BenjaminLewis Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Can anyone tell me if it's possible to zoom in and out without a mouse wheel? I don't see any bindings for zoom in Options -> Controls. Normally I play on PC with mouse, but I was playing on my laptop yesterday, and found it difficult to see what I was doing without the ability to zoom in (eventually I plugged a wheeled mouse into my laptop, but it would be nicer if there are other options for zooming, preferably via keyboard).

HMV Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Your trackpad doesn't mimic a scrollwheel by either 2-finger scrolling or far-right-edge? You may want to look into the options. I haven't encountered a non-scrollwheeled trackpad in... a decade?

BenjaminLewis Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 I don't have a trackpad (Lenovo X200 tablet). It does have a touch screen, though I never thought to check if pinch-zoom works. I was a little hesitant to use the touch screen -- accidental clicks can be fatal in this game. In any case, a keyboard zoom option would be nice -- either full zoom capabilities, or a key to toggle between 3 or more zoom levels like they did for Shadowrun Returns.

HMV Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Aha. I agree. I've found that you can never dangerously misclick if you're doing so outside your agent's radius and of course aren't touching any icons (firewalls and the like). Never thought to try playing this on a tablet. I do agree that there should be a keyboard shortcut and/or an on-screen +/- somewhere.

BenjaminLewis Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hmmm.... is it possible that +/- already work for zooming in and out? I can't fire up the game right now, but I peeked at camhandler.lua and found the following: elseif event.key == mui_defs.K_MINUS then self:zoom( -ZOOM_FACTOR, 0, 0 ) return true elseif event.key == mui_defs.K_PLUS then self:zoom( ZOOM_FACTOR, 0, 0 ) return true Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/55119-how-to-zoom-without-mouse-wheel/#findComment-646608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminLewis Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Well, +/- didn't work for me (I believe K_PLUS and K_MINUS not defined?), but I changed it to use K_LBRACKET and K_RBRACKET, and now I can use '[' and ']' to zoom in and out, cool.
