About PounceCam

This addon attempts to reorient the camera to be behind the character after it executes a charge, fixing what seems to be a bug in the games camera follow behavior.

I personally hate when blizzard adjusts the vertical angle of my camera and run with camera follow style set to "Only horizontal when moving." Unfortuneately, charge type mechanics do not trigger the camera to readjust when using this style. This is particularly annoying for cat charge which can often result in the camera being off by 180 degrees with you looking at your character from the front.

The camera follow style "Always Adjust" does react to a charge however. This addon works by briefly switching the camera follow style when you charge before switching the setting back to the users prefered style. By default, the addon will try to help fix the camera for the Warrior abilities Heroic Charge, Intervene and the Druid Bear and Cat charges. The user can also choose to have it watch for Bear and Cat Skull Bash, which are off by default.

    Thank you very much for this addon. It has made pvp as a cat that much more fun. Works great.

    I am very pleased to see this addon made to fix the problem, but unfortunately it did not fix it for me (im using Mac OS10.6.8) but it did work for my friend that uses a Gaming PC.

    I have tried many things to fix this camera problem with Feral Charge or Skull Bash but none have worked (including re-installing WoW)

    Glad people out there are trying to do something about it just shame it did not work for me. Just wish blizzard would fix WoW as it seems the game is as Buggy as it has ever been since very start.

    I'm sorry to hear that this hasn't worked for you (though glad its working for your friend); perhaps we can diagnose whether my approach would never work for you versus whether a tweak will help.

    So, the first thing to do is to turn off the addon and then go into the games Interface\Camera options and change Camera Following Style to "Always adjust camera". Then go and Cat charge a targeting dummy and verify that the camera changes after the jump. If it doesn't then the game is behaving fundamentally different on the mac and I can't help you.

    If it did work then change the follow style back to how you like it and turn the addon back on. When we get the game event that you had successfully cast one of the spells we were looking for, we change the camera following style to always adjust and then change it back to what you had before after some period of time. We may just need to make that period of time bigger for you; lets go with 5 seconds since that should be plenty big to see if that was the problem. You can set that by typing in the chat box:
    /run PounceCam.db.global.CameraResetDelay = 5

    Now, try it out and see if it starts working. If it does then you you can just use trial and error (cat jumping from max distance) to find the minimum value to use for delay (you can use decimal number like 1.5 for one and half seconds).
