why is the default mouse camera control inverted?
Seriously why?
Re: why is the default mouse camera control inverted?

mouse wheel up = move camera up
mouse wheel down = move camera down

mouse wheel down = move camera down

Re: why is the default mouse camera control inverted?
i think that is springsettings default, not springs default.
Tobi wrote a new config system for the engine. one effect of that is, that only config values that differ from the default are written to the config file. i guess springsettings was not yet adjusted to that.
what i think does happen:
so when you use springsettings, and you have InvertMouse on its default value (false in the engine), the engine will not have written it to the config file, and springsettings thinks it is missing, and uses its own default, which is true:
https://github.com/springlobby/springlo ... nts.h#L389
if i am right, it means springsettings needs some adjustments, most likely.

Re: why is the default mouse camera control inverted?
ah, ok. do let me know when you update that. For now I am rolling back to to the old engine, several tags are turned off and much of my work is graphical so I need to have all my settings.
Re: why is the default mouse camera control inverted?
koshi did invert that particular default in springsettings:

so this particular issue should not be a problem anymore with the next SL release.
spring now supports a new command line switch --list-config-vars,
which outputs key, default-value and type of all possible config entries.
This may be used by tools like springsettings in the future.

Also the mouse wheel zoom was inverted when I first played spring. I don't know if that default was fixed yet either.

Smoth, what you and I consider "Normal" is actually inverted compared to most rts games. So, that said, imo it would be best to stick to common convention.
Re: why is the default mouse camera control inverted?
koshi changed the springsettings default for that value to be the same as the spring internal one, so it is fixed (in smoths understanding).
Re: why is the default mouse camera control inverted?
Forb has a point. It's most frustrating having supreme commander and other games and then going to spring and have to deal with it.
Sure I can flip a switch in settings, but I shouldn't have to if I want standard RTS behaviour.

Re: why is the default mouse camera control inverted?
other rts games do not use a fps cam. If I install groundcontrol which does have one, I am pretty damn certain it does not use inverted or flightsim style controls forb/af.

Then in that case the setting should either not affect FPS or be separated out with a brand new default value.
