g Actually best zooming mod!

1 year, 1 month ago

Hi,
just wanted to say thanks for giving us a mod that does stepless zoom and without using any hotkeys.
Just seamlessly extending the default zoom - as i was looking for for years.

Thanks a lot!

Agree! Great Mod to see and manage all my bases in every planet without lot of scrolling and walking/flying from side to side.

Currently this mod has some issues with high-resolution screens, and there's a value that needs to be adjusted manually for it to work properly on them. After I figure out how to calculate the zoom limit on those resolutions this mod would truly be the best.

i can help, if you need feedback (7680x2180 widescreen here)

Can you disable this mod, fullscreen the game, press F4, tick "show-detailed-info", then zoom out/in the furthest, and tell me the "Zoom:" value on the top-left for each situation? I think the zoom limit is only related to the width of the screen, so wide screen displays less content than narrower ones.

im on it, 5 minutes

So. with native resolution 7680x2160

  • enabled mod:
    zoom-out: 0.125
    zoom-in: 4.0
    while having the mod settings set to:
    zoom in limit: -14. default zoom out limit: 6, zoom out limit: 21

  • disabled mod:
    zoom-out: 1.104 (cant believe i played with that before)
    zoom-in: 3.281

additional detail: there are rare cases where the zoom "jumps", and this might be a scripting error - but its kinda hard to reproduce it.

If you don't play multiplayer, you can downgrade this mod to 1.0.1 to eliminate the jump. I have some ideas about how to fix it now.

Done. Max zoom level in vanilla = -log2(screen width / 200 /32) * 7. Took a little while to figure out because I forgor 💀 how logarithm works.

ok, so i can keep playing on the newest version?

Yep, 2.0.0 is actually perfect and fixes everything. Should have no more jumps while zooming.

its perfect

naaah, small idea: could you (optionally) implement the function that it does not zoom if i press "shift" while using the mousewheel?
thats annoying when scrolling through blueprints / pastes

/thanks

Wait what? It doesn't do that on my side. No idea why that's the case. Can you check your keybinding? My mod only extends the original keybinding of vanilla zoom function, so it should only trigger zooming at the same situation as vanilla.
