Film Mode

Film Mode

A workaround for a real time free fly cam mode without the freeze time constraint. Also includes many photo mode changes like increased speed, extended range, and more filters.

Compatible with: Emergence (3.71)

An up-to-date rendition of Rohtang’s Cinematography BuildCam Rework mod (all credit to Rohtang13 for the film mode idea) with other Photo Mode changes. This version is made using AMUMSS (by Mjjstral aka MetaIdea and Wbertro aka TheBossBoy).

What it does:

“Film mode”/Build cam: Removes UI elements in the BUILDINTERACT sub menu/building cam mode, so you can film with time unfrozen (without needing to be in multiplayer). Also increases the build mode distance range (BuildingModeMaxDistance) from 60 to 900,000. Increased the max camera speed by 2x.

Photo mode: Increased the max camera speed by 2x, increased photo mode max distance (and space max distance) from 150 to 900,000, reduced photo mode collision radius (so you can get closer to objects), and decreased roll speed by 1/3rd, so you can roll the camera slowly. Set all filters to true, so you can use a dozen or so more filters (i.e. the frozen planet filter).

v1.1: Extended third-person ship view to 360 degrees while using a controller (LookStickLimitAngle).

Why?

AFAIK nobody’s figured out how to remove the frozen time constraint in photo mode in single player yet.

How to use “film mode”/build cam:

Settings > general options > HUD: Disabled. – Needed to disable other HUD elements like health bar.
Go into the build menu (z on PC / d-pad “up” on controller).
Choose “Edit Placed Parts” (c on PC / square on controller). -This brings you to the “BUILDINTERACT” menu, where all UI elements have been hidden by this mod.
“Toggle Camera” (b on PC / L3 on controller), now you have a real time free fly cam!

Compatibility (files changed):

UI\BUILDINTERACT.MBIN
GCCAMERAGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN
METADATA\EFFECTS\SCREENFILTERS.MBIN

Probably doesn’t work with other player camera or photo mode mods.

Important:

While in “film mode”/build cam, any change to the player’s position automatically resets the camera i.e. if a creature moves you or the terrain dynamically changes as you move the camera further away (more frequent while using terrain mods). To avoid this, you can move onto your ship or a placed part (or something immovable) before entering build mode.

This mod makes editing placed parts (i.e. changing building materials) difficult because you, obviously, don’t have the button prompts. I recommend making your base first, then adding this mod if that’s what you want to record.
