Observe

Observe

A mod that by default makes your character look in the direction your camera is looking.

You can pose them to have them look in specific directions using commands or controls.

If other players have the mod installed, you'll also be able to see where they're looking!

Configuration options

These options are available under BepInEx/config/Marioalexsan.Observe.cfg or

under EasySettings's mod tab, if available.

Look modes

There are four main look modes used by the mod:

• Default makes the character look in line with the camera
• Pose makes the character look in the given direction relative to the character's body. If the character moves around, the head will maintain the direction relative to the body.
• Environment makes the character look in the given direction as if they were looking at the environment. If the character moves around, the head will turn to continue facing the direction.
• Camera makes the character look in the direction of the camera

Behaviour explanations

• In Default and Camera mode, your character will temporarily look forward instead of using the camera's direction if you happen to use freecam or are in a dialogue
• Currently, only Homebrewery's freecam mode is supported
• The behaviour of the camera when looking at frontal angles in Default look mode can be configured using the BackwardLookModeSetting option:
• FaceBehindRight - tries to look behind over the right shoulder (current / default behaviour)
• FaceBehindLeft - tries to look behind over the left shoulder
• FaceCamera - tries to look at the camera, as if Camera look mode were used
• FaceFront - tries to look forward, as if /observe forward were used
• NoEffect - doesn't change the behaviour in any way when looking at frontal angles (may act weird during movement!)
• In Pose and Environment mode, the direction to use is set at the time of sending the command based on the camera direction
• For /observe [seconds], the direction to use is instead the one you specify in the commmand
• By default, your character's rotation range is restricted. Owl Mode allows full rotations, but this might make it
