[Request] Allow loading a camera position preset

Post by user1679 »

Request:

Add the ability to load a camera preset to the camera position dialog (CTRL+E), based on already saved ships.

Detail:


Currently changes made to the camera position are saved in camerasettings.xml with a template ID based on the ship type. This is a nice feature because players can set camera position for each ship type individually.. It would be nice to have a dropdown below the sliders where the player can select an existing saved position from another ship and have it automatically adjust the sliders. The benefit here is to allow the player to quickly position ships at the same spot on the screen without having to remember the exact numbers for each slider, particularly if they haven't been in a certain ship for a while.


Example:

I have a Buzzard that I set a position for and save. Then I buy an Elite Sentinel a few days later but don't remember what numbers I used for my Buzzard, yet I want the Elite in the same screen position. No problem, I press CTRL+E and click the new dropdown (that the devs. were kind enough to add) and select "Buzzard" from the list. The sliders move to their positions and I click "save". And because the method for actually saving the template hasn't changed, the Elite gets its own entry and the positions can still be changed later (or reset) independently.
