c3ca564cfc Minor addition toe SpectatorCamera. Added three chase modes to lazy follow. 0: Catch up until tracer is centered again. 1: Same but don't move if tracer isn't moving (camera moving when character is not is jarring). 2: Stop chasing if tracer is closer than lagdistance. Game modes benefit from a 'center camera' button but that doesn't have to be hard-baked into the engine. 2024-02-01 08:43:34 -05:00

25f1407228 Cleaning up implementation of isometric camera with optional orthographic projection.
All CVars, mapinfo variables, and playerinfo/playerpawn variables are gone.
A Camera actor named 'SpectatorCamera' is defined in warsrc/static/zscript/actors/shared/camera.zs

The following new flag bits were defined in the 'DViewPosition' struct for use with actor->ViewPos in src/playsim/actor.h:
	VPSF_ALLOWOUTOFBOUNDS =		1 << 3,			// Allow viewpoint to go out of bounds (hardware renderer only).
	VPSF_ORTHOGRAPHIC =		1 << 4,			// Use orthographic projection.
	VPSF_ISOMETRICSPRITES =		1 << 5,			// Displace sprites towards camera and don't billboard (drawn from isometric perspective).

Basically, spawn a SpectatorCamera actor with the appropriate flags and set it to player.camera.
See example template: https://www.mediafire.com/file/fv8rytayjt9l6g1/isometric_actor_wads.zip/file

Has been tested with multiplayer death and disconnection (and respawns). Not tested with portals.
Still only works with hardware renderer (mostly). But should be compatible with older mods and libraries.

c20a7f53c9 - do not report missing camera target if its TID is zero
This handles the case with setting TID of thing to follow after camera spawning, e.g. via ACS
