it's not a ''serious'' map

btw every time you posted this map somewhere, I was scared that you built the same map I did ^^

hi, im wondering what other mappers think about the smooth zoom in the editor

05:11

in my opinion, it makes things a little less concise and feels a bit weird

05:12

it looks well ingame, but in the editor i generally care more about efficiency instead of looks so it doesn't work well for me

what update is that from @louis ?

05:13

a newer one?

16.6

05:14

well you can control it with cl_smooth_zoom_time so it's not forced i guess, but the same config setting is used in-game so you have to change it each time

ah i kinda wanna try it, im using 16.1

I use external editors to make maps (mostly maps for other modes), but zoom in editor sounds terrifying, animations and stuff is cool, but mian goal is to make map efficient and fast, not wait for zoom animation to end, even if its like 0.3s

how do i even get 16.6 lol

louis

Tf, that sucks

i can only find 16.5

Aoe

i can only find 16.5

Its release candidate afaik

05:16

You need to download it from website or github (edited)

05:16

Or enable beta in steam

i think the reason it feels so wonky is because it's paired with the scaled zoom speeds (the thing where your zoom is stronger at low levels and weaker at high levels) (edited)

i select beta, not release candidate in steam?

yeah beta or rc both give u it

05:17

i think

oh wow it feels alot diffrent

05:18

would deffiently take some time to get used to

05:18

i think i like the normal zoom tho

05:19

because now you have to wait untill its zoomed in before you can really do anything

05:20

it looks nice, but it feels abit delayed when using it

yeah

05:21

the smooth zoom in-game works nicely because it doesnt actually change the angle you're aiming at

05:22

but in editor it'll change the block your mouse is over during zoom

So it zooms in the center? Not to the mouse?

it zooms to mouse

justatest

05:24

I gotta try it out myself later

i personally don't like it, i agree with louis about being efficient instead of looking nice (edited)

Well since its not in release yet it can be deleted or changed

hi, im wondering what other mappers think about the smooth zoom in the editor

I just thought it was strange but with time I'll get used to it so I don't know

I don't think heinrich will like separate variable just for this, but it sounds right

design looks normal?

Why are there stripes when I zoom out and how do I fix this?

its probably just a map bug, there might not be anything you can do about it

18:52

(i could be wrong, but it does just look like its a problem with a map asset)

Derp

Why are there stripes when I zoom out and how do I fix this?

quads or tiles ?

quads

put a layer under it

19:13

quads sometimes bug like this when zoomed out or moving

i will try that thanks

19:15

Does anyone have a roleplay map?
