Photo mode, free movement of the camera for a video

[Wargram]

Hello, i dont know if this has been posted or if I should do it right here, I'm new and I'm not really sure about both.

What I want is to move the camera freely to make a video tribute to this game.

These 2 weeks have been wonderful and I want to make a video where I put all the emotions I have regarding the good time I've had here.

Is it possible to move the camera as if it were photo mode or is this unlikely?

Thanks.

Yes.

Menu>Options>Control enable free camera movement

 

then go into keymapping to set what buttons control camera movement

... you know, I haven't checked recently. Are demorecord and demoplay still functioning? I seem to recall an issue with playback some time ago...

They still function.

Welcome to the best old game ever made.  Glad you found Homecoming.  Yes, the customization... There are limits, yet compared to other games?  Heh.

Exactly, these old graphics make me very nostalgic, but when you enter gameplay and possibilities, all the options that CoH offers are incredible compared to almost any modern game.

Just insane levels of customization.  I mean look at the forums.  Even here you can use an accordion to record your responses.

I remember reading somewhere that people that take a lot of photos often create a second account and make a character as small as possible and also give them flight so they can be the photographer and get the camera angle "just right".  I've not done that, as I don't take that many screenshots / photos / videos, but it may help you accomplish what you are trying to do.

i also wish the demorecord editing tools that cryptic developed for STO were compatible with CoH.  by now you figured out the f2 thing with the camera controls i think, but where they took it with star trek online is far beyond where they left it with CoH.
