TSO - More Automaton Cameras

Description
Add More Automaton Cameras - Bottom Mounted, Left Mounted and Right Mounted in both Large and Small Grid.

Features:
  • Add Bottom Mounted, Left Mounted and Right Mounted Cameras in Large and Small Grid.
  • Block Pair with Small Grid
  • Remote Control Group Integration
  • Large and Small Group Integration
  • Block Variant Group with Top Mounted Camera

Why I created this mod:
The vanilla Top Mounted Camera can be rotated to these other positions, but there is a problem.
When rotated the camera view is fixed to the top of the camera.
So when the vanilla Top Mounted camera is rotated to the bottom mounted position and the camera is viewed; the image is upside down.
Likewise rotated to the left or the right the viewed image is on its side.

This mod makes the camera view upright in the Bottom, Left and Right positions as you would expect a forward facing camera.


Note:
Side Mounting name based on facing block to place it on. When viewing through the camera, it is the opposite.

Left Mounted camera when placed is on the Right side of the forward direction.
Right Mounted camera when places is on the Left side of the forward direction.

When viewing the Left Mounted camera, the view will be on the right side of the camera's forward direction.
Just the opposite for the Right Mounted Camera, the view will be on the left side of the camera's forward direction

If you want additional panning of the camera, check out Digi's mod Camera Panning

If you like this mod or any of my other mods, be sure to give them a thumbs up.

I can't believe how I have overseen TSOs mods for such a long time... shame on me.

This bottom/left/right mounted cameras gave me childish joy - thank you!

Thanks for the mod!

@Muxufli - I did not see this issue, but I have seen something like this before. I re-exported the models from blender with no other changes.

Is it just me or the cameras became invisible?

@Viper - Seems to be the way , at least Keen doesn't fight it, let the Modders run free I reckon.

it's becoming pretty standard practice for game devs to rely on modders to finish basic parts of their games for them

awsome... why keen didnt implement these vannila is beyond me. ssems like its more budget freindly to rely on modders to finish the game for them

Beautiful.
The very first thing I wanted to do with the new camera was mount some on the bottom of my rover. That obviously didn't work out too well. I guess the people at KSW don't actually play their game to notice these obvious deficiencies. It's not like having only a top mount adds any kind of interesting engineering gameplay, so why didn't they also add bottom and side mounts along with the top mount? Baffling.

Can you do the same with the view and control of the gun turrets?
