Roja Report post Posted October 21, 2004 I know we can't really make zoom out be any greater in the official client, but can't we increase the zoom in? Reason being is that some things look nicer up close Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cicero Report post Posted October 21, 2004 The camera is centered on the players feet at the moment. If it zooms in any more, you won't be able to see your own head That's the original reason for the limitation. The zoom-in as it is now is actually a pretty simple bit of code (made slightly more complicated since I added the smoothing code to it), and it probably needs to be a bit "smarter" to make zooming in further look nice. I mentioned on this thread the need for some better camera control: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=8620 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frak Report post Posted October 21, 2004 yea. camera code as it is now sux. If u remove the limits and move it down to 0 degrees u will see objects that would be behind the camera on the screen. having world coordinates of the camera and using gluLookat would be fun. i played around with that but it broke the frustum culling. :/ with world coordinates of the camera we could let it collide with objects. would be great for the autocamera.

Roja Report post Posted October 21, 2004 There is still more room to zoom though, can you guys at least make it zoom in until the tip of the players head hits the top of the screen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VegaDark Report post Posted October 22, 2004 I think a further zoom in would be better, and I DEFINITELY think the camera should be centered on the center of the character/head instead of the feet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
