Key bindings customization
Key bindings are defined inside XComInput.ini file, which is located in [Path To Steam Library]\XCOM 2\XComGame\Mods\FreeCameraRotation\Config for manual install and in [Path To Steam Library]\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\616359783\Config folder for workshop install.

Here are several examples on how to customize mod's input to get the experience you want.

1. If you don't care much about fast access to free camera with Alt+mouse and you don't like using analog mode all the time, but you want to have quick access to free rotation, you can try this configuration: http://pastebin.com/Sca6ckGi You will be able to rotate/zoom with discrete steps using Q/E and T/G and use analog rotate/zoom with Alt+Q/E and Alt+T/G. You will also be able to reset to defaults with Alt+F1 and switch free camera mode with Alt+F2.

2. If you like Alt+mouse for fast access to free camera and prefer analog mode, but still want to be able to use discrete rotation from time to time, try this one: http://pastebin.com/qGj219es It keeps default mod's bindings, but also reassigns F/C (secondary bindings for ascend/descend floor in vanilla) to fixed rotation. You will also might want to set bAnalogMode=true with this one (in XComTacticalInput_FreeCameraRotation.ini).

If you have questions about particular configuration you're trying to create for yourself, ask away.

You put in all this work to explain this and no one has even said thanks? With all the complaints this shows how unappreciative people are! I like the idea of the analog being in smaller increments now (if I have understood correctly) so I may try config 1 at some point to see how I go. THANK YOU

P.S Sorry I'm a dumbarse and didn't even notice the tabs before! durrrrrrrrr me. :D

Thank you, @wasteland_ghost, for posting these example key bindings. Something about the Anarchy's Children patch broke this mod for me [Q/E no longer worked at all], but your example (1) fixed it.

it's not the patch that broke it, the mod was changed. Mod continued to work post Anarchy patch

So, I'm just not understanding how this works since it was updated for the latest game patch. I've tried it with just the base Workshop install and by copy-pasting the code from option 1 listed above. I've tried all the toggle hotkeys in every combination I can conceive of, but still nothing. I even tried to revert back to the pre-patch version from nexusmods, but now that won't work either!

I'm on Mac, and I'm wondering if that—barring my own, very likely humor error—has anything to do with it? I don't know. But, I basically can't play the game without your mod, so it's a pisser.

Try Nexusmods instructions for manual install. There were definitely updates to how Linux version handles mods, same thing can be true for Mac version.

Feral Interactive rigged something up that automatically converts all mod file names into lowercase, FYI, in case any other Mac user ever asks about the directions on nexusmods.

Anyway, I was having an issue with Additional Icons / Loot Indicator not working, and I figured it was some remnant from Numeric Health (which I removed because they are known to conflict). So, I deleted my config folder, verified files, etc. Now, both Loot Indicator and Free Camera Rotation work. Mods are magic.

You've made some excellent changes since the pre-patch version I was using! I literally cannot play the game without this mod. Thank you!

Thanks for the information, very useful! Good luck with your playthrough!

Can you just modify files so that mod works like in example 1, so people dont have to actually read all of the stuff and change codes in .ini files in order for mod to work. Thanks :)

You like example 1, others like example 2 and someone else wants a completely different configuration. It's impossible to please everyone.

You have my grattitude for making mod its not like I can complain for the thing I got for free :DD . My suggestion was that you should make one of those examples default since mode isnt working without modification in ini file but its ok..

That's not true - mod does work without ini modifications. Look at the default keybindings on the description page - they do work.

How I bind rotate camera Left\Right on Numeric pad?
NumericPad6, NumPad6, NumRight - doesn't work. Please, help.

.Bindings=(Name="NumPad4",Command="YawCameraFixed 1",bPrimaryBinding=True) ; yaw camera left (fixed deg)
.Bindings=(Name="NumPad6",Command="YawCameraFixed -1",bPrimaryBinding=True) ; yaw camera right (fixed deg)

Correct key names for Num Pad are: NumPadOne, NumPadTwo, etc.

@wasteland_ghost, день добрый, вопрос по поводу мода - не получается установить. ошибок никаких не выдаёт, в лаунчере мод выбран, но всё остаётся на дефолте. уже много испробовал. не можете подсказать, хотя бы как вручную выставить поворот камеры на 45 градусов, может быть через стандартные ини*шные конфиги? поставить полноценный мод уже совсем отчаялся.
