Deadfast's Third Person View - MGS V Style Camera

Description
This is Deadfast's Third Person View Mod.
( https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/141101-deadfasts-third-person-view-for-arma-3/)
(http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=19328)

This mod was already uploaded to Workshop by user PLISKEN (http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=938673323) except that it cannot be configured.

The problem is that the cameraPosition.hpp is not included and the values were inputted directly into the code. I just changed the directory of the cameraPosition.hpp to be inside the addon folder just to make life easier. Make sure your mods are in "...\common\Arma 3\!Workshop" and DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF THE FOLDER. Otherwise, it will throw an error that it cannot detect the file.

This mod uses MGS V style camera preset by default. Not exactly close but identical enough while aiming and at a certain angle.

I also included other presets from the forum. Just copy and paste it in addons folder.

To manually adjust to your liking, edit cameraPosition.hpp file with notepad++ or equivalent and adjust the values.

Known issues:
-There are some clipping issues with certain buildings. I'm guessing this is Arma 3's problem as it is reproducible without the mod installed.

All credits goes to Deadfast for the simple yet innovative Camera mod.

Thank you for adding this, as none of the other mods will let you configure the view.


cheers

Can you add a feature where pressing a button will invert the horizontal offset?

Is this client side or server side?

I like it! My only complaint is that the camera doesn't switch to the left shoulder when you press ctrl+a.

Try 2xNum+ or bind Controls->View->Zoom In(Toggle) to any key you want.
