Has anyone seen this before? If you press F10, it gives you a camera with no restraits, you can go anywhere.

nice this should help with placing components that are far away/blocked by other components.

In the arena, dumbass, I'll try it in the lab to make sure...

Edit: Thanks for wasting my time, next time, I'll strangle you though the moniter.

I've never tried it in the bot lab. It's good for arenas with lame camera views, like the DSL Blade arena.

also good for filming tourneys with special effects. like "riding" on a bot then hopping to another bot.

ill porbly do something like that for my tourny.
like the camera is actually fighting alongside the other bots.

It was made available in the 1.3 patch but in my experience it is only good for looking at the arena because it is too hard to use when your controlling a bot and the orbit camera is easier to control when all the bots are AIed, anyways. I think I added this to the wiki already but I may be mistaken because I have a lot of notes that I've been meaning to add to the wiki after I get them organized.

On a side note, if you have also have Firebeetle's cheat menu installed, you can use the tilda (~) key to open a larger version of the FPS window (F9) that automatically loads plus.showFPS(0) (this allows you to use the print command without it disappearing right away).
