Focus

Focus adds a proper lock-on system for third-person combat, with a camera that stays centered on your target and makes fights feel a lot more deliberate.

• Lock onto nearby enemies and keep your camera focused on the fight
• Swap between targets with directional mouse flicks
• Swap shoulders on the fly depending on how you want combat framed
• Save your own camera presets instead of being stuck with one setup
• Use a full camera editor to tweak:
  • offsets
  • distance
  • rotation
  • shoulder behavior

Focus also helps fix one of the big annoyances with third-person combat by supporting a corrected crosshair, so aiming and hit feedback feel much more consistent while locked on.

On top of that, you can also:

• use target filters
• choose between different lock-on indicator styles
• enable cinematic bars
• make your player fade out when they get in the way of the camera

Default keybinds

• Lock On Target - V

  • Locks onto the best nearby target
  • Press again to disengage

• Swap Shoulder - X

  • Switches the camera between left and right shoulder

• Open Camera Editor - F6

  • Opens the in-game camera editor
  • Lets you preview and adjust your current camera setup live

• Adjust Camera Offsets (same default controls as Shoulder Surfing Reloaded)
  These can be used while locked on, or while previewing in the camera editor:

  • Move camera up - Page Up
  • Move camera down - Page Down
  • Move camera in - Up Arrow
  • Move camera out - Down Arrow
  • Move camera left - Left Arrow
  • Move camera right - Right Arrow

Focus currently has native compatibility with Shoulder Surfing Reloaded as an optional dependency.

Disable "Decoupled camera" in the 'Camera' section of the client config for **SHOULDER SURFING**. As of [1.0.0-beta.2], the decoupled camera doesn't play well with focus. I'm working on proper integration for this :P

Support for other mods is also planned, including:

• Controlify
• MidnightControls

If there's a specific mod you would like compatibility with, open an issue in the GitHub repo.
