[0.16.51] View moves off screen when playing Tight Spot

Post by srhank »

Playing the Tight Spot starter campaign, the view kept moving and since there is no avatar on that map, I cannot find a way to move the view back to center. Eventually it moved so far off that I now can see only half of the available space, and that only on minimum zoom. See screen shots. The map is unplayable in this view. The screen shots are: 1. Immediately after loading game; 2. Map view (after hitting 'm' and use mouse to pan to center); 3. Normal view zoomed out, after hitting 'm' again and use mouse scroll to zoom all the way out.
Expected:
Either autocenter view to compensate for a misaligned avatar on maps like these where we don't control it, or give user a way to change view away from the avatar.

Hello, have you tried pressing WASD keys? (or whatever you have normally bound to movement)

If you are not moving with WASD, the view moved probably due to zooming without player character zooms onto mouse cursor and not onto center of the screen.

Yes, the WASD keys do nothing. (I use the default controls)

Hmm ... WASD does work for me in your save.
Run following command to recenter yourself (since you can't get any achievements in tight spot, running command doesn't matter)

Code: Select all

/c game.player.teleport({0, 0})
