DR Camera movement

Recommended Posts

When I move the camera using the arrow keys, if I click the RMB, the movement speed increases along the horizontal plane.

 

I can't find anything in the DR docs about moving the camera quickly (I discovered the RMB effect by accident), and I'm wondering if there's a way to get the vertical component of movement included in the speed increase. This has mostly become a need with a tall vertical map.

 

On the other hand, is there a way to select a brush or item in the ortho view and have the camera snap to that position, much like it does when you select an entity from the entity list?

 

Thanks.

Yep, I've been assuming that's a bug-feature (in that it's probably unintented and doesn't completely work right, but is cool when you need it and it does work). Maybe that can be made to fully work.

 

On the other hand, is there a way to...

Yep again: Ctrl-MMB in the ortho view to cause the cam view to jump to that position (within just those axes represented on the ortho).

For the opposite, I select a brush in the cam view, then ctrl-tab three times (I only show one ortho view, so this cycles back to XY or whatever I was using) to center my ortho view on the selected object.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
