Camera Panning - rotate camera view (+reset 1st person character view)

This mod enables players to change the direction camera while viewing it. Works for any camera block, modded or vanilla.

How to use in game

When you view a camera the mod will tell you the controls as a HUD notification.

Simply hold the LookAround key (default: LeftAlt) and move your mouse/arrow keys/gamepad right stick to rotate the view (pitch and yaw).

You can also swap the yaw control with the roll control by holding the Sprint key (default: Shift), very useful for ceiling mounted cameras as shown in the video.

To reset the view back to centered press the Change Camera View key (default: V).

Pitch and yaw angle limits are determined by the camera's raycast angle limit (which is default to 45 which means -45 to 45). Roll has no limit.

Different people on the same camera can look in their individual directions because the view is not synchronized.

Other effects

This mod also changes: - The max FOV on the vanilla cameras to 100 degrees (because 60 was simply too low), this does not affect mod-added camera blocks. However it is fully compatible with mods that change things on the vanilla cameras (except of course the max FOV). - Fixes the position of the camera being in the center of the block rather than close to the camera model itself. This affects all non-modded cameras that do not have a ModelOffset set to them (because that also moves the camera view). - Camera key resets first person view orientation on characters if 3rd person is disabled.

Side notes

I've not used the vanilla roll controls (default Q/E) for rolling the view for 2 reasons: - Alt+Q/E still operates gyroscopes and I can't stop that. - It can get more confusing than it is now.

Known issues

- (PB scripts) When the host rotates a camera, the camera raycast will be rotated along with it until they leave the camera view; this does not affect DS since DS can't view cameras.
