Implement Adaptive Zoom Scaling for Extended MaxCameraHeight #2350
Description
Prerequisites
- I have searched for similar issues and confirmed this is not a duplicate
Game Version
- Command & Conquer Generals
- Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour
- Other (please specify below)
Bug Description
In Zero Hour, the standard MaxCameraHeight is usually 310. If a modder increases this to allow for higher views, the linear scroll steps become extremely slow.
The zoom increment could scale such that navigating the extended height range 310–MaxCameraHeight requires roughly the same physical effort as the standard range (MinCameraHeight–310). This ensures the camera remains responsive at bird's-eye views without making the close-up micro-management feel twitchy or imprecise.
Reproduction Steps
Start the game with modded MaxCameraHeight (starts to be really noticeable from 700).
Zoom in all the way.
Notice how it can take >10 seconds of scrolling or the user needs a mouse with an "Infinite Scroll Wheel".
Additional Context
Related to #1833, but this specifically addresses the proportionality problem at high MaxCameraHeight values.
