A minor fix for an issue with keybinding concerning rotate_up and down keys.
Changelog:
1.2.1
Fixes:
- Fixed an error with the config file. Where the program would mix up the binds for rotate_up and up.
Changes:
- Changed the name of the FORWARD, BACKWARD, etc... to MOVE_FORWARD, MOVE_BACKWARD, etc...
1.2
Fixes:
- VERTICAL_SPEED now functions properly.
- Fixed a typo in the code that stopped ROTATION_CONTROLS from working.
Additions:
- Added UPS, allows you to set how many updates per second the program will be running at. for users with 60fps+ monitors. You will need to tweak the variables in config.txt. As UPS simply changes how fast the program will run, camera will therefor appear to be twice as fast if you set it to 120 rather than the default 60 as an example.
- Added an Icon for the executable.
1.1
Additions:
- Added OVERRIDE_MOVEMENT, which makes the movement and scrolling controls provided by freecam optional.
- Added untested Gold Edition addresses. I have no way to test these as I dont own gold edition, only useon custom battles until it has been confirmed that they infact do work. You might otherwise risk losing progress on your save due to crashes.
- Added keybinds for rotating camera.
Changes:
- Higher sensitivty values now actually makes the camera more sensitive rather than less.
Fixes:
- Fixed inconsitency in speed when pressing forward and touching the top of the screen.
- Fixed EDGEPAN_SPEED so it has similar speeds as camera sensitivity.
1.0
Due to this version being completely seperate, earlier versions will not be included in this changelog as to avoid missinformation. Due to reports of instability from many users, I have decided to rewrite the entire project. While the general idea remains the same,some new features have been added to greatly increase stability and decrease CPU usage. The biggest of which is the fact that the program now will delete lines of machine-code straight from the games process memory while it's running, which stops the game from writing data to the camera position variables. In earlier versions, the program was essentially having a battle to death over control of the variables, and for some systems the game was winning that battle. In this version the games hands got chopped off.
This only happens in RAM memory so you don't need to worry about game files, however the game might crash if you're running an incompatible version of the game.
Hopefully this version will run better! Sadly I cant make this work for gold edition as I dont own that version, if someone manages to translate all of the addresses to gold edition then I'll be greatful! Otherwise I'll try to come with some solution in the future.
I would like to add that there is a small risk of crashing when running this version, though from testing it has only happened once.
Additions:
- Greatly improved stability.
- Decreased CPU usage.
- Much smoother camera movements.
- Much more user friendly config file.
- Custom memory addresses.
- Pausing.
- Less requirements on ingame options.
Not included:
- Control of camera orientation with keyboard (Kinda defeats the point of having freecam).
- Gold Edition support, I will try do something for this in the future.
- Some configuration regarding camera speed. This can be readded if people want it.
- In general configuration file structure has been simplified.
This version may give false positive malware warnings, I have sent the files to microsoft for verification. Until this is done, this version will likely give false postive warnings.
If you are unsure use the previous version.
I will pin this version once microsoft are done verifying it!
Is this standalone or do i have to install 1.0 aswell?
Yes it's standalone. No other downloads required

Make sure to use total war camera style in ingame options!
RTS camera causes a some buggy movement when panning to units.
For some reason, half of my army flee the battle either before the fighting starts or immediately after combat starts when using this mod. Almost like they have no morale. I tried it with the exact same battle with and without the freecam (this version specifically). Also happened with several other battles. Its the only mod or plugin I use.
Hi! Its probably because the ingame keybind for withdraw is w. Freecam is not aware of the ingame settings so you need to make sure that medieval 2 and freecam uses the same controls. Freecam uses WASD, and optionally EQRF for rotation controls. (These can be configured in config.txt which is next to freecam.exe)
Freecam controls have been made to work with FPS bindings per default. If you want to use something else then you need to rebind freecam to use the same controls as medieval 2. Hope this solves it for you!
Hello! I'm having that same issue except I know next to nothing about coding, going deep into file configs, etc. so rebinding the controls is a bit frustrating. My first thought was to simply unbind the "w" button from the withdraw command but I couldn't. Can you help?
Hi! The easiest fix is to change the control scheme of medival2 to be FPS. Which should make WASD be the movement keys. Otherwise you can rebind freecam controls in config.txt to be arrow keys as an example. You'd have to set them to VK_UP, VK_LEFT etc since the arrow keys have no symbols.
Medieval 2 is somewhat janky in that you cannot unbind keys, but what you can do is rebind a useless bind (Such as getting rid of advisor) to a key you want to unbind (Such as WASD). by simply setting the "get rid of advisor" bind to be "w" as an example, which would remove the bind from retreat

Is there a way to prevent the camera from leaving the map? I mean, when I lower the camera to the ground, avoid going to the ends of the world
Not currently, it was sadly an issue I never figure out how to fix
sad
Hey it keeps saying "Cant Open Procsess" whenever I try to pen it?
Launching as administrator might do it for you, its sometimes caused by issues with permissions and such
For some reason it starts using 25%+ of my CPU i7-12650H. The only way to prevent overusage of CPU is to make it to use the last core (untick except last one) and set priority to low. Is it ok that Freecam uses so my CPU resources?
That does sound strange, Freecam isn't really multi threaded and should only use two threads at most, so 25% seems very high. I'll look into and see if I can find any culprit.
Hi, i have a problem. Open medieval 2 and tab out, then ejecuto freecam.exe, but jump some error "MSVCP140.dll", "VCRUNTIME140.DLL", "VCRUNTIME140_1.DLL". I've already reinstalled the mod but the problem still exists.
Hi! Downloading and installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable should do the trick.
You can find it here:( Learn.microsoft.com ) It would then be the x64 version
