Focus on NPC Face

Overview

This mechanic automatically changes the field of view (FOV) and applies a background blur effect (Depth of Field) to focus the player's attention on the NPC's face during dialogue.

Usage

The function settings are located in engine_external.ltx in the [gameplay] section
Available parameters:

; Dialogs
DialogFovScale = 0.75 ; FOV scaling coefficient. Lower value -> stronger "zoom" on face.
TalkDof = 0.0, 0.5, 5.0, 0.0 ; Background blur parameters (Depth of Field)

Here you can adjust the magnification strength and blur strength. If you set DialogFovScale = 1, the magnification will disappear

Besides, to disable focus for a specific NPC, just add focus_on_npc = false to the NPC spawn section
Example:

[your_npc_spawn_section]
character_profile = ...
; ... other parameters ...
focus_on_npc = false ; This NPC will not activate camera focus
