📋 About This Mod

Improves cаmera handling with controller and mouse. Adds separate fov settings for the 1st and 3rd person. Adds options to the in-game settings menu: zoom speed, zoom sensitivity scale, controller deadzone etc.

===     Readme    ===

This plugin for Fallout 3 fixes an issue with controller camera rotation where the camera made jittery rotation steps during small movements at high sensitivity values, and replaces default ADS sensitivity calculations with a modern method for consistent 1:1 mouse feel.

  • []Smoother camera rotation behavior using controller[/]

    []Improved camera behavior when using ads and scopes[/]

    []New settings in the game menu[/]

    []Adjustable sensitivity scales for scope, ADS, third-person, and zoom-based scaling[/]

    []Editable stick curves[/]

    []Customizable stick deadzone for better precision.[/]

    []Independent FoV for 1st and 3rd person.[/]

    []Selectable 4 custom third-person camera variants: Centered, Raised, Eye Level, Vanilla[/]

    []Now can be used with mouse[/]

    ===  Installation  ===

    Install: Unpack the ZIP file into your Fallout 3 folder. A better_camera_for_controller.ini file with all settings will be created after the first launch.

    Uninstall: Remove Data/fose/plugins/better_camera_for_controller.dll from your Fallout 3 folder.

    Also ensure fXenonVertLookSpeed is set to 1200. 0 and fXenonHorizLookSpeed is set to 1500. 0 in FalloutPrefs.ini (or simply delete these lines from the ini)

    Update: If you're updating from an older version, you can start the game once and new settings will appear in the mod ini file. Or just delete better_camera_for_controller.ini before updating to reset  to mod defaults (Recommended)

    ===  Update 1. 4  ===

    • []Added mouse support (g_Mouse=1)

      Now when using a mouse, the mod swaps standard fixed sensitivity multipliers (ADS/Scope) for a zoom-dependent scale. All main mod settings now apply to the mouse just like they do for the controller.[/]

      []Added several 3rd person camera modes (g_TpsCamType = [ 0 - Centered, 1 - Raised, 2 - Eye Level, 3 - Vanilla ] )[/]

      []Added zoom speed selection (g_ZoomSpeed)[/]

      []Added g_offsetRX and g_offsetRY for manual stick calibration[/]

      []Added g_MouseScale and g_ControllerScale parameters[/]

      []g_FovBasedScale replaced by g_ZoomSensScale[/]

      []Some of the new options are now available in the in-game settings[/]

      []Compatibility settings are moved to a new category[/]

      []Mod renamed to Better Camera Controls[/]
