ThirdPerson Camera Mod for Outcast Second Contact
Author: RunDee
Version: 1.0.0.0
Date: 18.02.2023

--- What does this mod do? ---

Some changes regarding the 3rd person camera:
- Changed the position of the over-the-shoulder aiming cam to a position similar to other contemporary 3rd person shooters
- Removed the strange bobbing, when you aim while running forwards/backwards
- Removed the lagging camera when you move laterally (now Cutter is always at the center).
- Aligned the "safe" camera (the close-up cam to avoid clipping through walls) to the same/similar position as the aiming cam. The original close-up cam often suddenly hovers over Cutters head while you aim and move, which I found distracting. This also often happened outside with no obstructions in proximity. On the other hand with this mod active, there will be some clipping errors, when e.g. Cutter's back is near a wall.

--- How do I install the mod? ---

BepInEx Installation:
- You need BepInEx 5.4.21, which functions as the mod loader/injector.
- If you don't have it yet, download it from here: https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx/releases/tag/v5.4.21
- Unpack everything into the Outcast folder, where "outcast.exe" is located. For Steam it should be something like: ...\steamapps\common\Outcast - Second Contact\
- Run Outcast Second Contact once and exit again. Now there should be a plugins folder inside of the BepInEx folder, e.g. ...\steamapps\common\Outcast - Second Contact\BepInEx\plugins

Mod Installation:
- Copy the .dll file from the mod and paste it into the mentioned BepInEx plugins folder.

That's it! If you don't want to use it anymore, just delete the .dll file from the plugins folder!

They should be compatible with the BepInEx plugins, as these are ini and asset modifications.
