Mouse Zooming choppy

[Invelios]

Whenever I zoom with the mouse, the view moves between increments in a really choppy manner that really bugs me. When I zoom with the Keyboard using Page Up/Down, it looks really nice and smooth. I prefer using the mouse to zoom, but I would like the smooth zooming that using the keyboard gives. Is there any way to make the mouse zooming smooth like keyboard zooming?

You can adjust the mouse move speed and number of increments in the settings, and see if you get something you like. But it will never get the same as the keyboard exactly, it would just get more "floaty" when it gets smoother. This is because the movement of your finger on the mouse wheel causes very intermediate input: every time the mouse wheel clicks, it's sending data to the computer, but between that there's no info sent. So instead of one continuous stream of keydown data as withthe keyboard, you get single events once or twice per second at most. We have options for smoothing between those events, but it winds up making it floaty.

The problem that I have noticed is that it has a different speed zooming in as zooming out and the problem is compounded when I change the settings, makes it quite frustrating. [Do note that I have submitted a mantis report some time ago]

Yeah, that's the sort of bug we're going to be looking at starting next week: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,7533.0.html

ah, ok. Well I actually missed one of the options in the settings window that makes it so using the keyboard zooms in on the mouse, which is one of the reasons I wanted to use the mouse. And the other was that my Page Up/Down buttons are in a weird location on my laptop, but I just replaced the Q and W bindings with zoom in/out, since i never used the pre-defined ones anyways. So I kinda solved my own problem after looking around a bit.

Great!  Glad that worked out, in any case.  We'll still be looking at the other thing next week anyhow.
