Update 1.1.4: added support for FR loc integrated directly into the mod

great mod, F1 upper left .. to .. F4 lower right
F5 full screenworks greatly

The down-facing camera makes reading the verb flavor text much more comfortable for me.

On my 4k monitor, I can comfortably see the whole table when fully zoomed out, but clicking on cards near the edges or misclicking on the table still moves the screen. I've bound the camera position to F1 so I can reset it quickly, but it would be nice if I could lock the camera in this position.

Update 1.1.3: updated the build to follow the game's updates

You are an absolute lifesaver.
I have a funky ultra wide resolution, and the default camera angle practically gives me motion sickness.

Update 1.1.2: fixed camera positions not being properly saved, leading to positions being lost when you leave the game

Update 1.1.1: small bugfix where on first use if you never touch the top down setting, it assumes it's on by default even though the setting displays it as off

New feature:
- you can store the current camera position to up to 5 slots using CTRL+F1/F2/F3/F4/F5
- you can move the camera to any previously stored position by using F1/F2/F3/F4/F5

Sorry, forgot to update this comment. I had an enabled ghirbi but it didnt stick (game crash) and I didnt realize. Thanks for ch ed cling back though!

You need to subscribe to and enable the gate mod (ghirbi). Otherwise it won't work, as it is a DLL mod.

Seems to have stopped working since the GHIRBI update. Option is in the settings menu but camera remains on a tilt.

No, DLL-mods only work on the latest version of the game, not on 2021.

is this work on classic UI ?

@Dino Del It only works on the latest version of the game. Remember to enable it in the Invisible Serapeum menu after subscribing to it.

Doesn't seem to work...

Hi Genroa! Just wanted to thank you for this mod - it's cut down on a number of graphical issues that were causing me crashes, and has made the game distinctly playable. Thank you, and I hope you have a lovely day. ♥

thank you for making this!

Thanks for the quick fix!

Alright, the issue of the setting not appearing was because I'm stupid and didn't include the updated settings file in the right mod folder. It should be fixed now.

For some reason I don't see the menu option to turn the mod on/off, but the mod is working and I have the top down view after installing/enabling. The only other minor issue is sometimes cards come back from verbs in their angled view instead of top down view. This mod really makes placing cards and organizing the table a lot easier.

soofrikken helpfulll

thanks!

It doesn't. None of the mods do.

does this disable achievements? I'd assume not but I don't want to risk wasting my current go-through XD

You...shouldn't have needed to do that, at all. But I'm happy that it worked for you :)

I did it! Copy your mod from steam mod folder (<...>\steamapps\workshop\content\718670) to documents folder (<...>\AppData\LocalLow\Weather Factory\Cultist Simulator\mods), and change config.ini by adding "TopDownCamera=1", and it worked!

Nope, unforchunatly didn't work
Where Steam place mods for CS? Where is folder or file for Top Down Camera mod? I want to try put the mod to \mods folder (for local mods).

The mods folder is for local mods. Mods subscribed to via the workshop do not appear there. If the line doesn't appear in config.ini, add it and set it to 1. Make sure the mod is enabled too, of course. That should be enough to make it work?

[FR] Genroa
In my "The Invisible Serapeum" Top Down Camera is in mods list and enabled, but in my "<...>\LocalLow\Weather Factory\Cultist Simulator" folder "\mods" is empty. In "<...>\Cultist Simulator\cultistsimulator_Data\StreamingAssets" is no folder mods either.
Also in my config.ini I didn't have line "TopDownCamera=0", so I add it and switch to "1", and nothing happened yet.
May be trouble with different than english localisation, but I switched it to english in settings menu and also nothing happened.
I'll try to delete game, and all its folder in Documents. I'll write back here how it worked!

The Roost tab is a tab added by The Roost Machine, another mod that is currently broken/buggy on latest (the creator is working on it). It's a DLL-mod to help other modders write DLL-mods (mods that do not add content but add features). Also, to change the camera setting, you can access the file config.ini in the general mods folder (in the main menu > Settings > Open save folder). There should be a TopDownCamera=0 or 1 here.

[FR] Genroa, hi! Thanks for the mod!
Can I somehow switch default camera on top down by editing settings-file or something?
Also what is the Roost tab in your settings menu? I don't have it in mine

I...don't think I enabled it by default? Or maybe I did? I don't remember honestly.

@MrDropps how did you turned it on, if you don't have toggle in option menu?

wow this is amazing thanks works like a charm i don't have the toggle option but that's fine.

This mod alone rekindled my love affair for this game. thank you for making a game i used to love enjoyable again

A lot of people do not see the option in the settings... This is weird. It should work on the latest release of the game, as I can see in my own local install. I will investigate that and try to come up with a patch.

THANK YOU!!! I have been wishing for this option ever since I started playing the game! Topdown view is so much better! I always hated the standard tilted camera angle, it just made things harder to read.

One issue tho: Topdown view works fine, but there is no toggle option in any menu for me. I have tried disabling and re-enabling the mod in the Invisible Serapeum.

Thanks again, keep up the great work! :)

amazing mod, working perfectly!

What do you mean? Are you on the latest release, or the classic UI? Could you give more information, please?

Does not work.
