[Tool] LoLCamera : A new way to play !

[Spl3en]

LoLCamera - An attempt to improve the fixed camera
==================================

Original idea from /u/lappy74 :


Current discussion thread on Reddit (LoLCamera : A new way to play | /r/leagueoflegends) :


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 !

Sensors introduction :

Quick tutorial (see comments)


Discussion Forums :



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)


Download Links
============


[Sourceforge] Binary (.exe for Windows only) :

Default Shortcuts (configurable)
====================

Keyboard
---------

F11 : enable / disable LoLCamera

Space or F1 : Center the camera on the champion

F2, F3, F4, ... F10 : Focus the camera on allies / ennemies

Keep pressing X in console if you want to exit.

Mouse
-------

Middle button drag : translate the camera

Hover the mouse on an ally / ennemy : Hint for keeping this champion in sight

Left click on an ally / ennemy : Add an additionnal hint for following the champion in sight

Last words

I plan to continue the development of this tool and make it better, but I'll need feedbacks. Don't hesitate to post on the for any question related to this tool.

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.

How can i actived it? o:

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!

Let me know when they say if its okay to use it, looks very nice!

[tobtheking1]

No Idea how I should fix that :c

[stickzz]

good job !

@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

[tobtheking1]

 Spoiler

Should work.. but it doesn't ^^

[Spl3en]

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

[tobtheking1]

ok Thanks ^^
