Default Zoom Level?
« on: September 21, 2014, 04:07:25 AM »

Am I the only one who hates having to set zoom level all the time, everytime I enter a new map? Considering zoom level is vital to detect snipers and engage in sniping, I believe its really needed to allow us the option to set a default zoom level.

I don't thing it will be possible without newer client (and that brings dozens of other problems). Someone tried that not long ago on other server, but results was never good enough (map was drawn wrong if you tried to change zoom right after player enters a map, read: near scrollblocker).

Best what theoretically should work is a shortcut simulating Z+wheel pressing.

Wipe is correct, would require cvet intervention, questionable scripting or magical chairs with scroll blockers to keep a static zoom.

Hmmmm, I see. I hope this can be adressed some day, but I still thank both Wipe and cirn0 for answering my question.

Think of it as a handicap to the defending side! Tactical superiority ;P
