[0.17.36] Zoom with key other than scroll wheel does not allow seeing activity on map

Post by User3141 »

When "zoom in" control is set to a key combination other than the scroll wheel, and that key is pressed while viewing the map in a saved game, the game does not resolve to showing actual activity (in regions where you should have vision due to radars), instead only giving the map thumbnail view.

I would imagine this is simply a case of a condition on "scroll wheel pressed" needing to be changed to "zoom key pressed".

Keep up the good work on an awesome game :D

Thanks for the report. And thank you for including the log.

What you want to rebind is controls for "Alternative zoom"

I didn't like the default behavior of automatically zooming into/out of game view, so I added the extra zooming controls in a way that preserved the default behavior, while allowed me to rebind controls in a way that zooming in map switches to game view only when I explicitly want to. So that is why there is "Zoom" and "Alternative zoom" bindings ... which might have been mistake as this is not the first time somebody got confused by it.

Ah okay, thanks. Makes sense and I can see that it's behaviour you could want: looking at the controls pannel I can't believe that I missed it.
