RTS Camera
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

I have update the UI to add all the available camera parameters. Some are obvious, other are a bit more obscure.

Let’s enumerate them: Interpolation

  • Rotation : Speed of the orbit smoothing. How fast the camera will reach its new position.
  • Cursor : Speed of pan smoothing. How fast the camera will focus on the new cursor position.
  • Distance : Speed of zoom smoothing. How fast the camera will reach its new distance.
  • Eye : Experimental. Not obvious at first, but you’ll notice a difference when double-clicking on the map.

Zoom

  • In Ratio : Speed of zoom-in.
  • Out Ratio : Speed of zoom-out.

Sensitivity

  • Orbit : Mouse sensitivity to orbit
  • Pan : Mouse sensitivity to pan

Angles

  • Min Horizon : Mininal angle (in radians) when the camera is low (looking at the horizon)
  • Max Dive : Maximal angle (in radians) when the camera is high (looking from above)

Adjustment (The special ones)

  • Pan ratio per distance : Adjustment of the mouse pan sensitivity depending on distance. Leftmost is when camera is far, rightmost is when camera is near.
  • Distance ratio per angle : Adjustment of the distance to the cursor depending on the camera angle.

Enjoy ! And don’t hesitate to provide feedback in comments !
