Re-binding of mouse wheel zoom not working properly

Post by blackbat »

Hi,

I'm expecting to be told I'm doing something wrong, and that's probably the truth, but I tried re-binding the zoom action to the inverse of the default, and all I can do now is zoom in, unless I press shift - then I can zoom out. Before changing the bindings it was working ok (although reversed from my preference). If I rebind it to the original, it works again. This might be a weird interaction with the way I've had to trick windows into using "natural scrolling".

Now, this is gonna get confusing pretty quickly, but let me try and explain how it's going:

Default game behaviour:

Code: Select all

What I do:                 scroll down | scroll up
What windows thinks I do:  scroll up   | scroll down
What options show in-game: scroll up   | scroll down
What happens in-game:      zoom-in     | zoom out

What I expected to achieve:

Code: Select all

What I do:                 scroll up   | scroll down
What windows thinks I do:  scroll down | scroll up
What options show in-game: scroll down | scroll up
What happens in-game:      zoom-in     | zoom out

Let me know if you want any more information, or how i can help. I realize this is a very unusual set-up.

Thanks that works!
But if you don't mind my $0.05, having two bindings for what is essentially the same thing is not very intuitive.

The two bindings are to allow controlling when the zoom switches between the standard map view and the zoomed in view.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

but clearly, one is interfering with the other, no? I was never in the map view.
