Cursor Screen moving

from Demigod Forums

I might be missing it but is there a way to move your cursor to the sides or top and bottom to move the camera? Kinda like in most RTS games.

I was about to create a topic about that. It would be great to be able to move the camera using the cursor.

May I had, is there a way to rotate the camera ?

Well you can move the camera by holding the middle mouse button (wheel).
But i actually missed the standard mousescroll feature as well.

Also, holding space and moving the mouse works to turn the camera.

Yes +1 for this - seems REALLY obvious to me to have this funcationality.  I also think for this type of game the zoom should be more limited.

It'd be great if there would just be an option to turn on mouse scrolling, its difficult to quickly zoom around the map to see whats going on and then get back to your hero sometimes by pressing the wheel down, plus I'm sure anyones who's played an rts is used to doing so without holding anything down.

Yeah really needs mouse scrolling.  I use zoom in and out with the wheel alot but it is just not natural for me to push the mouse wheel to move the screen.  Seems like it would be better the have mouse wheel push and hold allow you to rotate like so many other game have.  I did not know space bar rotated.  I will have to test that out or maybe I just have to get used to it.

If you want a more limited zoom, don't zoom in or out so much. :grin:

I think the zoom is fine the way it is.

This is the most important thing I've seen so far.  I thought the zoom system was great in supcom but this isn't supcom.  Having to zoom out and zoom back in (or even worse switch to the arrow keys) in order to move the camera an inch to the right is completely rediculous when a flick of the wrist with mouse/edge of screen panning could accomplish the same task.  This is a pretty big turnoff for me right now and I think it's going to be a very large hurdle for anyone who hasn't played supcom.
