About this mod

Camera Mod that allows you to look up and down.

Permissions and credits
GrimCam is a Camera mod for the game Grim Dawn.

While Grim Dawn does have cameracontrols it only lets you rotate the camera left and right, not up and down. Also the movement feels imprecise becuse it uses a dampening algorithm.

To used just place GrimCam.exe, GrimCam.dll and GrimCam.ini in the same folder that Grim Dawn.exe is. Running GrimCam.exe should launch the game with the mod enabled. If you are using the Steam version make sure Steam is running first.

The ini file contains a number of configuration options:

MinPitch
and MaxPitch: These put a limit on how far you canlook up and down.

FOV: Field of view in degrees. Grim Dawn uses vertical field of view. So with a 16:9 display a 60 here will give you ahorizontal field of view of about 91.5

FarClip
: This is the draw distance. GrimCam forces this valuerather than let the game dynamically adjust this to match the fog density. I do this for two reasons. One is that the indoor value of 250 is a bit larger than I would like. The larger the view distance the more likley that turning that camera will put an asset into view the game was not expecting to be there causing the game to pause while it loads. The other is because I like to turn off fog (see below).

HSensitivity and VSensitivity: Horizontal and Vertical mouse sensititiy in degrees per pixel. Yes pixel as it's using the motion of the mouse cursor and not raw mouse input.

MinDistance and MaxDistance: How far you can zoom in and out.

Key: The keycode for the button that needs to be held down to movethe camera. 4 is the keycode for the middle mouse button.

EnableFog: Grim Dawn makesheavy use of distance fog but what it doesn't do is clear to the fog color. So the fogging in the distance clashes with the black background. Set this to 0 for a nice clear view into the distance.

Changes for Version 1.2:

Updated for newer versions of the game.  Please note that this will still only work with the 32bit exe.
If anyone wants to try and recompile this as 64bit and upload here they are welcome to.

Changes for Version 1.1:

Added a patch to prevent the game from changing the zoom limits back.
