</>What does Free Camera & Hide HUD do?
Switch on Free Camera during normal play. The game pauses with Rose and the enemies stopped where they are, the HUD disappears and the camera comes loose. WASD or the arrow keys move it, Q and E zoom out and in (Page Up and Page Down work too), Shift moves faster, Ctrl slower for fine framing, and R brings it back to where it started. Camera Speed sets how quickly it moves, from 25% to 400%. Switch it off and everything goes back as it was: the camera follows Rose from the same spot, the HUD returns and the fight carries on. Leaving the level does the same, and with the switch still on the free camera starts again once the new level is running. Give Free Camera a hotkey in the launcher to start and end it mid-fight. Hide HUD is a separate switch that keeps the HUD off while you play, for clean shots and videos of the action itself. Conversations and scenes still show the HUD the way the game normally does. Nothing the mod does is written to your save.
</>What is Free Camera & Hide HUD?
Castlevania: Belmont's Curse has no photo mode, so this mod adds one. Switch on Free Camera in the middle of a fight and the game pauses: Rose and the enemies stop where they are, the HUD steps aside and the camera is yours to pan across the scene and push in close or pull back wide. Switch it off and the game picks up exactly where it stopped. A separate Hide HUD switch clears the screen while you play.
</>Common questions about Free Camera & Hide HUD
What does Free Camera & Hide HUD do in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse?
It adds a photo mode. Switching on Free Camera pauses the game during normal play, hides the HUD and lets you move and zoom the camera with the keyboard. Switching it off puts the camera back on Rose and the game carries on. Hide HUD keeps the HUD off while you play.
Is anything from the photo mode written to my save?
No. The pause, the hidden HUD and the moved camera only exist while the game is running. Switching Free Camera off, turning the mod off or leaving the level puts all three back the way the game had them, and nothing about your progress, items or settings is touched.
Why can't I start the free camera during a conversation or a menu?
The free camera only starts in normal play, so it never fights a conversation, a cutscene or a menu over the screen. If one of those is open when you switch it on, it starts by itself as soon as normal play resumes.
How far can the camera go?
About four screens in any direction from where it started, and from close up out to three times its usual distance, so it can't get lost far from the action. R brings it straight back to the starting view at any time.
Does it work with the Game Speed mod?
Yes. The free camera stops the game through its own pause, which halts Rose, the enemies and every other gameplay system whatever speed is set, so they hold still while you frame the shot. Game Speed keeps your chosen speed, and when you switch Free Camera off the game carries on at that speed.
What options does Free Camera & Hide HUD include?
Free Camera
On in normal play: the game pauses, the HUD hides and the camera leaves Rose. WASD or the arrow keys move it, Q and E zoom out and in, Shift is faster, Ctrl slower and R brings it back. Switched on in a menu or a scene, it starts as soon as normal play does, and again in each new level while it stays on. Off: the camera, the HUD and the game are back as they were.
Camera Speed
How fast the free camera moves and zooms, in percent. 100 is the normal speed.
Hide HUD
Hides the game's HUD while you play. Conversations and scenes show it as the game normally does. Off: the HUD is back.
Free Camera & Hide HUD is a ProjectMods mod for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse that adds a photo mode: one switch pauses the game, hides the HUD and frees the camera to pan and zoom, and a second switch hides the HUD during play.
