Here's the code for a WASD+mouse-controlled free-roaming camera. (I know you want it!)
I couldn't find any camera code I liked, so I wrote one for POP3 for Warband. The cameras I found either had clumsy extra keys for control, a limited camera, or didn't work for Warband.
It was based on kt0's simple after-death camera, but is much expanded:

At the top of mission templates, add these declarations:
In each mission you want to have the camera, add the triggers:
You also need to disable Warband ending the battle after death, but you can do this yourself (or read kt0's post).
If you use the code, some credit would be nice.
EDIT: added "(neg|is_presentation_active, "prsnt_battle")," in the rotate triggers conditions, so the camera would not rotate wildly when you press Backspace.
EDIT2: lowered the number of triggers (from 8 to 4) and increased mouse sensitivity
FINAL EDIT: fixed spinning in windowed mode
