As of late I play oxce with a couple of qol mods in my zfold 4

[Robsoie]

various useful OXCE features, key shortcuts and QoL :

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

+When moving, you can:
1) Hold SHIFT when clicking on a tile to walk to the lcoation without stopping every time an enemy is spotted.
2) Hold CTRL when clicking on a tile >1 tile away to RUN to it. This increases energy useage and decreases TU cost per tile.
3) Hold CTRL when clicking on a tile adjacent to the moving unit to "sidestep" to the target tile. The unit will walk towards the tile but after the animation will still be facing in its previous direction. Useful for sidestepping around corners to avoid reaction fire.
+ Hold ALT to see visible unit facings
+ Hold ALT after using motion tracker to see revealed locations of enemies. (Reminder: only works for "motion")
+ CTRL+E to view the no experience indicator
+ Crtl+H to show the hit/miss log for the last "action". (This is not meant to tell you how much damage is being done, only if it's hitting / actually hurting the enemy)
+ Ctrl+M for Melee-weapon damage preview (pre resistance and armour calculations). For projectile weapons, see the next tip. The damage for projectile weapons shown is if they have a melee attack (example: Police shotgun's gunbutt attack)

+ Ctrl+B to reopen mission briefing during mission
+ Access ufopedia (default "U")
+ Kneel indicator now included (I think this is the indented kneel icon)
+ If holding unconscious unit in one hand and knife weapon in other, Execute option is now available (on the knife I believe)
+ Hold CTRL when choosing where to fire to "FORCE FIRE". This can be used to make a shot you know you can make but the game doesn't, or tactically blow holes in scenery for example.

GEOSCAPE
-"Predict UFO trajectory" option used to exist but is currently removed for performance reasons
+ T for targets of interest (lists current available missions)
+ CTRL+cancel in "UFO Detected" window will put this UFO on ignore list (=will not be re-detected again), displays the "Full reverse!" tag instead of "Abort!" in XPiratez when done right.
+ Q to open the Techtreeviewer
+ C to view global research screen (shows what research at which base and if any brainers anywhere are unassigned at a glance)

LOOT SCREEN
+ Auto sell feature. If items are set to be sold in the after-mission loot screen, in each mission after that they are automatically set to be sold (can be turned off). This is particuarly useful for junk items you don't want cluttering the base.
+ X to "Sell all". Can be used in After Battle Loot or Base Fence screens.



UNIVERSAL (In most menus)
+ Access Bootypedia shortcut (using configured keyboard shortcut, default "U")
+ View Bootypedia entry for an item with MIDDLE CLICK
+ In large menus of strings you can press q to search for specific items ("Q"uick search) (added in research, manufacture, ufopedia, stores, buy, sell, equip craft and inventory).
Esc to remove any written text (resets filter), enter with no text to remove quicksearch box.
In the inventory screen, you can additionally search for categories of items (Categories as shown in the dropdown menu in the craft equipment menu).


GEOSCAPE
-"Predict UFO trajectory" option used to exist but is currently removed for performance reasons
+ T for targets of interest (lists current available missions)
+ CTRL+cancel in "UFO Detected" window will put this UFO on ignore list (=will not be re-detected again), displays the "Full reverse!" tag instead of "Abort!" in XPiratez when done right.
+ Q to open the Techtreeviewer
+ C to view global research screen (shows what research at which base and if any brainers anywhere are unassigned at a glance)


BATTLESCAPE
+ Ctrl+B to reopen mission briefing during mission
+ Access Bootypedia (default "U")
+ Kneel indicator now included (I think this is the indented kneel icon)
+ If holding unconscious unit in one hand and knife weapon in other, Execute option is now available (on the knife I believe)
+ Hold CTRL when choosing where to fire to "FORCE FIRE". This can be used to make a shot you know you can make but the game doesn't, or tactically blow holes in scenery for example.
+When moving, you can:
1) Hold SHIFT when clicking on a tile to walk to the lcoation without stopping every time an enemy is spotted.
2) Hold CTRL when clicking on a tile >1 tile away to RUN to it. This increases energy useage and decreases TU cost per tile.
3) Hold CTRL when clicking on a tile adjacent to the moving unit to "sidestep" to the target tile. The unit will walk towards the tile but after the animation will still be facing in its previous direction. Useful for sidestepping around corners to avoid reaction fire.
+ Hold ALT to see visible unit facings
+ Hold ALT after using motion tracker to see revealed locations of enemies. (Reminder: only works for "motion")
+ CTRL+E to view the no experience indicator
+ Crtl+H to show the hit/miss log for the last "action". (This is not meant to tell you how much damage is being done, only if it's hitting / actually hurting the enemy)
+ Ctrl+M for Melee-weapon damage preview (pre resistance and armour calculations). For projectile weapons, see the next tip. The damage for projectile weapons shown is if they have a melee attack (example: Police shotgun's gunbutt attack)

