Scrolling

Post by *Lava* »

Hi!

At first I didn't think the game allowed you to scroll with the mouse... WRONG.

Seems the game scrolls pretty well for me east and west but is rather hit or miss north and south.

Anybody else notice this?

If so... would be nice if we could get some increased sensitivity north and south.

Hi Ray
I noticed roughly the same thing, and in detail no scroll to south and very limited scroll to north

I have the same situation. The north scroll activation point is rather small. I have already gotten used to using the mini map to move around.

This is another item for the developer to take a look at (assuming this is a wide spread situation).

Small? Seems to be 1mm large[:D] Totally agree it would be better to take a look at it

Seems that the hotspots for mouse scrolling are rather small. I'm no coder and I can't speak for Frank here, but I would say this is something that can be fixed.

You can also use the arrow keys to scroll the map.

Yeah, arrow keys are a life saver. I use them exclusively.

Yeah, talk about threading the needle. I suspect the challenge with this is the game running in a window mode. In a full screen the scrolling may not be as tricky with the mouse as placing the cursor at an extreme screen edge may be all that would be required. It would have been nice to left-click (and hold) on the map and scroll it in that manner, or at least have this functionality on the smaller map at the lower left of the screen. Regardless, the arrow keys remain functional to this end.

Okay...

I'm getting used to the scroll... it's just very sensitive and yes, I expected the north and south to be at the extreme edge and not near the edge of the game screen.

So... things are working out alright now..

LOL-I didn't actually measure it, but yea, one mm seems about right.
