Aerial Camera Zoom Reduction

Aerial Camera Zoom Reduction

Reduces the top-down aerial camera zoom animation from interacting with waypoints, signal boosters, beacons, transmission towers, etc.

I always hated discovering waypoints because of that long camera animation taking you hostage, don’t you? If so, this mod is an attempt to remedy that.

This mod reduces/removes the aerial camera animation from certain interactions:
– Waypoint Discovery
– Signal Booster
– Beacons
– Observatories & Transmission Towers

This is my first mod for NMS and my first time with Lua. Despite that, I wanted to provide a Lua script for the mod so players could easily merge or update the mod if needed, also because there is no existing Lua script from previous incarnations of this mod. I was sad to see a favorite QoL mod of mine, No Aerial Camera Zoom by Azzinoth, no longer work with the game and with no updates or revivals. And so I decided to try to recreate it. After several hours studying AMUMSS and cross-checking game files, I’ve got something that works. Perhaps I’m misremembering (someone please tell me if I am) how the other mod worked or there’s something new in the files to change that I’m missing. I’m not able to remove the control of the camera completely, only reduce the time it takes.

Personally, I’m only bothered by the waypoint aspect so I was planning to only make the mod for that initially but figured I might as well do for all of them in case people wanted it. If different versions or changes to the mod are needed feel free to ask and I’ll probably do it. Until then, I hope you guys like it. 🙂

Compatibility:
– NMS Prisms 3.51
– This mod can’t be used along with any other modifying GCCAMERAGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN
– A Lua file is provided should you want to merge this mod with another. With AMUMSS you can easily merge mods or update them by placing the scripts into the ModScript folder and running BUILDMOD.bat