Damage displayed considers:
a/ base weapon power
b/ power bonus based on soldier's stats
c/ power reduction based on distance
d/ damage distribution (e.g. 0-200%, 50-150% and so on)

It does NOT consider:
- armor of the enemy
- resistances of the enemy
- many secondary OXCE effects (armor effectiveness, immunities, non-heath damage, etc.)

+ Hold ALT when selecting where to fire a projectile weapon to see its potential damage displayed on the crosshair. Same considerations as CRTL+M. The reason for this difference is because the damage of a projectile weapon is dependant on the ammo, which can be changed.

LOOT SCREEN
+ Auto sell feature. If items are set to be sold in the after-mission loot screen, in each mission after that they are automatically set to be sold (can be turned off). This is particuarly useful for junk items you don't want cluttering the base.
+ X to "Sell all". Can be used in After Battle Loot or Base Fence screens.


INVENTORY
+ Bootypedia shortcut (see universal, "U" by default)
+ Explosives are un-primed automatically before dropping them during inventory management, unless manually dropped on ground
+ Select Avatar GUI inhttps://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=eqtf9asamdh92t9o8u1el1n562&/topic,6128.msg94105.html#msg94105 Inventory (with preview!) (same hotkey as for minimap, default "M" or right click)
+ Change armour with hotkey (default, "A" or left click)
+ See armour information (Middle click, most items bootypedia entries can be seen like this, works in most menus)
+ Scroll ground inventory backwards (shift-click or right-click)
+ Hold ALT to see potential damage range of the selected weapon
+ X to clear selected girls inventory
+ C to copy current girls inventory as a temperorary template (until you exit inventory screen)
+ V to paste the current temporary template
+ TAB to cycle to the next girl (same effect as clicking the next unit button). There is a user definable option to scroll to previous girl. (I use "d" as it's not used on the inventroy screen otherwise.
+ CRTL+LEFT Click to move item from inventory to ground and vice versa.
+ Global equipment layouts, more info: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4747.msg69139.html#msg69139
The gist is that F5 to save an inventory template to a slot. 20 Slots are available which can be named arbitarily, 1-9 can be acessed by hotkeys. F9 to open the load template menu.
Note that "Q"uicksearch does not work on the F5 or F9 menus.
+ Ability to remove all unused items from craft inventory. (Shortcut is CTRL + ALT + X, where X is the hotkey for "clear inventory".)

It works:
- in base pre-equipment (with a craft)

It doesn't work:
- during mission briefing
- during battle
- in base pre-equipment (without a craft)


BASESCAPE
+ Ability to enable/disable mind shield in base view (R-click)
+ RIGHT CLICK a facility to view the menu provided by the facility. ex) Right click the vault to see stores. Right click prison to manage your prison. (This is useful rather then sorting your Fence menu by people)
+ LEFT CLICK a facility to sell it
+ CRTL+LEFT CLICK to relocate it for 99K
+ MIDDLE CLICK to open ufopedia entry for building


CRAFT MENU (thinking of splitting into craft crew/equipment menus)
+ hotkey to de-assign all soldiers from all craft at once (key for clear inventory, usually "X"). Use from the menu where you select crew for a craft, not before choosing the craft.
+ X to de-equip ALL items from the selected craft in the equipment screen
+ CTRL + ALT + X to remove all UNUSED items from craft inventory (use from soldier inventory before leaving base, see INVENTORY)
+ I to open Inventory from Craft Equipment (uses the battlescape inventory hotkey, I by default)
+ Quick Load/Save hotkeys (F5/F9) in the Craft Equipment menu let you save/load up to 10 equipment templates for your craft. See https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5637.0.html
+ Show selected stat in "Equip Crew" and "Soldiers" window without actually sorting the soldiers by holding control and clicking on the desired stat in the "sort by" dropdown menu.
+ Shift+click to display sorted units in descending instead of ascending order.


