Diff battle Camera/move ?

[sweetooth]

Oki, one of my characters now has a different battle camera/ move ability.

I don't know what I did, some key combomaybe, but now, and everytime I log on, when I engage an opponent, nothing happens to the camera.

No Zoom, no lock of facing toward the mob, heck I can run circles around a mob now and do straffing runs with my Wand :)

This would be Great for my WArrior, so I could provoke and engage, but still run back to the party from a distance without just backstepping.

So, does anyone know how I did it? So I can do it for my other characters, as well as tell the friends I know online, who would love to be able to do the same thing?

Oh, when Im in a battle, if I Switch to first person a sec, then drop back out, I am then zoomed in like you are normally when engaging, I'll test tonight and Edit this post with whether that zoom is also locked to facing the mob. If that's the case then I can just engage with switching to 1st person then 3rd again, to get the zoom and facing lock.

the same thing has happened to me once.
I cant remember hat i did exactly but i do remember it happening when i was trying to switch targets during a battle.
After the battle it was fine and its never happened since

I think the change of camera when entering battle is due to a function called "auto-lock" in the config menu of FFXI. Try switching that one off on your other character and see if it works.

And you can toggle all hte time whith * on the num block


Its also very nice if you targeted somebody but you dont know where he/she is. Press * and you will lock on the person/point.
