Installing

ReFreeLook is an AMX Mod X module (not a Metamod plugin) and requires the latest ReGameDLL_CS and AMX Mod X already installed and working.

1. Get ReFreeLook

Download a build from the releases page, or build it from source.

2. Stop the server

Stop your server before installing or updating — whether this is your first install or an update.

3. Place the module

Copy the binary matching your platform into your mod's AMX Mod X modules folder:

PlatformFileDestination
Windowsrefreelook_amxx.dll<mod>/addons/amxmodx/modules/refreelook_amxx.dll
Linuxrefreelook_amxx_i386.so<mod>/addons/amxmodx/modules/refreelook_amxx_i386.so

4. Register the module

Open <mod>/addons/amxmodx/configs/modules.ini and add a line at the end:

refreelook

5. Configure gameplay cvars

ReFreeLook only matters when spectator cameras are actually restricted:

  • Set mp_forcechasecam and mp_forcecamera to the same value.
  • Make sure mp_fadetoblack is 0.

6. Configure admin access

Set afl_admin_access_flags to the access flag(s) that should be exempt from the camera restriction. See Settings for the flag list and default.

7. Start the server

Start the server and confirm the module loaded (check the AMX Mod X module list in the console/log for refreelook).
