Welcome (Back) To DynamicCam!
DynamicCam automates camera transitions (and settings) between the many different 'situations' that your character can find themselves in. Using the new ActionCam settings reintroduced in 7.1, experience the game in a new way!
Examples:
- Zoom in when indoors
- Zoom out while mounted
- Zoom in and rotate while teleporting/hearthing (and hide the UI!)
- Set your zoom to a particular value while fishing

After quite a bit of work with Curseforge Support we finally have the Project live. You should be able to download this just as easily as any other mod now from the Twitch App.

World Questing on a Prot Warrior (early version)
Getting Support
Post a comment here or PM me on Reddit, I'm /u/mpstark
Where can I find user created import / exports? Does something like that exist? Perhaps another warrior already has THE perfect setup?
This is incredible. So many options and I don't even know where to begin...
I have noticed once thing, AFTER a charge (classic wow)... the camera does not have a smooth transition. There is a minor horizontal snap. I didn't explore the options too much, but that would be a nice thing to customize / fix.
Quality on recording is bad but you can see it. kinda. https://streamable.com/60apl
Amazing work! Just wow.... like a whole new game!!!
p.s. - i loaded the preset, that is super helpful. i'd have no idea where to start without that...
Fixed camera snap issue by enabling Camera Follow Style Always. Here are my settings: https://i.imgur.com/RikuC5d.png
p.s. - drag the slider for Auto-Follow Speed to the left to make it MORE smoOOooOoth and slow. Or right, to make it snappier.
When using multiple situations and the user is adjusting the zoom manually in game (via the mouse scroll wheel) is there any way for the user's 'last zoom level' to be saved and restored according to each situation? Similar to how the 'Zoom set to <value>' option works, but the value being set to the last zoom level for the situation instead of being a fixed value.
Say I was in out of combat and I used the mouse-scroll to adjust the zoom level, then went into combat and zoomed out a bit with the mouse scroll. I'd like it so that when I dropped out of combat the old zoom level that I used when I was out of combat to be restored. When I enter combat again, the old zoom level that I used when I was in combat would be restored.
I tried fiddling with the LUA files but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work this way. If anyone has a solution to this I'd be very grateful.
In reply to Gaszpard:
I think, this would be totally possible. Use the ExitSituation() function to store the current zoom for that situation (make a table with situationID as the key) when exiting it. Use the EnterSituation() function to check if a stored value for the new situationID exists and if so, set it.
Since 8.3 dropped, I've noticed that the rules for dungeons and raids (for instance, do not activate in them) aren't working. Has anyone else experienced this?
Love the add on. The UI fade makes things feel nice and immersive.
Using escape to undo the fade is getting tedious tho, since that ends up cancelling something I'm trying to see and putting me in a new transition. What has to be done in order to unfade the UI while mousing over an element of the interface? That'd be really cool.
Every time I target myself, the shoulder offset seems to transition back to 0. Is this intentional, or am I missing a setting? All of the other dynamic camera following options appear to be off.
In reply to Skewjo:
What do you mean be "following options"?
Regarding the shoulder offset when targeting yourself: Yes, that's the standard behaviour of WoW. It has nothing to do with DynamicCam and it is also nothing that DynamicCam could prevent. Consider it a feature: Otherwise you would never be able to look at yourself closely from all sides while playing with a shoulder offset.
I'm having an issue with the transition and I have no idea how to fix it.
When I go from fishing to not fishing, it takes 2 seconds for it to change. "Dont slow" has been enabled in the settings
In reply to Fuskenz:
For some reason the default setting for exiting this situation is a delay of 2 seconds. Have you tried to set this to 0?
In reply to LudiusMaximus:
Holy shit thank you so much! I was pulling my hair out over this!
I try to set up two custom situations for being mounted: one for riding and one for flying. Does anyone know what event trigger I should use so DC recognizes when I start/land? I need an event that "reports" my riding/flying state in real time.
In reply to wizard4597:
The best event for this would be PLAYER_MOUNT_DISPLAY_CHANGED. But if you are trying to change the shoulder offset at the same time the shoulder offset is interpreted differently by the game due to being mounted or not, it gets more complicated. I am working on an addon of its own to tackle this: https://github.com/LudiusMaximus/CameraOverShoulderFix/
The lack of decent presets completely kills this for me. It's nice that you have all these options, but I don't feel like spending an hour setting up every option and situation just to try it out.
Have a decent preset that isn't just basic zooming. Then people can tweak that to their needs from there.
I'm still attempting to get Curseforge to work out my issues with the Classic Versions Project Page.
For now if you're looking to use this addon in Classic. Please go to DynamicCam-Classic on my GitHub Personal Page.
This addon worked earlier today on another toon. When I was gonna level another toon the zoom doesn't work as I wanted it to.
I have no idea why Blizzard has decided to that zooming in on a night elf it is a grrrrrrrrrrrreat idea to zoom in on the legs.
This addon made my first toon zoom in on the head, but whatever I try in the setttings nothing works as I want it to.
How? Why?
I just want to zoom in on the head level, not the legs. OMG!!! BLIZZARD?!?!?!
got it-
To anyone looking to download a fixed version that'll work with Classic, please check out DynamicCam-Classic on GitHub.
Thanks to yoshimario40 and isecai for the fixes that made the addon work in Classic. I've simply created this repository and re-released the addon to allow others that aren't as savvy to be able to play with the addon again.
In reply to weston990:
Did you include mpstark’s profile in your classic release?
In reply to duhwhat:
Yup that profile is still available in the addon.
