FreecamMod

A detachable free camera for Gang Beasts.

Install

Drop the folder into your Gang Beasts Mods folder. Requires MelonLoader (it's declared as a dependency, so Thunderstore installs it for you).

Controls

Multiplayer

This mod is purely local. It has no network code, so it cannot affect anyone else's game.

• Free camera, look, zoom and ortho all work in multiplayer.
• F3 and F4 are disabled while a multiplayer session is detected. They change Unity's global timeScale, which also drives physics, animation and the netcode tick, so using them in a match risks a desync. They come back automatically once you leave.
• F2 only hides gameplay HUD. Lobby, party, invite and menu canvases are deliberately left alone so you can always ready up and leave a match.

Notes

• A frozen game is a fully stopped game: with F3 on you cannot jump or fall. Use F4 slow motion if you want to keep moving.
• Time controls are released automatically on scene change and on exit, so the game can never be left stuck in slow motion.
• If something goes wrong, the mod restores everything it touched and disables itself rather than letting the game crash. Check MelonLoader\Latest.log.

Changelog

1.1.0

• Added the missing LavaGang-MelonLoader-0.7.3 dependency. Without it the mod could load on a machine that already had MelonLoader and fail on a clean one.
• Fixed a permanently broken game: freezing time and then toggling the camera off left timeScale at 0 with no way back short of restarting.
• Time controls are no longer applied when the free camera is off.
• Time controls now reset on scene change and are disabled in multiplayer.
• F2 no longer hides lobby/party/menu canvases, which could leave players unable to ready up or leave a match.
• Fixed black screens after a scene change: cameras are now tracked and reliably restored, and a lost free camera is rebuilt.
• Camera.main lookups are guarded; scenes with multiple MainCamera tags no longer throw.
• Avoids adding a second UniversalAdditionalCameraData component.
• Every callback is wrapped in error handling, and repeated failures now disable the mod instead of spamming errors every frame.
• Only canvases the mod itself switched off are ever switched back on.
