Beat saber camera for Liv made by fries.\ This plugin will smoothly and randomly blend between any number of pre-defined cameras, both static and orbital.
Comments and feature requests are welcome.
Download the DLL from the assets in the latest release - https://github.com/friesofdoom/FriesBSCam/releases/ \ Copy the dll file into:\ <...>\Documents\LIV\Plugins\CameraBehaviours\\ After you use the camera for the first time, it will create a settings file in:\ <...>\Documents\LIV\Plugins\CameraBehaviours\FriesBSCam\\ You can then modify the settings to suit your purpose.
Select your camera in LIV. Change it to plugin camera. Select FriesBSCam at the bottom.
GlobalBias='0.0' This rotates the camera around the y-axis in oder to move the avatar slightly to the left or right This is used if you have something like a first person view on the left or the right of your video feed, then you will want to move the avatar in the opposite direction slightly. I use a value of -15.0 to move my avatar slightly to the right.
Debug='False' or 'True'\ Optional Parameter that will output debug logs from BeatSaberStatus (HTTPStatus)
MenuCamera= { ... }\ Optional MenuCamera can be setup when using HTTPStatus. Uses the same properties as a normal Camera (below).
Camera={ ... }\ This creates a new camera with the following properties:
Name='CameraName'\ The name of the camera.
Type='LookAt' or 'Orbital'\ The type of camera.
Distance='3.0'\ Distance from the avatar for orbital camera only
Speed='1.0'\ Orbital camera speed
PositionBinding='playerWaist' or 'playerRightHand' or 'playerLeftHand' or 'playerRightFoot' or 'playerLeftFoot' or 'playerHead'\ The bone on the avatar to bind the camera position to.
PositionOffset={x='0.0', y='0.0', z='0.0'} \ The position offset from the binding bone.
LookAtBinding='playerWaist' or 'playerRightHand' or 'playerLeftHand' or 'playerRightFoot' or 'playerLeftFoot' or 'playerHead'\ Look-At bone binding target if the camera is an Orbital Type.
LookAt={x='0.0', y='-0.5', z='1.0'} \ Look-At direction if the camera is a LookAt camera Type\ Look-At bone binding offset of the camera is an Obrital Type.
MinTime='4.0' \ Minimum time that this camera is active for
MaxTime='8.0' \ Maximum time that this camera is active for
ActualTime='0.0' \ (Optional) Used with song-specific settings files to give more control over timing of changing to other cameras (see below)
TransitionTime='0.0' \ (Optional) Allows you to set the amount of time it takes to blend to a camera (highly useful for song-specific but can be used for either). Default is 0.0s for cameras that don't specify, however the file creation uses 2.0s which is a generally pleasing blend
ReleaseBehindPlayer='true/false' \ (Optional) Used for orbital cameras. If true the camera will remain active until behind the player. Default is false.
If you have the HTTPStatus Plugin installed the following features are enabled:
- Static Menu Camera automatically when in Beat Saber's menu, automatically switching to dynamic cameras on song start
- Restarting the song selects a new camera (great if you don't like the camera that it chose at the start)
- Optional Song-Specific settings files (see below)If you are using HTTPStatus on song load we check to see if there is a song-specific settings file.\
It searches in the same settings directory <...>\Documents\LIV\Plugins\CameraBehaviours\FriesBSCam\ for a settings.[songhash].txt file.\
If it finds said file, it will clear out the current dynamic cameras for the cameras and build a new linear list of cameras using ActualTime.
ActualTime allows you to specify how long to stay on a specific camera before it moves onto the next, giving you greater control of movement.\ (Note, the first timer does not start until score changes - this is to allow different PCs to load up the song properly to sync multiple players.)\ You can find the songhash in the output.txt file that's generated while in game and a song is loaded.
