SF4 Camera Man. Move the camera while fighting

renzen · 2014-08-22T17:10:44.000Z

My 3rd vid (and last for a while) is ready. You can get sense of vertigo from the beam moving on skyscraper stage, especially when on the edge! Lots of interesting perspectives with ultras (and ofc throws) actually hitting for gouken and juri

Beautiful! Especially that stage.

Have you thought about zooming out the camera, and keeping it slightly lower towards the groud, and zooming out to see both their bodies? I see it in a lot of fight scenes

like this? (note to self, offsets X -2.5, Y -0.5, Z -1)

call me crazy for saying this, maybe its just my imagination…but when I play online matches with this…I feel like a drop in input lag. its almost lag free with cameraman+SF4SO.

am I the only one here that feels theres less input lag with this while online?

is there something to the game’s native default camera angles between two players that cause input lag online?

fistoftheryustar · 2014-08-27T22:44:30.000Z

Actually exactly like that!

Problem with this view is you’re gonna see the “holes” in the background (left side of screen lacks texture).

Based on this youtube video from Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition for the 3ds:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSvOy_SqNVI&t=0m5s

I made a sort of 3ds view, looking like that ryu vs sagat match:

Here are my settings:

It works quite well and you don’t see the faults in the background (I finished Arcade Mode without issue).

And for fun I made Ryu transparent to test a rear view à la Punch Out!!:

(this one is merely for test as it has issues with the backgrounds, it works well but it’s hard to use left/right to go front/back :P)

Okay my game must be screwed or something. I had a fresh install today. Cameraman worked fine the first few times I used it, then I went to do some mod stuff with dantarian’s loader, and then steam decided to download the “public beta” update, and now every time I try to use SF4CM it crashes the game, whether I’m using the loader or not.

I think there was a patch released earlier today. A new version of SF4CM is up on my site, it should work again now.

StockyJam · 2014-08-29T18:32:24.000Z

I was ready to say the same thing as Gojira.
thx lullius.

Gojira · 2014-08-30T02:31:24.000Z

Thx, the new version works and doesn’t crash, so that’s great. Still having a couple of issues though:
-tab pause does not work anymore. Tried restarting the game and restarting SF4CM, no change.
-camera lock got really slow and stuttery. When I turn it off, everything is fine.

lullius · 2014-11-03T12:36:40.000Z

I know this has taken some time and I’m sorry. I just uploaded a new version now though. This one should work with the new patch.

CHANGELOG (v0.6 - 3rd, nov, 2014)
Rewrote the entire tool.
New look (still ugly).
New Icon…
Cameraman should now work with the latest patch of USF4 (as of today).
I’m now using a hook to move the camera. What this means is that Cameraman is no longer controlling the camera directly, SF4 is. It rewrites how SF4 works so SF4 itself is moving the camera. Hopefully this should be much smoother.
Removed some stuff, like the speed sliders. These may or may not be added back later.
You can now use roll/zoom/pause/next frame from both the keyboard and the mouse. Right and left mouse buttons are for rolling. Zooming is done with the wheel. Clicking the wheel pauses/unpauses. Mouse button 4 (if you have it) is used for the Next Frame function.
Added Free Movement and Free Angle to the follow camera. This way you can for example have the camera positioned inside P1’s head, while you at the same time can look around with the mouse as if you actually were inside of the character.
I’m not sure, but this version might work on Windows XP. I’ve not tested it though, as I don’t have any PC’s running that OS.
Moving the camera while paused should now work.
The bug where you couldn’t turn around if the mouse was at the edge of the screen is now fixed. Cameraman now captures the mouse when SF4 is in the foreground. To switch window please use Alt+Tab.
Changed Pause button to the left CTRL.
Changed Next Frame button to the left Shift.

You can get it from my site as usual.

Gojira · 2014-11-06T08:52:57.000Z

Nice release, thanks. I like how compact it is now and ignoring the mouse cursor position makes it much easier to navigate.

I was still having trouble with the SF4CM pause until I read the backlog, sorry for bringing up a known bug.
However I do have a tip: if you pause the game with Enter it doesn’t seem to break the pause/step feature of SF4CM.

Why hasn’t anyone used this tool during poisons ultra 1 booty smack to get better angles?

renzen · 2014-11-08T06:29:28.000Z

Uh dude those are some of the most highly viewed “artworks” on the usf4 Steam hub

there’s two near the top of the list. I’m pretty sure there was a 3rd, but somehow, someway it must have gotten buried way down the list

Hello, I’m new here, but I would like to know how to use your program, I just downloaded and when I try to use it with USF4 it shows an error, like this:

I’m using the latest version of Ultra, with most recent update. BWT, thank you for the program, it looks great!

Thanks!
I think the latest patch broke the tool. It should be a quick fix. I’ll look into it as fast as I can, but I’m not home at the moment.
