Hi Andrey,


Wow, you guys are quick. Thanks.


Just a couple of quick things:-

1. I notice that everybody is still speaking Russian. (but, at least the Speech Volume works now.)

2. Item 8, the mouse wheel zoom, .. is still not working as per APOS, and now with Beta 4, once the Zoom out stops with the wheel, you can no longer click
on the - on the left panel, nor can you use the num[-]. Map is really stuck this time.

I've also noticed, that once the map get 'stuck' on the Zoom out, that you can no longer select units by left-clicking on them. You have to Zoom back in again (at least 1 level), to be able to select units again.


Thanks again.
Tom

Please take a screen shot - in what place does not work zoom of the map.
Probably we are talking about two different things.

Hi Andrey,

Here ya go:-

This 1st screenshot is with Beta 4. You cannot Zoom Out further than this. Once it stops zooming with the mouse, you cannot click on the - on the top left panel, nor can you use the num[-] key.

Also, once at maximum zoom out (as per the screenshot), .. you cannot click on your Tanks.





This screenshot is with Beta 2. The mouse wheel Zoom Out still gets stuck, but you can still click on the - on the top left panel, or you can use the num[-] key to continue zooming out. (n.b. this pic is not at maximum zoom out, .. I zoomed it out just enough to show the entire map)

In Beta 2, even at maximum zoom out, you can still click on your tanks.




Hope that helps to explain the problem.


Regards
Tom

Screen from beta 2 with black border around a map, it's a bug (long range zoom without normal limits ). Now it checked.

Hi Andrey,


My apologies, .. but that doesn't make any sense to me. Why would you stop the Zoom from zooming out all the way?

Also, how do you explain, that when you are zoomed out (until mouse wheel can't zoom out any further), .. you cannot select your units on the map?

In release version (GG) of SABOW, when the mouse wheel could no longer zoom out, you could still select your units on the map. You could also use the num[-] key to zoom out further.

Also, APOS works like SABOW release version, BUT, in APOS mouse wheel works to maximum zoom out (doesn't get stuck as in SABOW). Are you saying that APOS has the same bug as SABOW Release/Beta 2?




Cheers
Tom
