Question about zooming...and saying hello.
Posted: Thu Aug 22, 2019 9:51 pm
Hello.
First of all let me express my respect and thankfulness for the OpenRA developers. I was a true C&C junkie in those days. And I still am, it seems.
I really appreciate your work and efforts you put into this project.
We are three guys around 50 years of age, we meet every other Saturday for gaming, and we really enjoy RTS games. We've been doing this for nearly 30 years now and OpenRA seems to be what we have been lacking for quite some time now.
So, I can't thank you enough for this, in fact, I've had the idea myself some years ago. But I'm just a hobby programmer, taught myself some C, C++ over the years and, digging through my old CDs, I even found a C&C map editor I wrote in the mid 90s.
So, although I am no c# expert, I downloaded the source and went through it a bit, I successfully built the sources, ok. I found the bit with available zoom steps and added a few, so zooming is not limited to two steps any longer. It's much smoother. Is there a reason why you limited the zooming option?
And, also concerning zoom, (I know this is being discussed elsewhere, too) the UI should be zoomable, cause on high resolution displays they are very small.
Best regards and keep up the good work!
