This plugin overrides the default camera controls in the toolset and provides the user with new camera functionality and the ability to map the camera controls to the keyboard.
Features include:
General Camera Translations (+/- x,y,z)
Moving the camera parallel to the terrain (+/- x,y,z)
New mouse wheel control that gives some �intelligent� zooming functionality.
Future:
Better rotation controls
Locking the camera to an area/object and navigating around it
Book marking locations for quick return
Have any ideas? Post a suggestion.
This is an evolving project, feel free to leave comments and suggestions.
I'm not sure how much free time I'll have over the next month to update this plugin, so I've decided to supply the source. Feel free to modify the code and distribute it. I just ask for a simple acknowledgment in your credits or description. (To rebuild against the current patch, load in visual studio, resolve the references (I.E. point them to the new libraries), and rebuild.
scathsealgaire: Hehe, Enjoy it, feel free to modify it as well.

This plugin is worth it for the 'focusing' mouse scroll alone imo.
Simple changes yet very, very handy.
Thanks a lot for knocking this up B1llK!
In future you will:"Locking the camera to an area/object and navigating around it
"
Could you add a possibility to lock closest item (door, chest...) and then Tab from it to next one (just like it is actually possible to do with closest ennemy and Tab to next ones)?
Where do you dump the .dll? I placed it in the root where all of the other .dll are but its not working. _________________________ Dark

I do love the cursor attractor in your mouse wheel adjustments.
