Battlerite CamCrew

- CamCrew is no longer maintained -

Important notes

  • You can access the branch by right clicking on Battlerite in Steam and selecting Properties, then selecting the Betas tab and choosing “camcrew” from the dropdown menu
  • When you have switched to the branch you can no longer play Battlerite like normal. You have to switch back for that. When on the VR branch you can copy the game folder somewhere outside of steam; you will then be able to switch back to the normal game and still have the VR available
  • To watch a replay when you have CamCrew in a moved folder, find it in your normal Battlerite folder, {GameRoot}/Battlerite/ClientReplays. Move it to the corresponding place in the VR folder.
  • Game root is found by right clicking on Battlerite in Steam, going to the "Local Files" tab and clicking "Browse Local Files"

For SteamVR / Vive users

At the moment you cannot start CamCrew through steam, you need to open the game root and start the Battlerite.exe from there

CamCrew main features

  • Play around with the characters as figurines in the lobby
  • Find and start a replay of your choosing
  • Direct and animate the camera in a replay to produce cinematic shots of the game, displayed on the monitor or direct to video
  • Watch live private matches as a spectator
  • Control the camera in a live match and direct what is shown on the monitor

New features (14 march)

  • You can now overwrite sliding lens settings (Field of View for example) for a whole recoded camera loop. When adjusting the slider, twist the controller to have a small arrow appear over the handle and have the slider lock. This will cause the new value to be written to the whole loop. You need to let go of the slider to change the value again.
  • You can do the same with the quick-connect adjusting system. By holding the disconnect button until it releases, instead of pressing it quickly, you lock rewrite the new value for the whole loop
