Hi. Taking screenshots is pretty important to me in this server, and i try my best to get cool angles and scenery when taking my screens, but sometimes i feel like it would allow me to be way more creative with it if i had a freelook camera that can move anywhere. Sort of like in the map creator.
My suggestion is as follows: add a camera mode, activated by a command (perhaps /freelook), that would allow you to freely move around the map, zoom in close, or go far back, sort of like the one in map creator. While in this camera mode you cannot move your character. Also i assume somebody will try to use it to gain advantage at certain events ingame, so maybe block the feature in close vicinity to banks when a BR is happening, etc. Maybe add a restriction to how far out can you go with the camera from your character.
This would allow for more creativity with roleplays and screenshots.
Edit: In retrospect of the comments, its clear some people have reasonable doubts about this system, so i will add some solutions.
One problem is clearly the potential to abuse the system. Also a fact is that not everybody would feel like they want the complexity of such system so not everybody needs this. So a potential solution is to restrict this feature to a group of interested individual that have applied to have access, and in the process have been briefed about the terms of usage and punishment for breaking these rules. In case somebody abuses the system, they can be tracked down more easily.
Also obvious restrictions to usage areas would need to be implemented. Such as blocking the usage of the system anywhere near an ongoing bank-robbery or event. LWS and other event groups can be given a command to block the feature in the event dimension.
