Default map zoom level

Post by Dixi »

Problem exist since 2.0 release day

When one press a key to open map (and expect that it works exactly in 1.1) it does not works like expected. It opens map (called remove view now) in very zoomed in condition. That force a player to roll zoom out on a mouse every time, after pressing map keybind.
As soon a player closes it by ESC or same map hotkey, and opens again a bit later pressing same "m" key, they have to scroll zoom again and again.
Of course it was reported as a bug same day. Unfortunately, it's marked "not a bug".
Okay, some people, dev's at least, are comfortable with current interface functionality. But this problem was reported many times, a mod was requested (but it appears that no one knows hot to set default new Remove View resolution, so mod development got stuck very soon).

Could we please ask to have old 1.1 map key functionality: opens Remove View in average zoomed out condition, comfortable to use as a map. Easiest way is just to add an option anywhere, even in admin console, that will set default resolution for new Remove View window.

I do not think that the problem is so hard to solve.

Here previous topics where this feature was requested, mentioned, asked for, but never answered by dev's neither with a fix, nor with at least and explanation how to do it.
