Zoom function would be excellent in external mode too.


Some things to note; during statistics mode with gui disabled, big yellow statistics disappear as welll. Now if we could do something about lit up ground!

Any feature in game don't lead to bugs, if it's possible. Big black border around map it's a bug, and and requires the removal of.

About the fact that the units are not selected in zoom out stage, I probably missed. Watch this, too.

Yes it's a bug. Num [-] and mouse wheel - should zoom of the same way.

In APOS it's a slightly different case. APOS don't have a black border.
And there the mouse wheel and buttons work the same way.

Thanks!! Do you guys ever sleep? smile

BTW, beta 3 patch added a possibility to disable interface and bring it up momentarily by pressing ctrl. However, if you open the 2D tactical map the interface setting will reset => interface always on again. Any possibility to make the game remember which interface mode was enabled after closing of the 2D tactical map? I like it very much to keep all unnecessary icons hidden when they are not needed - adds athmosphere.

Wait, wait. Give the old bugs to fix, and then we add the new wink .

Ever do so.

Then make that an option.

And please disable glowing ground in statistics.


Thank you very much that we can play with gui disabled. It's wonderful!

It's not glowing.
Actually glare and lighting turned off and the sun is placed so that all was well in view.

Otherwise, at night or in the storm / fog in the statistics also do not see anything.

However, the selection by window works at any zoom.

P.S. And we think...and yes - zoom range in SABOW will be extended like in APOS.

Hi Andrey,


I'm not 100% sure of what you are saying, smile but, after some testing that I did, it seems like the selection of units at maximum zoom out, is being affected by --- Counter Mode (F6 key). (which would turn off the names of the Commanders etc., which is what I think you were saying (signature of Commanders ? ))

In this 1st SABOW screenshot, at maximum zoom, and [F6] Counter Mode being (Full?)(see red arrow on pic), you cannot select units on the Map.




However, if you press [F6] once (or twice) for other counter modes, then you can select units at maximum zoom. (even if close together).




I did the same test in APOS (with same zoom level as in SABOW pics), and it does exactly the same thing.

I then did a 2nd test in APOS with extreme zoom out. I could not select units.




In this screenshot, APOS, at extreme zoom out, and after pressing [F6] Counter Mode, I could then select units, even being so close together.




So, the selection of units, at various zoomed out levels, is definitely being affected by the [F6] Counter mode.


Anyway, thanks to your and your team, .. for sorting all these things out. smile


Regards
Tom

Yes, I say the same thing:)

If you see commander names - you can select one squad by click and by window.
If you don't see commander names (zoomed) - you can only select by window (hold LMB and drag selection).
