Camera Preset not working - Nightly b3363

[prime jetty]

I'm usually using The Band 4 camera preset, but i've noticed that it put automatically the default one always. I've also tried to use different presets, but still it doesn't work.

Are you sure you're setting them properly? Meaning setting them as your camera preset in Profiles and not just selecting them in the editor in Settings

[prime jetty]

Of course, they're properly set in the profiles section

Edit: ok, I'm an idiot. Checked again the profile section and indeed that's the thing I mainly needed to change 🙂

Same here. Just tested it out. It was set to default and it seemed like it's too small so I started to change camera presets and confirming after selection. Nothing changed. I tried all of the presets and despite one being set, it always looks like it's set to default.

[prime jetty]

I still select this on the Profile Section, but still I have the wrong one 🙁

[prime jetty]

I've found the problem. It simply doesn't work for some reason in my Ultrawide screen. If I move the game on a 16:9 screen, it works fine. Pretty weird 😂 It was working normally some updates ago.

[humble jacinth]

can you show a screenshot?

[prime jetty]

Here. This should be "The Band 4", but it seems the Default one

[humble jacinth]

Here's a quick comparison of default on the left and The Band 4 on the right. The differences are subtle but they're there on latest nightly

[prime jetty]

As you can notice from my screenshot though, the angle is different

[prime jetty]

Still have this problem unfortunately. There is some bug which I can't solve unistalling and reinstalling 🙁 I've noticed that it does that only on the ultra wide screen. But formerly it was working fine

[humble jacinth]

I don't have an ultra wide but I can resize the window to be extra wide then try this. And I'll verify the code looks correct.

Does a custom preset work on ultra wide?

[prime jetty]

If it can help: I've tried to install the stable and create a new profile, and everything worked fine on my ultra wide. So probably there is some bug with the profile/settings?

Basically whatever camera preset I put on, it stays with this very close up view

[humble jacinth]

What are you expecting to be different about this screenshot?

[prime jetty]

The highway should be more on the bottom side and less zoomed, like the "Theband 4" preset basically

[humble jacinth]

It should be smaller?

[prime jetty]

Yes

[humble jacinth]

So you want it to look more like stable is what you're saying

[prime jetty]

Exactly. The thing is I've always played with the nightly, but there was an update that broke this thing

Lookign at the settings.json, I saw this: is it relevant?

[humble jacinth]

In 0.14 we adjust the scale factor of the track so that the track is roughly the same percentage of screen size no matter what preset you use

You can also make the track larger than that by going to pause settings - edit hud

You're the first person to ask for the track to be smaller though 🙂

Sorry let me clarify, in 0.14 we adjust scale factor

So if you're seeing a difference between current stable (0.14) and nightly then that might be a bug. The difference between 0.13 stable and 0.14 is a feature

[prime jetty]

It can't go smaller than this 😂

[humble jacinth]

Add a vocals bot

[prime jetty]

Alright, but still. The problem is: if I change the camera preset, nothing happens on this screen

[humble jacinth]

Ok then I can investigate that. And if it happens on stable too that would be good to know

If you add a vocals bot it will shrink the track

[prime jetty]

I had a more detailed look. I think the problem is the auto resize of the highway, which will make everything really ginormous unfortunately. But, since it is actually a feature 😂 😂 I guess I can't do anything for that

This is with "hero traveling the world", large as life ahah. However, thanks for the support ❤️

[humble jacinth]

In single player post 0.14 the track should cap at a certain percentage of screen width and a certain percentage of screen height. Depending on preset and screen size it will hit one or the other constraint.

Given that a preset like that takes up so much space on an ultra wide I could see the use for allowing the track to go even smaller than base when doing edit hud. So I think I'll try implementing that.

For now though try adding a vocals bot and it should shrink it. (Or any instrument)

Multiplayer lanes are smaller

[prime jetty]

Gotcha, thanks again!

[humble jacinth]

In latest nightly you can scale the track down to half size, in edit hud

[chrome fulcrum]

To follow up on this, I had the same problem (the highway looks huge with any preset on ultrawide), so as suggested, I used the latest nightly to edit the track size, which apapeared to work in the moment.

However, upon starting any other song, even after rebooting the game, the track now ceases to exist:

Not even sure how to get it back, honestly.

[surreal wigeon]

does hitting reset all help?

[humble jacinth]

edit hud -> reset

should figure out how to fix that bug though

[chrome fulcrum]

Haha, I'm a dummy, totally missed the RESET button. That does bring the track back.

But for sure it's a bug that shrinking the track on ultrawide makes it vanish entirely.

[humble jacinth]

if it happens in a consistent way, like you can make it happen every time, let me know what you did

[chrome fulcrum]

Huh, weird, I did the exact same thing again and it's fine now. The size change worked and the track appeared normally.

Sorry for the false alarm. Well, sort of false alarm. It definitely happened, hense the above screenshot, but now I can't replicate it, so I guess it's fine?

[humble jacinth]

No it's a real bug we need to fix, I just haven't figured out how or why it happens. I think it has to do with editing hud while the track is moving, idk
