v1.1.0 – Modular Compass System & Theme Architecture

Rotate Camera 8D v1.1.0

What’s New

• Introduced a modular compass overlay system with selectable themes:
  • Classic Simple, Arcane Blue, Dark Metal, Parchment RPG, and Steampunk Brass.
  • Compass updates in real time with rotation and can be toggled from settings.
• Added public API for integration with external modules:
  • getAngleDeg(), getAngleRad(), getCameraStep()
• Added new plugin hooks:
  • rotateCamera8dAnimating (during rotation)
  • rotateCamera8dRotated (after rotation)
• Added per-scene rotation control:
  • New option in the Scene Configuration → Basics tab to disable camera rotation for specific scenes (useful for landing or overview scenes).
• Optimized perception and lighting refreshes for smoother performance.
• Integrated with Follow The Token Cinematic mode.
• Remove old rotating camera compatibility hook

Fixes

• Fixed compass redraw and synchronization under rapid rotation.
• Corrected rotation state persistence between scene reloads.
• Reduced redundant perception updates during continuous movement.

Technical Notes

• The legacy perception flag forceUpdateFog has been deprecated in Foundry v13.350+.
  It has been safely removed from internal refresh calls with no impact on fog or vision behavior.
  The module now relies exclusively on:
  • refreshVision
  • refreshLighting
  • refreshOcclusion
  • refreshPrimary (as needed)

Compatibility

• Tested on Foundry VTT v13.350+
• Compatible with Follow The Token v1.2.0 and later.

Rotate Camera 8D v1.0.1 – Vision Fix Update

Changelog

[1.0.1] - 2025-11-06

Fixed

• Corrected a vision and lighting refresh issue that occurred when rotating the camera without Follow The Token enabled.
• Implemented a lightweight refresh method (similar to Follow The Token) to maintain proper fog of war and shadow updates.
• Improved rotation stability and performance during movement.
• Minor internal refactoring and cleanup.

Known Limitation

• Foundry’s grid layer still does not rotate with the canvas.
  When rotating the camera, the grid may appear misaligned or invisible.
  This is a Foundry engine limitation, not a module issue.

Compatibility

• Tested on Foundry VTT v13.350+
• Fully client-side; no database or system modifications.
• Compatible with Follow The Token v1.0.1 and later.

[1.0.0] - 2025-11-05

Added

• Initial public release of Rotate Camera 8D for Foundry VTT v13.350+.
• Adds smooth 45° camera rotation using Q/E (configurable).
• Fully remaps WASD movement to match the rotated camera angle.
• Designed to work seamlessly alongside Follow The Token.
• Maintains continuous movement when rotating mid-motion.
• Non-intrusive: rotation affects only the client view, not the scene or tokens.

Known Limitation

• Foundry’s grid layer does not rotate with the canvas.
  When rotating the camera, the grid may appear misaligned or invisible.
  This is a Foundry engine limitation, not a module issue.
