Mini-map needs scrolling

also a 150% zoom would be nice!

February 25, 2006 7:10 PM from

On my 1024x768 laptop, the mini-map at 100% zoom (for Gigantic galaxies) is not useable because the dots are too tiny. Therefore, I am constantly using the 200% zoom for the mini-map.

I have since realized that a scroll for the mini-map would be extremely useful. Currently, I have to zoom out, reposition on the mini-map, and then zoom back in. Having tiny arrow buttons on each of the 4 sides of the mini-map would be a huge boon, at least for the larger maps, on any zoom level.

If that is to difficult, a 150% zoom level would be a big help, but it would not be as good of an improvement.

As a long-time MOO player, I must admit that I am extremely impressed with GC2. Not just the slickness and quality, but especially for several innovative features added since the original GC.

At 1280x1024, I experience the same problem on Gigantic games. I found that you can drag scroll using the middle mouse button, but it is extremely slow and unresponsive (much like drag scrolling in the free cam battle view).

I'll try drag-scrolling, but that is not an easy option for laptops that use the touchpad...

Side buttons on the mini-map would be a huge help!
