Teeworlds - bridge

[quakenet] <day> Dune: i got dragged into a 2v2 iCTF yesterday. apparently everyone plays dyn cam now :X

Yeah day it's such a big advantage there if you can aim properly

[quakenet] <day> i know. instagib is like playing "tanks"

11:28

[quakenet] <day> btw. whats the story between the two camera modes anyways?

[quakenet] <Dune> I don't know the full story, but it was mentioned that resolutions were quite smaller when Teeworlds was first designed, and having a static camera with more zoomout would show the tees too small

12:54

[quakenet] <Dune> I personally think it would be nice to get a field of view upgrade for the static camera in the next major version. It really sucks when you go fast, and dynamic camera is dizzy and not noob-friendly

[quakenet] <rand> does the server send different data for dyn/static ? or does it only depend on the tee coordinates ?

[quakenet] <Dune> no, same data

[quakenet] <minus> solution: kill dyncam, zoom out static cam to accomodate

17:13

[quakenet] <Dune> +1 minus

17:13

[quakenet] <minus> disclaimer: i don't play teeworlds

17:13

[quakenet] <Dune> some players would be unhappy of losing an edge though :D

17:14

[quakenet] <Dune> disclaimer: I can't aim for shit with dyncam

There is a lot of players that would hate losing dyncam, best idea is to make it non-default, not removing it

[quakenet] <Dune> it is already not the default

Let it as it is then

[quakenet] <Dune> the issue remains: static camera is really really zoomed in

17:35

[quakenet] <Dune> because of something outdated

17:36

[quakenet] <Dune> it's not that the dyncam would be removed, but rather that improvements to static would make it pointless?

[quakenet] <minus> or add a third mode, zoomed out, doing what i described before

[quakenet] <Dune> why would anyone use static cam then?

19:05

[quakenet] <minus> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

if the static mode is zoomed out i think it should be laser-range size
