About this mod

Ever get tired of the pause menu being so.... useless? Ever felt like the Dragon Age camera would be way cooler? Well here you go, this mod allows you to enter tactical camera mode and move it freely around your characters to cast your powers on ennemies, see exactly where they are, and prepare your attack plan accordingly.

Tactical Camera Mod

Welcome to a new way of approaching combat in the Mass Effect trilogy.  If you've ever felt the itch to actually be tactical about things in these games, or if you've ever played it in Insanity, you know how constricting the Command Menu is. So I made it better!


Main Features

- Command Menu is now a Toggle keybind instead of a Hold.
-New Binding in Command Menu: Middle Mouse Button to enter Fly Cam
- Move freely in a limited range around Shepard, while being tethered to a max distance.
- Use Right Mouse Button to keep the original functionnality of moving just the camera on its axis.
- Go through walls to find your ennemies and plan ahead.
- Removed the annoying haze effect on the pause menu for a cleaner experience.
- LE1 Version coming soon!

Game Differences
LE2 is different from LE3 and LE1 in design and it will change a few things.
LE1/3:
- Enter Command Menu.
- Middle Mouse click to enter flycam.
- Click again to exit (HUD is now kept on while in Flycam for LE3).
- RMB to change angle of camera without entering flycam.
- To exit the Command Menu you must be out of flycam.

LE2:
- Enter Command Menu, you are automatically in flycam.
- Press MMB to exit of flycam.
- To exit the Command Menu just press your bind for it.

Possible Issues

There shouldn't be any real issues with this mod.  It contains a merge file to add the necessary script to SFXGame and a few coalesced edits that will modify the bindings. If you want to modify the fly cam binding, you can freely do so in the DLC coalesced. 

Disclaimer: Be aware this mod will mess with the normal function of flycam. It will restrict flycam movement to a tether radius around Shepard. 

ALSO FOR NOW THIS DOESN'T WORK WITH CONTROLLER.
