; the camera switches modes.

Green = added

Red = Commented out

 

Added info comes from here, post 9.

 

color changes don't apply in spoiler tags....

 

Edit: Adding the CameraReset stopped the issue from the picture

Interesting side effect while messing around with these camera commands. I found out how to keep the camera in vanity mode, lol. Not really helpful for me though.

Well, after nearly 40 hrs of work/research, I have come to the conclusion that this is currently not possible. Perhaps if vanity camera can be added to camera commands, but for now, due to the limited settings for the vanity camera, it shall not be. 

 

The vanity camera, when set to inside the pc, is about chest height, as it has no set z function. I did alter a few settings in the for look esp, so looking side to side is more natural. That can be found here. It's all that's needed, it's the OBSE version. Other than the body disappearing and the camera staying where it was when you let the free look button go, it works perfectly fine with enhanced camera. The slower turning rate makes it easier to remember to look forward before releasing the button. More natural = better immersion. Enjoy.   This also removes the need for a vanity camera smoother mod.
