Debug option "allow-Increase-zoom" also for decrease zoom

Post by steinio »

Hi,
i suggest that the debug option for "allow-increase-zoom" also enables decreased zoom levels above player levels.
This could also be a new option "allow-decreased-zoom.

Why? Maybe to take larger screenshots?
It's a debug option, what could possibly go wrong?

Cu, steinio.

There are a 2 main reasons why zoom is limited to what it is (zooming out):
  • The game doesn't reveal much past the max zoom out
  • The more you zoom out the harder slower it is to render because you're increasing the area along all all 4 edges - most computers can't handle this and will lock up/crash the game
