JDS Better Cams

Version 2.5.0 · FiveM client resource · JustDevelopmentStudio

Enhanced third-person and first-person vehicle camera effects: safe gameplay-cam shake routing, on-foot pass-by, driving bursts, and an optional scripted FP vehicle camera.

Requirements

• FiveM server with OneSync-compatible clients (standard GTA V / cerulean fx_version).
• No external framework dependency; works alongside QBCore/ESX or standalone.

Install

1. Place jds-betterCams under your resources folder (e.g. resources/[scripts]/jds-betterCams).
2. In server.cfg: ensure jds-betterCams
3. Tune config.lua as needed (see comments inside the file).

What’s included

Area	Script	Summary
Shared	config.lua, shared/bc_lib.lua	Tuning tables; session-safe shake, FOV helpers, scripted-cam pairing.
On foot	client/cl_thirdPerson_ped.lua	Movement shake + FOV; pass-by uses a radial ring + speed band → throttled cam shake.
Vehicle	client/cl_thirdPerson_vehicle.lua	Damage-based shake (throttled); launch / high-speed one-shot holds; burnout (dedicated thread, continuous shake while detected).
First person (vehicle)	client/cl_firstPerson.lua	Optional scripted interior camera (view mode 4), mouse look, FOV vs speed.
Exports	client/cl_exports.lua	GameplayShake / TriggerGameplayShake for other resources; optional net event gated in config.

Config highlights

• Config.BetterCams: disableGameplayShake (emergency off), allowNetShakeEvents.
• Config.PassbyShake: radial inner/outer, minVehicleSpeedMph / maxVehicleSpeedMph, shake interval.
• Config.DamageShake: body health delta smoothing, shakeApplyIntervalMs.
• Config.DrivingShake: launch / high-speed edge triggers + cooldowns; burnout RPM + gas/brake fallback, burnoutShakeIntervalMs.
• Config.Camera: first-person vehicle cam (enable, sensitivity, FOV, release controls).

Exports (other resources)

exports['jds-betterCams']:GameplayShake(intensity, shakeType, durationMs)
