Anyone got this working properly? I haven't been able to successfully utilize it. Any tips, if so? --[[User:RabidMonkey|RabidMonkey]] 21:09, 3 Apr 2006 (PDT)

:I looked at the code...it all seems right...what have you tried?&mdash;'''[[User:Ts2do|ts2do]]''' 21:18, 3 Apr 2006 (PDT)

::Mine don't work either. The map loads, hangs, and then crashes the game. NO SCREENSHOTS! help... [[User:MLSTRM|MLSTRM]] 15:29, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

:::I fixed it, somehow... BTW if your mod/level is multiplayer, give it a couple of dummies for the info panel to dissapear. [[User:MLSTRM|MLSTRM]] 19:08, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm curious by the usefulness of this feature.  Why are they used? --[[User:Molaughlen|Molaughlen]] 08:14, 3 Aug 2008 (PDT)

== TF2 Bug fixed? ==

I tried this out today, it doesn't seem to have the described bug anymore. Can someone confirm that the bug is fixed and remove that notice?--[[User:Henke37|Henke37]] 15:00, 23 November 2011 (PST)
:I tried it again later, it is quirky. It only happens sometimes and perhaps not if you are quick enough to dismiss the screens. Further testing is required.--[[User:Henke37|Henke37]] 15:33, 8 December 2011 (PST)

== Alien Swarm ==

In addition to adding <code>-makedevshots</code> to the $game_exe portion of the compile settings, add in <code>+sv_cheats 1 +r_drawvgui 0 +asw_cam_marine_shift_enable 0</code> to the end of it as well to remove the briefing window when the map loads and disable mouse movement from changing the perspective of the camera.

As a result of how the game works all camera rotations/angles will be ignored. The cameras will be in the standard top-down view at an angle same as a player would be. So just keep that in mind when placing cameras around the level. I just move them higher to get a larger portion of the level in view. Rather painful but at least you can easily take developer screenshots of the level as you work without doing it manually. --[[User:LoganDougall|LoganDougall]] 13:28, 10 April 2012 (PDT)

== Keyvalue Syntax ==

As a non-programmer I found the syntax hard to figure out, so here's a working example people can copy/paste:

<source lang=ini>MapCameras
{
	TestCamera1
	{
	origin	"256 256 256"
	angles	"-15 50 0"
	FOV	90
	}
	
	TestCamera2
	{
	origin	"-256 -256 -256"
	angles	"90 0 0"
	FOV	90
	}
}
