Please have a look at these 2 pictures:
 ^ 1024x768  ^ 1920x1080 Both resolutions display the same scene... at least they should... But in reality, the widescreen resolution doesn't show enough of the map as it hits the camera boundary to early for my chosen zoom. Small clarification: in both pictures the screen is obviously centered on the hero... My settings (modified default camera) CodeCCamera_BorderSizeX 0 CCamera_BorderSizeY 0 CCamera_TargetSmooth_SmoothTimeMax 0.100000 CCamera_TargetSmooth_SmoothTimeMin 0.100000 CCamera_TargetSmooth_VelocityMax 222222224.000000 CCamera_ZoomTable_Param_Value ((0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|21.111111|56.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000)|(0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|30.000000|52.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000)|(0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|26.000000|48.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000)|(0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|22.000000|44.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000)|(0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|18.000000|40.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000|0.000000)) Basically I set the distance from 34 to 21.111111. Is there a way that makes the screen with 16:9 to be able to scroll far enough to see the same area as the 4:3 ration? Can I adjust how much space the camera takes up or do I need to adjust all camera boundaries and shift everything in my map more far away of the edges of the map? Or is the camera just that limited? If yes, that's something Blizzard could improve, too... This post was edited 1 time, last edit by Ahli: Mar 18 2012, 2:36 am. Reason given: added clarification   |

No, different ratios are going to see more or less of a scene.
Here's how ratios work in SC2:  As you can tell, if you try to zoom in the 16:9 to see the same horizontal as the 4:3, it will have a significantly poorer vertical view. A possible remedy (albeit a bad one) is to always assume a 4:3 ratio, and just have black fog/unimportant terrain covering the side edges for 16:9 and 16:10 viewers.

I know that. That applies to an unmodified cameras.
In my camera I zoomed in because people complained about how far away they are from the hero. So I reduced the distance. Now if come close to edge of a camera boundary the widescreen is f*cked because it doesn't show everything. 4:3 ratio however does. |

Ah now I see, widescreen doesn't show the two guys sitting there. Hmmmm. I can't think off the top of my head a way to fix this, I'd say it's something Blizzard could fix.
Red classic. I have mostly left SEN except for the Temple Siege 2 forum (hidden to most of you). I am available via PM still, and Skype as JackRCDF. If it is important to you, you will find a way. Otherwise, you will find an excuse. -Unknown Magnificent! Perhaps you shouldn't be on SEN as much, too... Better than the iPad! |
