Camera - Presets
« on: February 28, 2012, 09:18:14 am »

Today I was able to purchase the full Alpha Version and started to build roads. Very fast I felt the need for a Drop-Down-Camera so that I can move the camera from above with the WASD-Keys and a Zoom-Function with my mousewheel. It would be very comfortable and the roadbuilding process should take not so much time anymore. To say it short ... I like to have a Camera like a strategy game.

There's another camera mode available in sandbox, you can switch to it using shift-tab. Should be mostly what you want ...

Thx Cameni ... it is almost what I expected. The only thing I miss is a fixed 90 degree angle from top.

After spending again some hours on the greek island Nysiros and building some roads there I still feel the need for some camera-short-keys or buttons.
For Example ...

Top-View (fixed 90° view down to earth) - Numpad 5 <- really important I think
North-View (View at 360 / 0°) - Numpad 8
South-View (View at 180°) - Numpad 2
East-View (View at 90°) - Numpad 6
West-View (View at 270°) - Numpad 4

and for those who can't get enough

North-East-View (View at 45°) - Numpad 9
South-East-View (View at 135°) - Numpad 3
South-West-View (View at 225°) - Numpad 1
North-West-View (View at 315°) - Numpad 7

Especially the Top-View could really help on the road building process. Because I can fix the coursor of the Map to the center of the Street and then I can place in the center of the screen my road and it is positioned accordingly to the map.
