August 1st Update Is Here! (Patreon)

Hey guys, pretty big update here.
The cameras are now separated into categories, since many new cameras were added.
Chest, Shoulder, and Head cameras are now accessible at any time, both on foot and in vehicle by a key press, and they are no longer a part of the regular list that you cycle through with V. The default controls to switch through the Body Cameras are DEL, END, and PAGE DOWN. Of course, you can modify them via Controls.ini located in the ViewPointV folder.
Here are the currently available cameras and the categories they are in:
Body Cameras (only available via a key press, not a part of the on foot/in vehicle cameras cycle)
ViewPointV: Chest Camera
ViewPointV: Shoulder Camera
ViewPointV: Head Camera

ViewPointV: On Foot Classic GTA Top Down View Camera [NEW]
Car Cameras (only available when driving a car, switch using Switch Control (V for keyboard users))

ViewPointV: Plane Classic GTA Top Down View Camera [NEW]
On Event Cameras (automatic cameras that are triggered on certain events)
Vehicle Entry Cameras
ViewPointV: Victim's First Person Camera [NEW]
ViewPointV: Cinematic Angles Camera [NEW]
The On Events Cameras is a new category, it currently only has the Vehicle Entry Event that contains 2 cameras and, but more are coming soon!
On Event Cameras are basically scripted transition cameras that are triggered on certain events for about 2-3 seconds.
When an event occurs (for example Vehicle Entry), ViewPointV will select a random camera from those that you checked in the list.
Decheck all of them to completely disable Vehicle Entry Cameras.
Cameras from different categories with similar names are still different cameras with their own settings. They share a big part of the logic, but were also tweaked specifically for their corresponding category. That means that modifying settings of one, for example the Helicopter First Person Camera, the settings of another, for example the Car First Person Camera will not be changed, even if you're modifying Global Settings.
Other changes:
General
Added ability to toggle mod off at any time using a key, for compatibility with free cam mods etc. Just press the key and the mod will be completely disabled. (INSERT KEY by default, modify key in Controls.ini)
