Horizon-camera Pitch?

[Akodis]

I want to add a camera setting for static screenshots only, probably with a maximum height of about 20 (standard minimum of 2) but I'm confused by the pitch numbers in the already existing camera settings. The negative numbers make no sense to me.

What pitch would I enter for a camera aimed at the horizon? Also, how much demand would this put on system resources?

Not exactly. I have trouble getting the camera to flip horizontal. The zoom works fine though, and actually shows the entire map area when zoomed out, and goes underground to the water table when zoomed all the way in. I want a horizontal-only camera setting for screenshots only (not construction or management)

Your mod is well done, and thanks for doing it, but I need a separate camera setting for horizontal shots.

If you add this to CameraSettings.xml in Data\XMLDb\UI\CameraSettings

<Camera_Mode name="CAMERA_TYPE_8_SCREENSHOT" EdgeBuffer="0" cpu="3.0" mem="1500" >
<!-- Minimum and maximum distance of camera from ground -->
<Height min="1" max="20" />
<!-- Minimum and maximum camera zoom -->
<Zoom min="1" max="100" />
<!-- Minimum and maximum pitch of camera -->
<Pitch min="20" max="0" />
</Camera_Mode>


and this to languagetext.xml (in Data\localization\en_us):

<String id="CAMERA_TYPE_8_SCREENSHOT">Screenshot Camera</String>


It should give you what you need.
