Current Camera Settings

The Scenes.json file will go in your UserData/Camera2 folder, the other .json files will go in your UserData/Camera2/Cameras folder. I use the Camera2 mod for in-game camera things.

1. Moved the Menu camera further back and decreased FOV, more of the center platform is now visible
2. Added a third person in-game camera scene for a channel point redeem
3. Re-organized custom scenes for better use with BeatSaberPlus's Chat Integrations
4. Assigned custom scene shortcuts to F4 (In-Game Firstperson), F5 (In-Game Thirdperson), F6 (Menu Image Wall), and F7 (Menu Thirdperson)

1. Brought normal first person camera forwards a bit, lowered FOV a bit
2. Significantly reduced the amount of positional smoothing on both FPV cameras
3. Slightly reduced the amount of rotational smoothing on both FPV cameras

1. Added camera to show the wall of images behind me, toggleable by the F6 key
2. Added first person scene without the avatar visible for use with modcharts
3. Added custom scenes to switch between various camera setups
4. Removed the block camera, felt it was useless now considering the main first person camera is centered

1. Reset rotation on in-game first person POV, now correctly centered
2. Adjusted angle of avatar camera
3. Camera layout now designed for 18.75% extra width to avoid awkward first person camera position/rotation shenanigans

With these settings, the desktop window is no longer sized at a proper 16:9 resolution. In the %APPDATA%/LocalLow/Hyperbolic Magnetism/Beat Saber folder, you should have a settings.cfg file. In that file, change the windowResolutionWidth number to set a non-standard resolution. I've pre-calculated some common widths that should match up with my 900p (1900x900) resolution.

DO NOT USE FULLSCREEN MODE.

In OBS, drag your window capture/game capture source towards the left so that the rightmost portion of the source is visible.

1. Re-angled in-game first person POV
2. Pushed in-game first person POV slightly further back
3. Rolled in-game frontal avatar view camera more to the left, should be straight up now
4. Increased menu camera FOV slightly
5. Re-positioned menu camera slightly

Assets/Media Files

I keep all of my menu music and custom sounds (commands too!) over in my public file dump. If you want to use any of them, feel free!

Here's my hit/slice/etc. sound.

Saber Grip

Everyone swings differently! Not everyone has a widely varied grip like I do, if you try this and it feels awful, then don't use it!
I physically hold my controllers closer to a claw grip (held sideways pointed inwards slightly) than a standard grip.

Game Overlays

Use these links in OBS browser sources for live in-game information. To change settings, append ?[arg]=[value]&[arg2]=[value2] to the end of the URL. (e.g. to flip the Song Information overlay to the bottom and hide backgrounds: add ?hideBackground=1&flip=1 to the end of the URL.
All overlays have IP and port options as well for multi-PC streaming setups.

BeatSaberPlus Settings

All of the commands that can output map information have either been modified not to send any map information, or have been outright disabled on my stream. Use the !bsr script in the Firebot section in tandem with a bot for map information.

The following files will go in these locations:
Chat/Config.json: UserData/BeatSaberPlus/Chat/Config.json
ChatEmoteRain/Config.json: UserData/BeatSaberPlus/ChatEmoteRain/Config.json
ChatIntegrations/ChatIntegrations.zip: Extract to UserData/BeatSaberPlus/ChatIntegrations/Import and use the in-game Import button
ChatRequest/Config.json: UserData/BeatSaberPlus/ChatRequest/Config.json
GameTweaker/Config.json: UserData/BeatSaberPlus/GameTweaker/Config.json
NoteTweaker/1650515904_Parrot.bspnt: Save to UserData/BeatSaberPlus/NoteTweaker/Import and use the in-game Import button

Firebot Stuff

Commands

• !bsr Triggers an external PHP script to give out extra map information. Some filters are applied to retrieved data due to BeatSaver's negligence, will say [REDACTED] when caught on filters. (see below)
• !r Gives information on how to request songs in Beat Saber/AUDICA (should automatically switch)
• !lurk Announces the user is... going away? Going silent? I still don't understand the point of this command, but here it is anyways. People use it. /shrug
• !modadd Command wrapper to give VIPs this command
• !pronouns Gives information on adding pronoun tags in chat

Wildcard Triggers

• how.*request, how.*add, can you play.*, do *.* pls, do *.* pleaseTriggers !r automatically

!bsr Filtering Script

I've made my extra-map-information script available to the public for those that want to use it. I also have it filtering data since BeatSaver seems to not want to. The code for this and what I'm filtering out will remain private as to prevent people figuring out how things work/how to get around it.
