*Update*
Free cams for everyone! Have you ever felt a slight feeling of dislike about the default angle of a camera?
Have you ever been annoyed by the fiddling it takes to get the cam set up like you want to, every time you log in?
Have you ever longed for more convenience in the ways of Salem cameras?
No more!From now on, you can configure the default values for all cams separately, and conveniently!
Under: Option / Camera & Graphics / ... you will now find a button "Cam Config" next to the camera type selection.
This button opens a window with sliders to adjust your favorite cam in the following ways:
- Angle: is the left-right axis
- Elevation: is the up-down axis
- Distance: is ...the distance of the cam, now freely configurable for ever single cam from up close to super far (!)
- Scroll Speed: is a multiplier on the mouse-wheel-scroll-speed of cams, that's right, you can even configure that now!
Further convenience features include:
- you can keep the "Cam Control Options"-window open while clicking through the cams, and it will update without the need to re-open it
- all cams are saved separately, and automatically
- the "console name" of the selected cam is displayed in that window ("Current cam is: ..."), so you know which one it is, if you want to control it by console later
- when using the sliders, the exact values are outputted to system chat so you can exactly see what you do
- with this, you can even adjust values that are not otherwise configurable, like the elevation for isometric cams
The console:
- parameters used via console command are
NOT saved, and won't change your settings for that cam(!)
- ":cam CamName" will select the cam of that name, see above paragraph for how to know that name
- ":help" has all the details of this and other cam commands
- Options are: ":cam CamName angle elevation distance scrollSpeed"
- "x" for a value if you want to skip it (and use the currently saved value for that cam, or the default if none is saved yet)
- angle and elevation are entered in degrees (°)
So as an example, if you typed in ":cam free 270 25 300 10" will give you the freestyle cam with 270° angle (left-right), 25° elevation (up-down), 300 distance (somewhat close) and 10 times scroll speed,
if you typed ":cam free 270" instead you would just define the angle (first parameter) and take the other 3 as they are,
if you typed ":cam free x 25 x 10" you would skip angle (first) and distance (third) and only set elevation (up-down) and scroll speed.
This can be very convenient if you have macros on your keyboard keys, like you can do with certain keyboards.

WARNING: I take no responsibility if you mess up with the following feature(!) ^^
2nd feature for today: auto-unkin-red
This will, if activated, auto unkin (just "unkin", not "forget") every character in your kin-list that belongs to the 3rd group which has the colour red.
This is OFF by default, ofc.
There is no button for it, so you can't accidentally mess up with this.
To activate, type into the console: ":autounkinred"
If active, it will auto-unkin red characters in your kin list when you:
- activate this
- log in
- someone memorized and marked as red kins you
[edit:] this is ofc saved, so if turned on, it will be on for all consecutive session until turned off again
