Third Person View Toggle

🎮 **Experience a new perspective in the bohemian medieval world! **

✨ Core Functions

  • **One-click switching**: Press the F3 key (customizable) to switch freely between the first-person and third-person perspectives
  • **Dedicated Keys**: Set dedicated keys to force switching to first-person or third-person perspective
  • **Smart Switching**: Automatically switch to first-person perspective when opening menu/dialogue
  • **Customized field of view**: Set an exclusive field of view (FOV) for the third-person perspective
  • **Fully Configurable**: Customize all settings via INI file
  • **Open source and transparent**: completely open source, the code is open and transparent

🛠️ Installation Guide

  • Extract all files in the compressed package to the game directory:

```

/Bin/Win64MasterMasterSteamPGO/

```

  • Start the game and press the F3 key (default) to switch the perspective

⚙️ Configuration instructions

Edit the `KCD2_TPVToggle.ini` file for personalization:

```ini

[Settings]; Hotkeys for switching perspectives (hex, comma separated)

ToggleKey = 0x72; key to force switching to first-person perspective

FPVKey = 0x4D,0x50,0x49,0x4A,0x4E; key to force switching to third-person perspective

TPVKey =; Log level: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR

LogLevel = INFO; enables coverage detection and automatic camera switching

EnableOverlayFeature = true; Third-person view angle (0-180 degrees)

TpvFovDegrees = 68.75

```

🎮 Controller support

Although the mod directly supports keyboard input, the controller can be used in the following ways:

  • **JoyToKey**: Map the handle keys to the keyboard keys configured in the INI file
  • **Steam Input**: Map controller keys to keyboard keys via Steam's controller configuration

🔧 Optional features

**Coverage Detection**:

  • Automatically switch to first-person perspective when opening menu/dialogue
  • Restore previous view when closing menu
  • Filter wheel input during overlay to prevent camera movement

**Customized field of view**:

Set `TpvFovDegrees` to any value between 0-180 to override the default third person view

⚠️ Known issues

**Camera and viewing angle limitations**:

  • The camera may pass through objects in third-person perspective (no collision detection)
  • Some game events or menus may display abnormally in the third-person perspective
  • The camera may be slightly tilted when riding a horse

**Specific scenario issues**:

Switching perspectives during a scene where Hans is carrying Henry could cause unexpected camera and character model behavior

**Recommended solution**:

  • Maintain first person perspective in this specific scene
  • Avoid switching perspectives until the end of the scene
  • Save may need to be reloaded if accidentally switched

🔍 Troubleshooting

When you encounter a problem:

  • Set `LogLevel=DEBUG` in INI file
  • Check the log file in the game directory (`KCD2_TPVToggle.log`)
  • Verify controller mapping is correct

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.
