Since the old link to the free cam is down, I decided to post a new link. Hope that I didn't need any permission or anything to do this, considering that it's not my creation, but I didn't read anything about not uploading it anywhere.

Free Cam

*Free Cam mod created by [RDH]Zerted*
Staff edit

thanks Fionwë you are a great help...

Thanks for putting that in, whoever did it. I forgot to do so myself, it was unintentional.
@wazmol69, pleasure to be of help.

This is great thanks.

Thank u.

what is free cam? Is it for getting screen shots without being a trooper?

I guess you didn't see my other posts saying the server would be down until this weekend. My new (but really old) server is now running. The next version of FreeCam is almost done and will be integerated into the pack. It doesn't add much, but there are two keyboard shortcuts to help you move through the menus faster (also gives an edge in spawning).

Server: http://75.75.126.123:81/~zerted/swbf2

If anyone cares:
CPU: P3 500mhz
RAM: 1x128MB
OS: Ubuntu 6.1 server
Hard Drive: 10GB
No mouse, no keyboard, no screen
Net: Comcast
Average Net Speeds: 3mb/s down, 250 kb/s up
Note: Will be down for rare, random short periods until I can get a better power cord.
Note: Will be going offline sometime after July 20th, 2007.

a new version!!
in which pack? in the conversionpack?

Is the Version you integrate to the Pack, at your server downloadable? or is it the old one?

I know this is going to sound kinda stupid, coming from the guy who just reuploaded it, but...
how do I use it? I mean, I know how it works, and I can use it, but how do I move the camera into different positions, like up or down? And, how do I use the fake consol? I found a thread once, with all these instructions, but since I didn't have free cam then, I didn't bother reading it, and now I can't find again.
@a_speck_of_dust Yeah, it's actually pretty cool.

Check your Keyboard:
A,D ,S (or all Cursor Buttons:Left-Right-UP-Down)Pos,End.
or Left Mouse Button for Forward and the Mouse to rotate the Pic.

Didn`t you have some Commands in the Fake-Console?

The server is hosting the older version. The new one is planned on being in the SWBF1 Conversion pack (maybe v2.0) and if Teancum doesn't mind, I'll release the .lvls and their source so you won't have to download that massive work if you don't want the maps.

I still have a few bugs to work out before I release it. As of now, you sometimes can load and join the next map faster than the server. When this happens, your game hangs at Waiting for other players... and you have to quit then rejoin to play. I also need to prevent you from tracking (putting an objective marker on) enemy units. I'm about to test a sound on/off command. Hopefully it will provide relief to those driven crazy by the repeating sound bugs. The redesigned menu system I used to talk about worked great, but it was taking too long to layout all the fields and buttons, so it will not be included. I still haven't found a nice way to toggle the award effects

All the controls were in the modding wiki... These are the only ones I was quickly able to find:

To go faster, hit the + and - keys.

FreeCam FakeConsole topic: http://www.gametoast.com/index.php?name ... pic&t=5808

I have a question Zerted. Is there any possible way to make it so the Camera can just circle around a vehicle/unit, instead of Breaking off from the unit/vehicle and following the same controls, but moving in different directions as the unit/vehicle?

I was watching a few of the cut-scenes from the game and noticed that on the one for Space Coruscant, the Camera was in complete sync with the Jedi Starfighter, just filming from a different angle (instead of the back).

I ask this because this kind of filming is needed for a few..."Future Videos"...I have planned

I can't do anything to the camera except enable/disable it. You can try modding the unit to change your field of view. You can also try jumping on your keyboard in an attempt to find more camera controls.

The sound test failed. The command only controls menu/shell sounds, not ingame sounds

Edit:
Just noticed SetFreecamTarget, SetFreeCamPos, ToggleFreeCamFollow, and ToggleFreecamTether in the BF2_modtools.exe's fake console. I assume the developers used those in creating the movies.

I like the project Zerted but I have 1 question where do the screenshots go when u take em?

To a folder called screenshots in the gamedata folder, that is created the first time you take a pic. I couldn't find it myself when I first learned how to take screens.

Any updates on freecam 2.0?
