Camera Options

[CloudWolf]

While beta testing the map on Bnet, many people suggested alternative camera views. The original plan was to create some -cam commands, however, I've always thought that having to type these commands can be awkward

So! I've come up with a system that allows players to zoom in and out by pressing the up and down arrow keys instead It should hopefully be in the v1.18 build once finished

Cool, as long as it has limits

Although, I'm still in need of your MSN cloudwolf

So basically this new system allows you to zoom out and in? There should definetally be a limit.

Did you scratch the scripted camera?

naah, the scripted camera is still there I just removed the bit that locks the camera distance

and yea Ive got it set so it cant zoom in more than 800, or out more than 2000

I got an plendid idea! I could insert a global real variable so it would be easy for you to change the distance. I'll get on it later as it's such a simple process.

I think that a Zoom in - Zoom out camera system would be cool but this is anti Diablo :[

And a -cam system like Azeroth war will make this mape look bad, thats Is Reaaaally anti Diablo at all. :S

Note to myself and the staff:

The camera system in 1.18 is so fucked up! Need a fast fix.

lol, there were quite a few bugs in that test i must admit Still, its a vast improvement from v1.17 so far

Rofl.
Well, it can suck, but try to dont get out of the target: a Diablo 3 like map.
If you dont get out of this, anything that you do will be fine.
Thats my opinion =)

Make sure that the fog don't mess it up

Im pretty sure that he would notice that when he tests it so that shouldent be a problem

In the gameplay trailer it was possible to zoom in and out!

Yes, but I believe to have read an announcement of Blizzard that they will remove the zoom to make it more similar to Diablo II... i will search if i can find that! ò.ó

You could atleast tell us where and when in the video it happens.
I think your right, doesnt he zoom in on the barbarian?
But well, we dont know if that will be featured or if it was done specially to show of the items and such.

We might actually try that sometime. But for now naa...

i thought, that he zooms in at the beginning, after the first ghoul battle to show the barbarian.

Ya, thats what i said too.
But that could be a temporary feature to show off the character, but who knows.

But still, isnt it a little wierd that your able to zoom in so you cant see anything around you. This is suppost to be a hack & slash game.

In Titan Quest u can zoom in,too. And Ya, it is sensless but very nice to take a look an youre hero, his spelleffects and nearly standing enemys.

 

[CloudMax]

But since we dont really have armor attachments it would be kind of useless to zoom in that much, you would only notice that the heros isnt made in detail.

 

[Nightwish.ger]

But I think it would be cool, to look at enemys and the landscape.

Why would you like to zoom in? You dont see the landshape when you zoom in.
And enemies just look horrible if you look to near
And the camera is still locked at a specefic angel so it would be hard to look at enemies.

 

[redmarine]

As LTGH said we shouldn't allow zooming in until it actually gave some benifits like showing off attachments e.g. swords, axe, armour, shoulders... and so on.
