Better Camera 2 + Hide UI for DOS 2 Definitve Edition

I made a little program for camera Zoom, Pitch, FOV settings and toggle UI visibility. Definitve Edition only.

Installation

Just download the archive, and unzip.

How to use

Start DOS 2 then start BetterCamera2.exe.

Load any level then press F10 button toggle between the 2 camera mode(better/default).

You can edit the settings.ahk to change hotkeys and parameters, just open in any editor, change then save.

When better camera mode is active :
- you can force disable automation zooming functions in conversation (in settings.ahk file)
- hold ALT and use MouseWheel for changing camera's vertical angle dinamically

Note: the second state( to default values) is reload all external resources, this mean you can change on the fly any settings, it is not necessary to restart the game.

If you set higher zoomMax value, I recommend set higher spaning speed in game and disable Dynamic Camera option in game.

If want to hide UI, press F11.

If you have advanced programming skills especially the AutoHotkey scripts, you can edit the
BetterCamera.ahk file too.

Warning!
Only work with the latest Steam DOS 2 version!

Yeah, I will frequently update to match the version, but if you got this message:
"Version mismatch, application now exit"

please will be patience until I publish the new version of program.

BTW I can recommend allways backup the working EoCApp.exe.

Thanks.

Examples:

Starting DOS 2 with Launcher

The Alt+Tab actions generate some problem for few users. I wrote a simple launcher - included in Better Camera 2 pack - to avoid this.

Just start Launcher.exe -at first run ask the proper path for DOS DE EoCApp.exe ( <DOS INSTALL PATH>Divinity Original Sin 2\DefEd\bin\EoCApp.exe).

After menu loaded press F1 button - hotkey is changeable in Launcher.ahk file - this loaded BetterCamera2.

FAQ

Q: I got "Game not found" message when BetterCamera 2 loaded!
A: Use equal UAC rights for DOS2 and BetterCamera 2. If you prefered configuration starting Steam as admin, run BetterCamera2 too.


Q: I got "Version mismatch!" message when BetterCamera 2 loaded!
A: Wait for proper release or use older EoCApp.exe (if you backuped).

Q: Hey, why didn't update the Classic version? !
A: The answer is simple: Larian recommended using the Definitive Edition.

Q: Hey, why not using AOB pattern scan or something similar? I hate versions and waiting for the new releases !
A: I starting BetterCamera 2 support the DOS2 alpha release. Since they changing many structure - different pointer addresses - and program codes. Simply AOB isn't an option - and slow when you start script first - bc is very dangerous when a bad AOB scan based script write in your game memory.

For SOME other general problem
1. Allways use same versions. If different. please wait.
2. Only work with latest Steam version. I don't have GOG version. I don't have any cracked version.
3. Some antivirus program maybe blocking BetterCamera2 and generate problem. Give access, unblock whatever...

@Octopus Do you have a full list of instructions to get this to work?

[Echoes]

@retro ranger yes this works with mods, it's not actually a mod that loads with the game. It's a program that modifies the memory externally.

[Retro Ranger]

do achievements work with this mod ?

[Tyler Durden]

@Canoob thanks for the reminder, i forgot about that part. its been awhile sense ive used this...

[Canoob]

@Tyler, as mentioned in an earlier comment, any changes made to the settings.ahk file won't kick in until you recompile the main script. To do so, right-click the BetterCamera2.ahk file and select Compile Script.

[Tyler Durden]

@Mayamis i got the mod running using your method of using the older exe. but changing the values in the settings doesn't seem to do anything, the camera wont zoom in any further than the mods default value. im trying to find a mod that will zoom in extra close to the character for a more 3 person view. The better camera mod on nexus kinda works and will let you zoom in, but it breaks after you reach a certain point (leaving the first island i think) and then you cant zoom in further than default

[Canoob]

@Mayamis, as long as the mod is consistently working and the game is not crashing, then the popup is safe to ignore. It can even be disabled by commenting out lines 80 and 81 in the .ahk script (prepend each line with a semicolon character and recompile the script).

[Mayamis]

@Canoob I did all of that of course. I re-launched the launcher first time, made sure correct path is in path.ini, with final version of the game. EoCApp.exe version is 3.6.117.3735, which is also the value I added to ahk script, along with rax I found, before recompiling.
But the popup problem still persists.
Either rax value is wrong or it's smth else. But the new rax did do something because it made camera work in newvest game update, where as before it didn't. (partially at least, not perfectly, it's unstable.)
So it's weird. I think smth else in the script needs to be changed obviously for the newest game update, but only person who made the whole script and can check out newest game build can know that.
