Vlad34, turns out there are some problems with the Commands.cfg changes I made. Like LBA mentioned, arrow keys no longer scroll the map. Also turns out that arrow keys will no longer control deck gun elevation.

I've been looking at this after reading this thread yesterday:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=121412

and finally found out this morning what was causing the problem to begin with.

Turns out that I had a "Copy of Cameras.dat" in my Data\Library folder that was made before I put Sergbuto's mod on. It was either put there by MiniTweaker, or I made a backup copy before looking at Cameras.dat.

Either way, it was conflicting with the modded Cameras.dat. Seems SH4 will load any and all files it finds with "Cameras.dat" anywhere in the name. So it loaded Sergbuto's file with the cool freemove stuff, then loaded the old copy which still had the axis rotation stuff for the arrow keys from the un-modded conning deck camera. Basically it combined the new function of moving around the deck with arrow keys, with the old function of looking up/down/left/right with the arrow keys so that both happen when you press an arrow key - at least if I understand what's going on here

I think there was also a "conflict" in the 2 different Cameras.dat's that was causing the "shakiness" when panning with the mouse.

I fixed it like this: 1st I took out all the changes I made to Commands.cfg mentioned in my earlier post. 2nd I put back the original Cameras.dat from Sergbuto's mod. 3rd I deleted the "Copy of Cameras.dat" from Data\Library folder.

After doing that, the camera no longer rotates at all when using arrow keys, and the "shakiness" is gone when panning with mouse. Though the pan speed seems a little too fast to me.

Vlad, check your Data\Library folder, if there are any copies of Cameras.dat in there, delete it/them, undo changes to Commands.cfg and reinstall Sergbuto's original mod. Should work perfect then, and you won't lose any functions of the arrow keys!
