About this mod Machine translation

Hello everyone,

This is what I would call a "fix" for the camera being too close to the player inside a building or in a small area (perhaps with a lot of walls).

First Person AND Customizable Cameras (With UI)

🎮 **A powerful camera perspective customization module that allows you to fully control the view of Hogwarts! **

✨ Core Functions

  • **First Person Perspective**: Experience an immersive magical world.
  • **Fully Adjustable Camera**: Freely adjust the camera position via the intuitive **in-game UI** (press **F6** key to turn on/off).
  • **Fix perspective problem**: Specifically fix the problem of the camera being too close to the character indoors or in a narrow space.

🛠️ Installation Guide

  • **Required prerequisites**: Download and install the **xinput version** of RE-UE4SS, and extract it to the `Hogwarts Legacy/Phoenix/Binaries/Win64/` directory.
  • **Install this module**: Unzip the compressed package of this module to the `Hogwarts Legacy/` directory (same level as the `Phoenix` folder).
  • **Load UI (one-time operation)**:
  • Also requires the Blueprint_Apparate module to be installed.
  • Press **F8** in game to open the Blueprint_Apparate menu and enter `CameraUI` to load the in-game UI correctly.
  • **Reload the game** for it to take effect.

⚠️ **Known Issues**

  • **Alt+Tab**: May cause the game to re-enable input and lose UI focus. Solution: Press **F6** to close the UI, and then press **F6** to reopen it.
  • **Close Menu**: Currently, you need to click the **"X"** button in the upper right corner of the UI to close the menu. The F6 key cannot temporarily close the menu.

📂 Files and Configuration

  • **Global Settings**: Located in `Win64/Saved/Settings.json`.
  • **Camera Settings**: Located in `Win64/Saved/CameraSettings.json`.

💡 **Quick Configuration (Indoor Camera)**

Thanks to user **Meltus** for sharing the basic settings! If you don't want to adjust it manually, you can replace the following content with the corresponding configuration in the `CameraSettings.json` file (for example `"indoor_config 1"`):

```json

"indoor_config 1": {

"Y": -60,

"Z": 15,

"X": -215

}

```

You can check the currently used configuration number in `Settings.json` and replace `1` above accordingly.

🗑️ Uninstall method

  • Delete the entire RE-UE4SS module loader, or just the `TestCameraOffset` folder located under `Phoenix/Binaries/Win64/Mods/`.
  • Delete the `Phoenix/Binaries/Win64/Saved/` folder.
  • Delete the three `z_CameraUI_P` files (.utoc,.ucas &.pak) from the `/Phoenix/Content/Paks/~mods/` folder.

🙏 **Special thanks**

  • Fix patch provided by **pinguluk** to solve the problem of module failure after crash and fast travel.
  • Practical camera setup shared by **Meltus**.

🚫 **Important Statement**

Re-uploading after modifying this script without explicit permission is **strictly prohibited**. You can modify and use it for yourself and your friends, but please respect the original work.

🎉 Now, adjust your perspective and explore every corner of Hogwarts in a whole new way!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
