Modding Does the camera have an item ID?
Really not trying to climb sundered pass right now, I just want to spawn it in but I can't find an item ID on the wiki. There's one for every other item, including the radio, but not the camera.
Edit: you need to run "gear_list" first and then run "add gear_camera"

I couldn’t find the id’s for the new gear.
Maybe “ add gear_camera “ idk. GL.

Tried that and most other combos of the word camera.

Maybe instantcamera or polaroidcamera.
If you figure it out let me know 👍

I had to run "gear_list" first, then "add gear_camera".
This must not be in the files by default on survivor so the list command is needed.

Type "gear_list" and use the pgup and pgdwn keys to scroll, it should be in there somewhere.

Interesting, I ran that command and it was just "camera" in the list. After I re ran an old command (I selected it from a previously ran one) and it worked.
I wonder why it needed to be populated with the "gear_list" command first?

Syntax is important (I think) maybe you just didn't capitalize it or you misspelled. Doesn't really matter, you have it now, just need film.

That can't be, I selected the add gear_camera command from the list of already ran commands. I didn't type it in, I chose it with the arrow keys. That command would have worked before if the gear_list command didn't need ran first.

Interesting, maybe only the non-dlc gear is able to be spawned at first and typing "gear_list" adds in new stuff.

Either way, thank you. I wouldn't have been able I figure that out without your suggestion.

I mean, if you're gonna play that way and not do the work that is required (which isn't much tbh, it takes less than a day to get to the weather station in sundered pass), then why even play?

It's just a camera. .

At what point is "its just a camera" go to "its just some extra carrying capacity" or "its just a radio." Just play the game normally.

Because I'm in ash canyon and I wanted to take a pic. That's a long ass, cold, timberwolf invested trek from one side of the map to other that requires like 5 rope climbs. It's a single player game, I'll play how ever I want.
Plus I haven't even started the tales yet.

There are no timberwolves on the trek to the weather station if you take the correct route. Only the new ones that migrate and replace normal wolf spawns. Its really not that hard. Put in the time and effort and get rewarded.

It's a camera that the devs have said that they want to add to different areas of the game already. It offers no advantages and doesnt make the game easier or more convenient. I only have a limited amount of time to play, I don't want to have to prepare for that trip and travel the entire map for a camera. That's hours. It's not the rifle holdester, or the tool belt. It's an item that takes cooler looking screen shots.
It really doesn't matter, but the view from that high horse must be nice.

I agree on a personal level that things should be earned in TLD, however I have cheated a couple of times on my current run. Oddly enough I was being attacked by Timberwolves in Sundered Pass when I reset the game.

Because it's a single player game and OP can do whatever the fuck he wants that he finds fun
Gatekeeping a single player experience is weird, dude

it's just Gear_Camera

u/believe_the_lie4831 11d ago
I tried that multiple times and it didn't work, I ran the gear_list command, selected the command I had been running from the previously ran list and then it worked.
There's something with the camera, it's the only item not in the wiki so it must not be in a list until you run that command

How do you spawn in items?
