Utility cam (a third-person mod)

Description
The step-up successor to ThirdPerson++; Expanded and enhanced with many new features:
  • Camera angles are now saved as presets using JSON files, allowing you to create the third-person camera you want
  • 3D crosshair with the added option to draw the player's trace for easier aiming
  • Zoom in/out instantly with a customisable zoom level
  • Works straight out of the box with a default bind (T) and doesn't require sv_cheats

How to use
Simply go to the new Camera options tab on the top-right of the spawn menu. The Client category will you get started, and if you want to create a preset, head over to Presets!

As with every view-based addon, Utillity cam uses the CalcView() hook, and thus, may conflict with other addons that use it.

Version 1.0.2
  • Fixed an oversight where directory for the JSON files in the data folder wouldn't be created if the player chose to generate example presets without saving a preset before hand. Thanks to @glchski for pointing that out to me...

| Even if you follow these steps and change the key, it still only works with T

for those who need some additional help.
I got it to work by:
1. relaunching garry's mod (if it was open when you installed it)
2. opening up the spawn menu (for me it's q)
3. next to tools tab in the top right of the spawn menu, NOT the top right of your screen, there is a tab labeled camera. This is different then the camera in the tools menu.
4. go to presets first.
5. press Generate Example Presets
6. go to client.
7. check what the hotkey is for the next preset.
8. rebind it to whatever you want. (or leave it as is)
9. Press that key.

would be nice if you could disable the crosshair entirely, or add custom textures (since setting it to anything other than arrow/cross via console turns it into an error)
