Add Camera panning speed range for analog stick users

[Rhomagus]

Currently when setting the horizontal panning speed (i.e. /cam hs 10) it applies the speed to the maximum edge but there's very little variance between tilting the analog stick lightly or at full tilt.

From the center of the stick to the edges the zones are something like as follows:

(Center) Deadzone > Minimum > Medium > Maximum (Edge)

My suggestion is to apply differing speeds in each zone, something akin to:

(Center) Deadzone > Minimum (/cam hs 1) > Medium (/cam hs 3) > Maximum (/cam hs 5) (Edge)

In this example when the right analog stick is...

• Not tilted = No movement
• Lightly tilted = 2 degrees slower than default spin speed
• 50% tilted = Default spin speed
• 100% tilted = 2 degrees faster than default spin speed

By making a speed range you could create a finer control with an analog stick more closely emulating the game's native mouse camera controls.

A command that looks something like "/cam hsr 1-5" would effectively apply the behavior expressed in the example given, where the 'r' denotes you'd be changing the available range of the spin, the 'h' would refer to the direction, and the 's' denotes speed while the first numeral defines the minimum output and the second numeral defines the maximum output

Alternatively it'd be cool to define each zone separately so something like:

• /cam hsr min 1
• /cam hsr mid 3
• /cam hsr max 5

Or for folks that only want to type one line:

• /cam hsr 1 3 5

Hopefully you see this. I came across your mod when explaining my issue in the Windower Discord and when I did an internet search I noticed there was a forum post convo on ffxiah.com. Unfortunately for some reason it won't let me post there so this is my next best shot. Would love to have this functionality for use in Ashita V3 as Eden still uses V3.

Thanks and fingers crossed.

I think I see a pathway to accomplish this with Ashita 4. It exposes some events to get a hold of controller input. I've not investigated what kind of state values can be obtained for the analog sticks. Sooo....maybe?

I don't see the same events implemented for Ashita 3. I'd need to see if any of the better Ashita devs could assist with the enhancement.

I'm curious if a similar event could be found if looking at mouse camera panning speed. The mouse in XI doesn't operate like most camera controls work even on games of its generation. I'd wager that the mouse is really just an adaptation of the analog stick considering the game was originally created to work on the PS2. In fact, XI's mouse behaves much like XIV's analog camera.

Speed with the mouse can be relatively based on the initial mouse position or the character position.

Another thing that might be relevant is how the game applies a deadzone. Decreasing the game's inherent deadzone could potentially free up space for the usable tilt percentage multiplier.

Game developers will often add a large deadzone to counteract drift. XI's deadzone is quite large and unfortunately gives less room for finer control. Considering the game, genre, and intended pace of combat I don't necessarily disagree their choice but I think this mod serves as a strong base to fix some of XI's glaring camera issues.

If you're able to locate such an event, I'm curious if you could apply it to zoom in and out rate also. Zooming in and out fast or slow would be really cool too. XI's native zoom seems to be pretty static.
