How It Works
The mod uses a native DLL to capture raw mouse input via Win32 API and injects it into the game's camera system. Mouse movement is translated into the game's cam13 (R-look) yaw variables for horizontal rotation, and vertical movement adjusts the camera orbit height around Banjo.
The mouse is automatically captured when gameplay starts. Press 2 on the keyboard to release the mouse (useful for interacting with menus or alt-tabbing). Press 2 again to re-capture.
Cutscenes, menus, and the game intro all work normally - the mouse camera only activates during gameplay.
Compatibility
- Banjo-Kazooie: Recompiled v1.0.1+
- Works alongside the base recomp's analog camera system
- Uses RECOMP_FORCE_PATCH on func_80291154 and func_802911E0

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
