How to use
Please see for details how to get started and configure this photomode mod, General features and configuration. This guide will provide additional information for the controls / features specific for this photomode mod.
Info
If you don't see the gotg.exe process in the Process to inject to textbox, please click the Select button to select it manually.
Additionally, if you're running the game as Administrator (you don't have to, btw), and the IGCSClient.exe does not, it can't see the gotg.exe process.
In that case, restart the IGCSClient.exe as Administrator.
Environment Adjustments
The Environment Adjustments tab is the tab where you can adjust various aspects of the game world. For Guardians of the Galaxy it allows you to control the following:
- Game speed
- This controls how fast the runs internally; a value of 1.0 is 'normal game speed' and a value of 0.0 is total pause. Use this to create slow-motion effects which help you pause the game at the right moment. Setting this to 0.0 won't completely pause the game engine as it enforces a minimum speed. To pause the game completely use the normal pause via
Numpad 0. - Disable DoF when camera is active
- This setting disables the depth of field when the camera is active, in cutscenes, normal gameplay and photomode.
- Disable Glare when camera is active
- This setting disables the glare / bloom when the camera is active.
- Disable Radial Blur when camera is active
- This setting disables the radial blur that's shown when you slide down a ramp or boost the plane.
- Enable Higher LODs
- This setting increases the details in the scene, beyond the 'high' setting in the game settings
- (Photomode) Freeze Look at Camera
- This setting works in the photomode and freezes the character in place after you've enabled the 'Lookat camera' option and positioned the head in the right position. This way you can reposition the camera afterwards without having the head following the camera or having it move back to the start position. After this option has been checked the Lookat option in the photomode is effectively disabled. When you disable the camera, the freeze is disabled as well. This isn't reflected in this checkbox, so next time you have to check it twice in that case
Information recorded with camera path nodes
When you create a Camera path, each node records the camera location, orientation and field of view.
