1.1.5 - Strangeness with Scroll_Size

#1 Post by StarWeaver »

When I set the game option Scroll Distance to 1, I still can't get very close to the edge of the screen in most directions. The places my player is standing in this crappy composite images mark the corners of what the game appears to consider 'onscrean' for the purpose of movment triggered scrolling. It appears to be anchored at the bottom and a little offcenter.

Sorry about the image size, I thought I was going to be able to thumbnail it.

Are you using my UI Mod by any chance? I modified it so that your avatar won't go under any of the UI elements.

Oh well, damn, that's probably it. Does your modification figure things dynamically or did you just use a fixed screen area?



I'll need to take a look at that cause i'd like to mod it to not recenter the screen just because i moved the map farther off than it likes, e.g. trying to see the left edge of trollmire 4

It's based on the UI element locations. If your minimap was on the left, then your avatar should go all the way to the right, as there's nothing else on the right to hide under. (The tooltip doesn't count, as it's not a moveable UI element.)

I'll make it an option. It's a balancing act, as I found it frustrating when my avatar would hide under my hotkey bar or whatnot. I have mine set to stay centered, as it makes it easier for me to know where my avatar is. In that case, this ends up being a nice compromise of seeing lots of the map (with little black border), but not hiding.

I've updated it. You'll need to update manually, as I still can't upload to Steam.