MANUFACTURING
+ X to mark all displayed items as seen
+ Right click a manufacturing item to toggle its status. The order goes New->Seen->Hidden->New. "Hidden" items aren't visible in the menu unless the "Hidden" tab is selected from the dropdown menu. (Similair to "missing facilities")
+ Right click arrows to add max amount. (Right clicking the runts arrows will use all spare or remove all runts from project. Right clicking the amount will make infinite or set it to just finish the item in production, no more)
+ Q to quicksearch for specific words


BLACKMARKET
+ Right click an item to toggle its status. "Hidden" items aren't visible in the menu unless the "Hidden" tab is selected from the dropdown menu.

DIARY
+ Can click on medal names to see their ufopedia entry, ESC to return to the hand's diary. (also works wherever medals are shown)


GRAPHS
+ Zoom graphs with + and -

I am not sure the execute option is still there. It was, but I think it was removed.

[Robsoie]

just checked on the openxcom board, and you're right the feature was removed :
https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=3833.msg104293#msg104293

This feature has become too incompatible (on code level) with other features.
Also, players mostly used it as a cheat.

I've decided to remove it (already a long ago), but today it happened.

If someone wants to maintain it on their branch, here's the commit to revert: https://github.com/MeridianOXC/OpenXcom/commit/a936d1c7205cd11dd7c937516b3b9d4580bd0772

it was removed in 2018, it show how i never missed it as i wasn't even aware it was removed since all those years

The Xcom Files is an amazing mod for OXCE. A bit harsh at points and I only get trough with masssive savescumming, but nevertheless fun. My only problem is its too long. I gave up beacuse of exhaustion halfway during the alien invasion in both my runs.

The Xcom Files is an amazing mod for OXCE. A bit harsh at points and I only get trough with masssive savescumming, but nevertheless fun. My only problem is its too long. I gave up beacuse of exhaustion halfway during the alien invasion in both my runs.

Does XCF still have that timer before all hell breaks loose?

[Djohaal]

You mean the alien invasion beginning for real in 1999? Yes it still has that. Depending on your luck you might be woefully unprepared for the ayylmao onslaught. Fortunately after messing around with the save file a few times I found out you can safely push your game time back to gain extra time via save editing.

It does still have some insanely out of balance missions (namely syndicate base raids, the syndicate HQ mission among a few others), I make liberal use of debug mode to deal with them sometimes.

[Chiefwaffles]

There's a good chance I mentioned it before but the timer is my biggest problem with XCF. Not the time pressure per se, but rather the complete shift of the vibes of the mod.

You go from this steadily improving and progressing organization investigating conspiracies and climbing your ways up the ranks of the various cults and hostile entities, only for the game to go "actually nevermind we're just UFO defense deluxe now". Having some time pressure works but the way it changes... eh. Not horrific, but doesn't work to the mod's favor in my opinion.

[Djohaal]

Yeah I find it disagreeable too. Especially if you fuck up or get too unlucky with the cult kidnapping targets. But since it can be easily delayed with minimal save editing, I don't mind it too much

[Robsoie]

megamod 40K 0.38  and megaexpansion Rosigma 27 to complement it have been released

https://mod.io/g/openxcom/m/rosigma
https://mod.io/g/openxcom/m/40k

rather big release in term of content, along fixes and lots of new stuffs
40K specifically brings the baneblade with all its guns to the IG to murder the entire maps, and Rosigma adds the whole Steel Legion with their own troops, vehicles and weaponry as one of the strategies for the IG faction.
And bonus there's now a mysterious but optional dungeon-like 5 levels mission to crawl through with unique archeotech and 30K era powerful armors as reward in the end with them being specific to the faction you're using.

ROSIGMA 2.7 Notes:

STEEL LEGION edition.

Heads Up:
- Requires 40k version 038.
- GUARD: If you got an ongoing pre2.7 save with Guard and have a normal Valkyrie/Crassus/Gorgon the save *might* crash upon entering the baseUI. This is due to an update to those craft code entries in rosigma to get around limitations to submodding in OXCE.

