Our Modpack includes the GCam camera utility, accessible through Potato Spectator when you die. This gives you camera options you don't have in the normal spectator mode.

Jester2138 made a video on how to use GCam in-game.

Written highlight of the basics

  • Access GCam through the "Open GCam" button in spectator (defunct feature, may be readded)
  • Open & Close the GCam interface with "L"
  • The three different modes are:
    • Follow: Holds the camera in position relative to the selected unit while ignoring its rotation
    • Behind: Holds the camera in position relative to the selected unit while copying its orientation
    • Focus: Haven't quite figured this out yet
    • For following infantry, start with only "Follow" mode enabled. As infantry tend to rotate a lot, "Behind" can be very frenetic and hard-to-follow.
    • For vehicles, start with "Follow" and "Behind" modes. This gives you a much smoother camera.
  • To exit Gcam, open the GCam interface with "L" (if necessary) and click "Close GCam." This returns you to Potato Spectator, and you can navigate back to the action as needed.
