FAQ & Troubleshooting
Is Freecam free?
Yes. Get it from Bablo Resources. It runs with ESX, QBCore, Qbox, or in standalone mode. ox_lib is required in every mode.
The command does not open anything
Check that bablo-freecam and ox_lib are started. Confirm the command names in shared/settings.lua; the defaults are /freecam and /cam. If admin-only mode is enabled, check your ACE or framework permission. Inspect the client F8 console and server console for errors.
An opening keyboard shortcut is optional and has no assigned key by default. See Commands & opening key.
The camera opens but the interface is missing
Press H to show the controls. If it is still missing, check that the download includes nui/dist/index.html and its matching assets files. The manifest loads the built interface from nui/dist, not a development server. Install the complete matching release and restart the resource.
The camera can move too far from my character
Lower Settings.MaxDistance in shared/settings.lua and restart Freecam. The default is 20 metres; 10.0 creates a smaller radius. A value of 0 or false removes the limit.
The boundary is centred on the character’s position when Freecam opens. If the character has been moved by another script, close and reopen Freecam to set a new centre.
Movement is too fast
Hold Left Ctrl for precision movement or lower the movement multiplier in Studio. To change the default for everyone, lower Settings.Speed.normal and, if needed, fast and slow. These are movement speeds in metres per second at 1.0x, not per-frame values.
My subject is blurry
Turn depth of field off with Z to compare the scene. With it enabled, reduce strength using the Down arrow or the Studio blur slider. Disable auto focus and adjust manual focus distance if the camera focuses on the background. Increase focus depth to keep more of the subject sharp.
The Studio panel fades when I move the cursor
This is intentional. Move the cursor outside the panel to see the scene more clearly, then back inside to restore the panel. Camera movement stays paused until you close Studio with Done or Esc.
FOV changes cause extreme zoom or other visual problems
Install the full current release so the Lua camera files and built interface match. Check that Settings.FOV.min is lower than max and that default is inside the range. Test with depth of field disabled and the Natural / Standard filter to isolate the lens from visual effects. Include your settings and a short clip when reporting a persistent issue.
Esc opens another menu, or Tab opens my inventory
In Studio, Esc closes the panel first. Outside Studio, it exits Freecam. The pause menu is suppressed during Freecam and for about 900 ms after exit, so wait briefly before opening the normal pause menu again.
If another resource still reacts to the same keys, check its key handler. Freecam’s inventory state flags cannot block every custom key mapping. See Inventory & input conflicts for a client-side guard.
My server HUD stays visible
Check the detected HUD in the startup log and ensure the HUD starts before Freecam. Built-in integrations cover Bablo HUD, ps-hud, qb-hud, and esx_hud; custom HUD versions may require different hide/show events. See HUD integration.
Freeze Player Pose does not pause my emote
The toggle freezes the character’s position. It does not pause animation playback or select an animation frame. Use your animation resource to control the emote itself.
Where are screenshots saved?
Freecam does not save, upload, or record media. Use your normal screenshot or recording tool. Close Studio, disable the framing grid, and hide the interface with H before capturing.
Are Studio settings saved permanently?
There is no saved-preset system or database storage. Some adjustments remain in client memory between camera sessions, but are lost on a resource restart or reconnect. Edit shared/settings.lua to change server defaults.
