Any way to reverse the camera Z control? It's backwards
I'd like it so that when I scroll my mouse wheel up, it would go to a higher elevation, and when I scroll my mouse wheel down, it would go to a lower elevation. It is totally throwing me off, it feels backwards to me. Maybe I'm just too used to Gnomoria's controls.

The zoom is already working correctly - if I hold control and scroll up, it zooms in, and if I hold control and scroll up, it zooms out. Is there a way to just change the orientation?

Just change it in the keybinds setting, called something like view control +z -z

Move View/Cursor Up Down. You want UP to be mouse 5 and DOWN to be mouse 4 if you want up to go in and down to out

OK, that works but....now it jumps 10 lvls per click. :captainclown:

So it's because move up fast and move down fast are bound to the same thing ( mouse 4 + 5 ). Remove the bindings for *move view cursor down ( z ) fast* for both up and down. There should be a red circle with a line through it on the right to remove the bindings.

I mean.. Who needs to jump ten floors anyway? :D

So maybe it's,y resolution? Not sure if it looks like this for everyone but I couldn't even see that. They all just say "Move view/cursor (up/do/le/ri)"

I did get it sorted though, thanks to your advice to remove the 2 at the end.

Thank goodness, that was really messing with me. The funny part is, that zooming w/in the level is set up "correctly." Meaning you have to switch your brain back/forth depending if you're zooming between levels or zooming w/in the level. yikes :bbtraccoon:

Oh I see what you mean. Yes I can see more text in that menu. What resolution are you playing on? I'm 1920x1080

3440x1440

Probably worth writing up a bug report then. Clearly they need work on higher resolution monitors.

Ah, I figured that "mouse 4" and "mouse 5" would be the browser back and browser forwards buttons. Came here to ask this.

Ah, I found some good advice here concerning the UI/res scaling.

There are two settings for that, there's move one z level up/down and move 10 z levels up/down. Denoted by e and c, and E and C. You have to hold shift and use the scroll wheel for the latter, else it will override the former and cause you to skip when you don't want to.