FIX:
- Some Regen fixes.
- Some Melee Scaling fixes.
- ASTARTES: Devastators now have their big backpacks again, if they were missing.
- Replaced some faulty Player Frateris death sounds
- Implemented a method to restrict Perils of the Warp checks per turn to prevent instant warpification by using big AoE items (like the buff/smoke tomes).
- Crash fix for missing Nurgle Interception craft alienDeployment data.
- Corrected Webber ammo (Dark Mass) manufacturing cost from 20 ceramite to 10 promethium.
- Various other minor fixes and tweaks.

BALANCE:
- Updated some more items (primarily ammo) armor values to 200 to prevent item pile disintegration from stray Tzeentch shenanigans.
- Grav weapon stats standardization.
- Melee weapon stats updates and standardization efforts.
- Smite Buffed: 10 Energy instead of 25 to use, stun damage reduced from 10 to 5 for using it. Damage bonus from user psi ability. Ignores armor, maxRange 20.
- Changed spawned/turned enemy units TU to 15% default instead of 25%, to prevent them using snap fire and possibly causing some conga line issues.
- Made Mastercrafted Stormbolter ammo available for manufacture for factions that aren't Greyknights, after ceramite and mastercrafting is reasearched.
- Standardized Order Max Range at 7.
- Orbital Beacon reactions doubled to counter the 2xPistol reaction bonus on enemies. Also given 1x100% chance to dodge if shot at.

MAPS/MISSIONS:
- Integrated Therons excellent Ancient Space Hulk dungeon work. This includes 4 new space hulk map set themes and several new genestealer variants. Leflair has built a couple dozen, or forty, map blocks based on the tilesets, Surrealistik got in on it too and before you knew it we had a [lot] of maps.
- You'll encounter new music tracks per map based on the old space hulk games.
- The special space hulk will appear once certain conditions are met. Either discovered by the player (through destroying genestealer related bases) or from world events. There's several ways to trigger it, and once the Hulk appears on the geoscape it will not time out nor disappear if you evacuate from it.
- Archeotech Lootbox:
If you manage to complete the Ancient Hulk-Dungeon you get an "Ancient Vault" item.
You need to research the corresponding topic and then you can open it in the related manufacture "Opening Ancient Vault" and you get an ancient set of power armor, unique per faction, including Arbites, based on the LE10 Power Armor).


ADEPTAS:
- ARMOR: New Bloody Rose variant of the Elohim, stats towards melee. New inventory art.
- TRANSPORT: Added 2xSkull Probes for the Corvus, these can be used for scouting and to draw some reaction fire on turn 1.
- TRANSPORT: Added 2xAssault Cannon turrets to the front of the Corvus.
- TRANSPORT: Added Inquisition Valkyrie variant with a new paintjob and slightly tuned up engines. Replaces Guard Valkyrie for this faction.
- SFX: Added more motivational deathsounds to the Servo Skulls.
- CODEX: Removed requirements for some sister armors, that articles were unavailable despite fulfilling the requirements.
- ARMOR: Updated requirements for Celestian and Sacresant armor types, they are now dependent on Armory of Faith, Master Crafting and Ceramite.
- ARMOR: Deathcult Assassin melee bonus restored to +20, ranged bonus nerfed a bit further to -20 from -10.
- ARMOR: Removed inbuilt Skull Probes. A little too strong when massed.


ARBITES:
- Personal Shield and Bionics projects now available to Judges.
- New Justicar Power Armor, if you can recover the LE10 armor from the new deep Space Hulk location.


GUARD, now with the STEEL LEGION OF ARMAGEDDON:
- BANEBLADE: New craft with 40k 038. Increased speed from 75 to 150. Gun turrets updated and beefed up.
- BALANCE: Added Scaling to Officer Melee Weapons.

- RESEARCH: Moved airstrike research to starting unlocks for Scions/Elite Strategy Guard.
- RESEARCH: Carapace armor research unlocked by Scions/Elite Strategy.
- ARMOR: Scions can now use the Elysian jump armor and Harakoni Warhawk jump armor, research reqs unlocked with strategy.
- ARMOR: Felinid regular sensor armor vision stats lowered to soft cap 40/40 from 45/45.
- START: Elite Strategy IG (Scions) now gets:
1xValkyrie Grav Drop token
1xTauros Grav Drop token
6x Elysian Jump armors
6x Accatran Lasguns
2x Accatran Missile Launchers
2x Accatran Bolters.
In their starting package. They lose the normal Valkyrie Token. They get 1 more craft token than they have hangar space, so you'll need to pick what to deploy first.
- CODEX: Crassus codex article requirement given mid-tier to match research access (previously high-tier).
- ART: New Kris-made Commissar spritework for normal and carapace versions, battlesprites/floorob/bigob/inventory art.

