Focus adds a proper lock-on system for third-person combat, with a camera that stays centered on your target and makes fights feel a lot more deliberate.


Focus also helps fix one of the big annoyances with third-person combat by supporting a corrected crosshair, so aiming and hit feedback feel much more consistent while locked on.
On top of that, you can also:


Lock On Target - V
Swap Shoulder - X
Open Camera Editor - F6
Adjust Camera Offsets (same default controls as Shoulder Surfing Reloaded)
These can be used while locked on, or while previewing in the camera editor:
Page UpPage DownUp ArrowDown ArrowLeft ArrowRight Arrow

Focus currently has native compatibility with Shoulder Surfing Reloaded as an optional dependency.
Disable "Decoupled camera" in the 'Camera' section of the client config for **SHOULDER SURFING**. As of [1.0.0-beta.2], the decoupled camera doesn't play well with focus. I'm working on proper integration for this :P
Support for other mods is also planned, including:
If there's a specific mod you would like compatibility with, open an issue in the GitHub repo.
Note: These mods have NOT been tested yet.
Please don’t report issues to those developers. Report any bugs to the GitHub or via Discord DM (ijvn).


The camera system in Focus derives from Exopandora's port of Sabar's mod, Shoulder Surfing Reloaded, with further modifications made for Focus.
