Rear View Camera

See what is coming from behind - and dodge it. A small live rear-view window sits under your minimap, and holding one key shows the view behind you on the whole screen. Your character keeps facing forward the whole time.

Client-only: install it on your own game; servers and other players do not need it.

Features

• Small rear view under the minimap (16:9, 640x360 to 960x540 screen pixels, default 800x450), shown with a toggle or while a key is held.
• Full-screen rear view while a second key is held (rendered at up to 1080p and scaled to your screen).
• Status effects: the small window moves below the status-effect icons, sits behind them, or covers them - your choice. It follows where the icons really are, also when another mod moves them.
• Out of the way when needed: hidden while the inventory, the menu, a loading screen or the hidden HUD (Ctrl+F3) is up, and back afterwards. On the large map it can only be closed, not opened. While chat, the console or a text field is open, the keys do nothing.
• Looks like your game: the rear camera uses the game camera's settings and colour grading.
• Animals right behind you: the camera rises over a creature standing between you and the rear camera.
• Key check: if another mod or the game already uses one of the rear-view keys, Home (small window) or End (full screen) is used for that session and a message tells you which mod. If those are taken too, a note on the left says so when you press the key.
• Light on performance: nothing is rendered while the rear view is hidden; while the game is paused the last picture stays.
• Every setting applies at once while you play (config file or Configuration Manager).

Multiplayer

Client-only: nothing is synced, and the server and other players do not need the mod.

Notes

• If the rear view runs into repeated errors it first drops the colour grading, then uses a plain camera, and finally switches itself off until the game is restarted. A note on the left tells you when you press the key.
• Text from other mods drawn under the minimap may overlap the small window; move it with OffsetX / OffsetY.