STEEL LEGION:
- Added the mechanized Steel Legion of Armageddon as a guard Strategy, with excellent sprite art by Kris.
- Design wise they are a little more streamlined than the default strategy, with more skilled starting troops and a focus on ground craft. Their ground vehicles have a speed bonus.
They lack some air options lack grav drop Valkyries.
Steel Legion has better range on their autofire (codex doctrine armoured fist and mount up!).
They have 10-30% ACID resistance better than standard Guard, to represent their toxic world origin and sealed equipment.
- For Abhuman support options they have the Squats (Ratlings may come in the future) but lack Felinids, Beastguard and Ogryn (Ogryn bodyguards may be added in some more limited form later).
Includes: Soldier types and armors (officer, medic, vox, carapace etc), custom Sentinels (with some ACID resistance).
- Steel Legion arsenal of guns, low/mid-tier voss variant lasguns (scoped) and carbines (bayonet), hellguns and volleyguns, missile & grenade launchers, heavy flamer, new chainsword and powerfist. Some weapons appear at mid-tier or after researching ceramite.
- End game armor: Steel Legion Stormtrooper armor (replaces Guard void/power armor). They have better resistance vs ACID damage type.
- Steel Legion variant mounted guns, HB, Lascannon and Autocannon. Purchased as normal, shows SL skins when used by SL guardsmen.
- Steel Legion versions of Chimera convoy, and Leman Rus convoys with and without tank rider slots. Their go-to high end Leman Rus is the Executioner (plasma). They get early access to the non-tankrider version of the Leman Rus convoy in early tier after researching adamantium.
- Steel Legion convoys containing Chimeras get a ~20% discount to purchase price and upkeep cost.
- Steel Legion Lightning and Thunderbolt interceptors (re-skins). They are more expensive as a downside to the SL ground focus and boons (cost, speed and armor boons).
- Steel Legion Crassus and Gorgon variants (re-skins). They have the Steel Legion boon to speed.


SPACE MARINES:
- ARMOR: Heatvision for Advanced Scout Armor
- ARMOR: Buffed Armor Resistances of Officer+ (includes Techmarines, Librarians etc) Power Armor and Terminator Armors by 10-20%.
- ARMOR: Buffed Armor Resistances for Primaris.

- TRANSPORT: Gave the Chapter Army Craft heavy bolter sponsons, turned the Rhinos into Razerbacks (turrets) and added some recon capability (2 skull probes) to the Landspeeder.
- TRANSPORT: Added 4 tiles and 4 additional slots (total of 30 instead of 26) to the Chapter Army Craft for support and 2x2 units (Dreadnoughts). Can't really restrict specific tiles to specific unit types, so place them however you want in the Craft Preview.
- TRANSPORT: Moved item pile to the back of the Landraider for the Chapter Army Craft to save it from explosions.
- TRANSPORT: Added 8 ground tiles and slots to the Landspeeder craft (14->22) with additional space for Support units (servitors) and HWPs.
- TRANSPORT: Guard Valkyrie no longer available for Space Marines.
- SPONSONS: Buffed armor of the Thunderhawk/Landraider heavy bolter sponsons so they can survive a bit longer.

- BANNER: Space Marine Banner is now AoE again.
- Crozius damage bonus from psiSkill. Power range drop off set to 20, 5 points of power reduction per tile after.

- TRANSPORT: 2x Skull Probes for the Corvus.
- TRANSPORT: Added 2xAssault Cannon turrets to the front of the Corvus.
- TRANSPORT: Added Inquisition Valkyrie variant with a new paintjob and slightly tuned up engines. Replaces Guard Valkyrie for this faction.



