The custom camera, unlike the smart camera, does not swing widely around when you turn, and it stays at a fixed pitch, rise, and back.

Settings

There are three settings that affect your custom_camera:

  • camera_custom_back -- The position of the camera behind the cycle
  • camera_custom_pitch -- The angle the camera is at
  • camera_custom_rise -- The height of the camera

To make these settings permanent put them in a file called autoexec.cfg in your user config/ directory. This file is loaded when you start Armagetron Advanced. If you modify the settings through the console they will not be saved after you quit. Putting them in autoexec.cfg insures they will not be wrote over when you upgrade to a new version.

NOTE: It is easier to find a suitable setting by using the console though, so you don't have to keep logging in and out.

Examples

Please add any good combinations that you find!
