Changelogs
Version 1.3
Fixed the problem of the camera sometimes not being centered at mission start, even when the option has been enabled.
Known issue: Some mechs are tall enough to cover the reticle in centered third person. This doesn't affect gameplay, but obviously makes it slightly harder to see what you're shooting at. Will work on this in the future.
Known issue: For some reason, the CycleInput keybind does nothing if you start the mission with the CenterThirdPerson Mod Option disabled.
Version 1.2
Progress has been made towards fixing the camera not being centered for the player's mech at mission start, however this is still not fully fixed, unfortunately.
Version 1.1
New update
Enabling and disabling the mod mid-mission now works as expected.
Version 1.0
Initial release.
Known issues:
Turning off the centered third person option requires the player to reload the mission. Sometimes the mod's changes aren't applied properly until you switch to another mech of your lance. After that it should work for all mechs in your lance though.
Even with the centered camera enabled, some mechs have the third person camera slightly off-center
Update v1.4 is here. Fixed an issue that caused the new keybinds to not work right. If you encounter any issues, please let me know, but from my testing, this seems to be working.
Requires Mod Options. Works with DLC6.
Adds an option to toggle a Centered Third Person camera for mechs, it is set to OFF by default. Remember to turn it ON in the Mod Options to enable it. Also adds two new rebindable keybinds: one for toggling the centered camera on and off at the press of a button, and another keybind for cycling between first person, regular third person, and centered third person. These keybinds are unbound by default, so be sure to bind buttons to them in the Controls menu.
Should be compatible with damn near everything, even new mechs ;)
I recommend using a customizable HUD mod that lets you reposition the minimap so that you can see the mech a bit better, but that's not required.
