yes, the speed that the camera will rotate. Is "pan" speed a poorly chosen word? Better terminology to use?

Poorly chosen?... POORLY CHOSEN?
HOW??? It's the correct term.

Poorly understood maybe. But, you can't blame the correct wording, for people's lack of understanding words...

Also just came in to say that the unlock of the BattleCam, is just pure sex. I've always hated the locked camera since i started playing.

I've been enjoying XICamera and want to thank you for your efforts!

Could XICamera be able to effectively lock the camera height relative to the character height, or perhaps be able to resync to a certain height with every lock-on or /command or something?

I ask because as the character moves and the camera pans, the camera tends to slide toward the ground and I'm constantly having to raise it back up, only to have it drop back to the ground after moving again. Shift+Up is now my most common keypress in the game :)

What would be the preferred behavior for the camera height lock.

Do you want a command that locks/unlocks or something that resyncs on lock-on?

I think having a command to lock/unlock would be the most user-friendly. Something like "cam zlock [on/off/toggle]."

It should save when you run a command to change something. I can look at it this weekend. Going to try to look at the the cam zlock thing as well.

I've noticed that on a fresh FFXI launch, the battle cam settings don't take effect unless I manually zoom in and out once after entering combat. Then it's good to go for the rest of the session.

I've not been able to recreate the battle camera loading issue. I wonder if I borked the settings file in the last update. I changed the order of some of the settings. Can you check you settings file to see if it looks correct?

As for the z-lock thing. I might have found a way to prevent the z from changing while it's operating as a chase cam outside of battle. Still looking into how I'd prevent it from changing in battle and transitioning between the two.
