August 1st Update Is Here!
Hey guys, pretty big update here.
The cameras are now separated into categories, since many new cameras were added.
Chest, Shoulder, and Head cameras are now accessible at any time, both on foot and in vehicle by a key press, and they are no longer a part of the regular list that you cycle through with V. The default controls to switch through the Body Cameras are DEL, END, and PAGE DOWN. Of course, you can modify them via Controls.ini located in the ViewPointV folder.
Here are the currently available cameras and the categories they are in:
Body Cameras (only available via a key press, not a part of the on foot/in vehicle cameras cycle)
ViewPointV: Chest Camera
ViewPointV: Shoulder Camera
ViewPointV: Head Camera
On Foot Cameras (only available when walking on foot, switch using Switch Control (V for keyboard users))
Default Game Cameras (Close/Mid/Far/FP)
ViewPointV: First Person Camera
ViewPointV: Third Person Camera
ViewPointV: On Foot Classic GTA Top Down View Camera [NEW]
Car Cameras (only available when driving a car, switch using Switch Control (V for keyboard users))
Default Game Cameras (Close/Mid/Far/FP)
ViewPointV: On Foot First Person Camera
ViewPointV: On Foot Third Person Camera
ViewPointV: On Foot Classic GTA Top Down View Camera [NEW]
Motorcycle Cameras (only available when riding a bike, switch using Switch Control (V for keyboard users))
Default Game Cameras (Close/Mid/Far/FP)
ViewPointV: Motorcycle First Person Camera [NEW]
ViewPointV: Motorcycle Chase Camera [NEW]
ViewPointV: Motorcycle Cinematic Chase Camera [NEW]
ViewPointV: Motorcycle Classic GTA Top Down View Camera [NEW]
Helicopter Cameras (only available when flying a helicopter, switch using Switch Control (V for keyboard users))
Default Game Cameras (Close/Mid/Far/FP)
ViewPointV: Helicopter First Person Camera [NEW]
ViewPointV: Helicopter Chase Camera [NEW]
ViewPointV: Helicopter Cinematic Chase Camera [NEW]
ViewPointV: Helicopter Dash Camera [NEW]
ViewPointV: Helicopter Classic GTA Top Down View Camera [NEW]
Plane Cameras (only available when flying a plane, switch using Switch Control (V for keyboard users))
Default Game Cameras (Close/Mid/Far/FP)
ViewPointV: Plane First Person Camera [NEW]
ViewPointV: Plane Chase Camera [NEW]
ViewPointV: Plane Cinematic Chase Camera [NEW]
ViewPointV: Plane Dash Camera [NEW]
ViewPointV: Plane Classic GTA Top Down View Camera [NEW]
On Event Cameras (automatic cameras that are triggered on certain events)
Vehicle Entry Cameras
ViewPointV: Victim's First Person Camera [NEW]
ViewPointV: Cinematic Angles Camera [NEW]
The On Events Cameras is a new category, it currently only has the Vehicle Entry Event that contains 2 cameras and, but more are coming soon!
On Event Cameras are basically scripted transition cameras that are triggered on certain events for about 2-3 seconds.
When an event occurs (for example Vehicle Entry), ViewPointV will select a random camera from those that you checked in the list.
Decheck all of them to completely disable Vehicle Entry Cameras.
Cameras from different categories with similar names are still different cameras with their own settings. They share a big part of the logic, but were also tweaked specifically for their corresponding category. That means that modifying settings of one, for example the Helicopter First Person Camera, the settings of another, for example the Car First Person Camera will not be changed, even if you're modifying Global Settings.
Other changes:
General
Added ability to toggle mod off at any time using a key, for compatibility with free cam mods etc. Just press the key and the mod will be completely disabled. (INSERT KEY by default, modify key in Controls.ini)
Fixed "FileNotFound exception"
Added ability to force 3rd person audio for body cameras and first person camera for those who have custom weapon mods that do not have proper 1st person audio

On Foot First Person Camera
Fixed camera detaching while entering a vehicle
Improved camera behavior on reload, when Video Stabilization is disabled

Aiming should be more comfortable now (both for when Video Stabilization is On and when it's Off)

My context hints don't show up when I have this installed, is there anyway to have them turn back on?
Known bug, already fixed in the coming update. Will release in q couple days
Hello, after some time playing it works mostly great and the new additions are awesome. Just a couple bugs I have experienced in my time: -Frequent involuntary camera switches (to cameras I would even have disabled) -Switching to random aiming cameras that were disabled in menu and had to go recheck and uncheck it to temp fix. -Motorcycle camera first person (no current option to disable) aiming reticle still visible, and no separate menu for it. Would love for this one to get fixed as I don't believe it was visible in the previous update -Random (almost blur/timecycle Camera effects occur randomly even after disabling) Other than that still real fun!
Hey, thanks for the detailed report. Can I ask some questions to help me recreate these bugs? Does the camera switch randomly without even pressing the SWITCH CAMERA key? Do you use Auto Switch On Aim? Can you elaborate on Motorcycle FP? It should have a separate menu for it. About the blur effect, did you disable them in CollisionFX? Maybe you are talking about the Depth Of Field? Try to disable it in the settings of the specific camera you're talking about.
brother i am confused. i loaded up the game and V wouldn't switch cameras. it was stuck on the shoulder camera. am i missing something?
The body cameras (shoulder, chest and head cameras) are toggled by a key press (you can change it in Cintrols.ini). If you need help send me a message
Fix the plane first person camera, it's bugged
On it
Hi, The g-force sensitivity in vehicle 1st person feels snappy compared to the last version so can this be updated?
👋 What do you mean by "snappy"?
Just tried out the mod, the weapons in first person take up half the screen and move all over the place constantly. The last iteration where it was like an FPS game with the gun in the corner was much better imo I can't use this. I guess you are going for the body camera feeling though so idk. I'd like to have the motorcycle camera without the changes to anything else
I was about to tell you that you can decrease the weapon sway and even make it 0 via the menu, but when I tested just to be sure I noticed that it is broken. I will release a small hotfix by tomorrow's evening (about 16-18 hours from now) that will fix weapon sway and other reported issues. You'll also be able to position the camera both globally and per weapon individually which will hopefully solve your second issue :)
