I am seeking someone who is interested in creating a rudimentary camera recording system for Vintage Story. Specifically, I am hoping to make for something that allows for, at minimum, the following features:
The ability to move the camera to a position outside the character.
The ability to record, then replay events that have happened from the angle specified at 1. Or if that isn't possible: to create a second window at that angle that can be recorded.
The ability to hide the UI.
These features, with a recording software like obs, would be sufficient enough for rudimentary use.
Quality of life features:
The ability to set the start and end of a replay outside of the recording length.
The ability to set 'nodes' and have the camera move between them.
The ability to export the video
The ability to change the pitch and yaw of the camera, and make way-points to change the trajectory of the camera. An example mod: https://mods.vintagestory.at/cinematiccamera
I'll just link this video on other options here too.
As stated, I am willing to pay for the creation of this. I am open to offers, but am going to offer a starting price of $30 USD, but I can go up to $50 USD depending on the QOL features added. Payment will be paypal. You will be paid half upfront, and half upon completion.
This mod will be licensed under CC-BY-SA with credit being given to the modmaker. See below for details on that:
This is more just to ensure that no one forces people to pay for this down the line. A mod like this should be free to use, always and eternally.
How to apply
Simply leave a comment with your modding experience. Given the nature of how I'm paying, I'm only going to consider those who can prove they are capable of modding VS. Those without a resume may apply, but you will be expected to provide a 'proof of concept'. Namely: that you can implement at least one of the core features required. Please include that proof in your comment when you apply. A video is fine, if you're worried about theft.
Why do I want this?
I run a small VS youtube channel. I like making time-lapses. Alas they're not exactly possible in VS currently except without a second account/second pc/parallel universes.