IMPERIUM OF MAN:
- Blood Ravens Space Marines can now appear to assist the player, if playing a non-space marine faction, after fulfilling certain requirements. THREAT_ONE required, and reseaching the chapel helps. One event with a 5% chance of firing per month for 1 veteran Blood Raven, and one event with a higher chance of firing once the chapel has been built for 4 Blood Raven Marines.
- The Blood Raven marines are tactical marines, with slightly higher psi ability stat rolls (but lower devotion).


CHAOS:
- Reduced effective range of Nurgle Midwife/Daemonette spit and spray, and max number of spits per turn.
- Made the Nurgle Elite final list somewhat harder, the engineer slot can now spawn a blessed deathguard that transforms instead of just havocs, medic slot nurgle sisters/daemonettes removed and replaced with more Deathguard spewers and Terminators, the navigator slot will now also spawn a nurgle assassin 33% of the time, the soldier slot will now spawn a few normal deathguards (fewer terminators) but also maybe an nurgle blighted assassin, the terrorist slots will spawn more Blight Haulers.
- Nurgle Blightbearer assassins now tougher, higher firing/melee accuracy and unbreakable. Will now toss a Plaguebearer spawner first instead of a Nurgling spawner. Nurgling spawner replaced with another blight grenade. Will snipe outside of LOS more often (90% instead of 50% of attacks).
- Nurgle Cult Leaders will now attack outside of LOS 75% instead of 50% of times.
- Chaos Gravgun now has less accuracy drop off (6->5) and 5% higher snap accuracy (70% instead of 65%). No longer capped at 24 maxRange but instead have 2 power drop off after 18 tiles.
- Nurgle AOE Gravgun now has less accuracy drop off (10->5) and 10% higher snap accuracy (55% instead of 45%). No longer capped at 20 maxRange but instead have 2 power drop off after 16 tiles.
- Nurgle Gravcannon now has less accuracy drop off (7->4), powerRangeThreshold: 14 and powerRangeReduction: 0.25 changed to powerRangeThreshold: 25 powerRangeReduction: 2 (no power reduction until 25 tiles out). MaxRange 25 changed to AimRange 25 (can now fire further than 25 tiles). minRange set to 5.
- Nurgle Gravgun now has less accuracy drop off (10->6), power drops off after 14 tiles.
- Nurgle Gravpistol now has less accuracy drop off (7->6) but removed aimed fire mode. Accuracy drop off begins after 14 tiles. Power drop off starts after 16 tiles.
- Nurgle Needler rifle changed from 5 accuracy drop off to 2 drop off per tile, and accuracy increased from 80% to 110%, aimRange increased to 30 from 25. So you'll now be hit and infected pretty much every time it fires. Added 100% energy and stun damage to it. Damage bonus increased from 30% to 40% (scales with accuracy). minRange set to 7 (less accurate closer than 7 tiles).
- Nurgle Autopistol given 10% nurgle infection damage.
- Changed daemonette armors spawn TU to 5% from 10% to prevent them getting a melee attack off when they spawn.
- Changed ranged daemon spells to flatRate: false from true.
- Reduced toItem damage for several Tzeentch spells that was previously set to 500%.
- Reduced some morale damage from 800-1000% to 500% or lower for some tzeentch spells.
- Slightly increased armor effectiveness from 50% to 60% vs some chaos spells (tzeentch).
- Changed some daemon melee attacks accuracyMultiplier to meleeMultiplier (you'll probably not notice anything).
- Reduced effective range of Mr Crabby's tzeentch spray attack.
- Increased Tu cost of Pink Horrors standard spell by 5 points. Can no longer aim fire twice a turn, or snap fire 5 times a turn. Snap fire drop off range begins at 15 tiles instead of 18 and 26 tiles.

- VFX/SFX: Necron Flayed Ones melee attack graphics and sound effects updated.

I hope Xenonauts 2 will have at least 1/10° of the mods OXCE has. I do love OXCE modded (xfiles is my favorite), but visuals and GUI, well... they are was they are. Eyes bleed for a few days before getting used to it.

I actually think old Xcom's visuals aged quite well. Compared to Xcom apocalypse especially.

As old as the UI is, the only thing that really annoys me about OXCE these days is the fact that every single projectile from a weapon needs to be tracked individually by the camera. Turning up projectile speed helps a bit to a certain point before just getting weird-looking.

Holding ALT when you shoot will prevent the camera to follow the projectiles
