After 3 months of developping LoLCamera and over 100 commits on Github, we've finally reached the point of something stable, usable and configurable.

Presentation
=========

LoLCamera is a project for replacing the in-game camera behavior of League of Legends.

It is similar to a locked camera, but instead of being permanently locked on your champion, you will be able to move according to your champion position, your mouse position, your left mouse click position, and the ennemies/allies positions.

All these parameters are configurable : You can enable, disable, increase or decrease each of these sensors in the LoLCamera.ini file.

Demo Video :
A demo video introducing each sensors has been released !

Why would you need that ?
=================

If you play constantly with locked camera, I strongly suggest you to give this tool a try.

The mouse movements are reduced a lot with this tool :

On the left : LoLCamera is ON (almost no camera repositioning needed) - On the right : LoLCamera is OFF (lots of noise)

In practice : No
Nothing is checked client-side nor server-side if the camera position is handled by a human or computed by a program.

In theory : Yes
This tool is against the EULA. However, I'm trying to get Riot attention so they confirm none can/won't be banned using this tool.

Launch LoLCamera.exe whenever you want, before a game, during the loading screen, when they game starts.

If you have trouble during the loading screen (Windows Vista / Windows 8 issue apparently), edit your LoLCamera.ini and set wait_loading_screen = 0

very nice work, looks very smooth and seems to be a good alternative to locked camera.
If u get the permission of RIOT I would give it a try, the IOGraph result looks amazing!

@tobtheking1 :
Are you sure LoLCamera.ini is next to LoLCamera.exe ?

It seems to be crashing during the loading of the .ini


I'll add some debug message if the .ini is missing anyway, I'm going to add that to the TODO list right now

Should work.. but it doesn't ^^

You're the first one with that kind of crash :(

I'll write more debugging messages and PM you when a new version will be released
