Unsmooth the camera
« on: July 07, 2010, 11:25:47 pm »
How do I turn it off? I honestly genuinely really hate smoothed out camera/mouse/keyboard movement. In any game. When I let go of the key, stuff needs to stop.
I even dumped the console commands list (cmdlist) and searched it through but nothing obvious stood out.
So, once again, how to turn off the camera movement smoothing in battlescape?

Awesome. Thanks. Actually, my gut says it's one of these three, probably the rotspeed one. But that cvar thing led me to find these. (copypasted from ufoconsole.txt after entering the command cvarlist in console)

cl_camrotspeed       "250"
cl_cammovespeed      "750"
cl_cammoveaccel      "820.59"

EDIT: Turns out "rot" stands for "rotate" and not, well, rot (decay)... <.<
Anyway, it IS the cl_cammoveaccel, which I upped to 90000, virtually eliminated all camera pan speed-ups and slowdowns. Idk if there's a max value to this, so anyone out there might want to try more conservative values first, like I did.
