About this mod Author’s original text

ThirdPersonSelfCam

A lightweight third person camera for R.E.P.O. — for yourself, while alive.

Press a hotkey (default V) to switch between the normal first person view and

a third person view behind your own avatar. It behaves just like the normal

camera (same aim, same rotation, same field of view, same follow), it is simply

pulled back so you can see yourself — similar to the spectate camera, except it

only ever spectates you.

Features

  • Toggle first / third person with a configurable hotkey.
  • Wall collision so the camera never clips through geometry.
  • Your own body, held item and flashlight render correctly in third person.
  • Stands down automatically while you are dead / spectating, then re-applies on respawn.
  • Fully configurable (distance, height, over-the-shoulder offset, smoothing, optional scroll-zoom).

Configuration

After running the game once, edit

BepInEx/config/com.yourname.thirdpersonselfcam.cfg:

| Setting | Default | Description |

|---|---|---|

| Hotkey / ToggleKey | V | Key to switch first/third person. |

| Camera / Distance | 2.5 | How far behind the player the camera sits. |

| Camera / Height | 0.2 | Vertical offset from the eye point. |

| Camera / Shoulder | 0 | Sideways over-the-shoulder offset. |

| Camera / Smoothing | 12 | Transition speed between views. |

| Camera / AllowScrollZoom | false | Let the scroll wheel change distance. |

| Camera / StartInThirdPerson | false | Start in third person on spawn. |

| Collision / Radius | 0.2 | Sphere-cast radius for wall avoidance. |

| Collision / Buffer | 0.15 | Gap kept from walls. |

Install (manual)

  • Install BepInEx 5.
  • Drop ThirdPersonSelfCam.dll into BepInEx/plugins.
  • Launch the game and press V in a level.

Multiplayer note

This only changes your local camera. It does not affect other players and

requires no host permissions.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
