PeakSpectatorMode

PeakSpectatorMode (better viewing angle)

English | Chinese is below

A match-spectating / free-camera mod for PEAK. Provides a GodCam-style free-fly view, smooth player switching, soft follow, overhead player labels, x-ray silhouettes, and automatic compatibility with several popular mods.

All player-facing text is bilingual (English / Chinese). In-game text follows the game's language automatically, and the config UI shows both languages. See Language below.

I'm not a programmer. I can only use AI to realize my ideas. This mod is 100% created by AI (fable5&Opus5). Before its release, I had conducted quite thorough tests to ensure it would run properly, but there is still a possibility of errors. If this still occurs, I'm sorry. You can find me in the official PEAK Discord group.@-AIAE-(yomenoya)

Features

Core camera

• F3 toggle the free camera (GodCam)
• ESC exit the free camera while spectating
• F4 reset the camera near the local player
• Q / E switch to the next / previous player (living players only)
• WASD + Space/E/LeftCtrl/Q free flight (same as GodCam defaults)
• LeftShift speed boost
• Alt hold to smoothly slow the free camera by a configurable multiplier (default 33%); release to smoothly restore
• Scroll wheel adjust FOV
• X hold for telescope zoom
• Mouse2 (wheel click) reset scroll zoom
• Uses a configurable move damping (default 3) to keep free-camera movement stable

Soft follow

• Auto-starts after the transition to a player completes
• While following you can freely rotate, adjust zoom and nudge position without interrupting it
• Exits only when the camera is farther than the soft-follow max distance (default 20 m)
• A right-pointing white arrow is shown to the left of the followed player's name

Overhead player labels

• In free camera, shows each player's name + altitude, scaled by distance
• Labels mirror the vanilla nameplate style (same font, outline, shadow) and follow TimeTheme's day/night colors when installed
• A vanilla-style speaker icon appears left of the name while that player is talking (muted icon for volume-zeroed players)
• C 3-step cycle: name + arrow -> name only -> hide all -> name + arrow
• F temporarily show/hide all overhead labels
• Overhead arrow style options: Rounded Glass / Outline Glass

X-ray silhouettes

• When a player is occluded, a translucent same-skin-tone silhouette is shown so you never lose track

HUD control

• In free camera the HUD is minimized by default (hides interaction prompts, inventory, crosshair, vanilla names, etc.), keeping the stamina bar, top timer and top-right map

Forced death

• Alt + F3 hold for 3 seconds to force the local player to die (a quick way to enter ghost spectating)
• Automatically disabled when GhostSpectator compatibility is active (no need if you're already a ghost)

Language

• In-game text (e.g. the forced-death warning) follows the game's current language automatically: Simplified/Traditional Chinese shows Chinese, otherwise English.
• Config UI: every section, key name and description shows English and Chinese together.
• Logs: 0. General / Log Language (Auto / English / Chinese) controls console/log message language. Auto follows the in-game language.

Third-party compatibility

When the mod detects the following mods it enables the matching compatibility logic automatically (all are always on).

GhostSpectator

• Disables Alt+F3 forced death while in permanent ghost-spectator state
• Takes over the spectator HUD while the F3 free camera is active
• Filters out permanent spectators in Summit Roster to avoid fake heights

BetterPlayerDistance

• Temporarily hides BPD2's name and distance labels when entering the F3 free camera (avoids double-HUD overlap)
• Restores BPD2's original user config when exiting F3

Summit Roster

• Moves the progress bar to the right side of the screen (optional)
• Shows an indicator arrow for the currently observed player
• Adds an 8-direction shadow to the font for readability
• Fallback filter for abnormal al …
