Spring RTS Engine

at small maps, it would be nicer to zoom that more out, so those UI stuff doesnt cover the map at all, and i could just watch the game without touching any buttons or moving mouse.

i could press F5, but then i cant see chat, or unit stats when i spy their units...


One number change solution: make max zoom out more than it is now, so i dont even need that Overview style camera at all.

Press tab.

Yeah? thats the problem, it doesnt zoom out enough, the UI is on the map, which hides some stuff in the map.

So, i just need to zoom bit more out while im using TAB mode, then i could see everything clearly.

F5

Doesn't fix the problem.

How am I supposed to know what the blips are in the given scenario if I've hidden the tooltip? And how am i supposed to know there's a blip if the tooltip covers it when shown?

I too would like to be able to zoom out more. And I want to add to this:

The camera is at a fixed height from the ground below it, so if you scroll from a cliff to a drop, your camera drops too. I would like an option to disable that so if you scroll from a cliff to a drop, the camera stays at the same altitude. There are gameplay reasons for wanting to go back and forth this way without flying up and down which is annoying.
