Thank you!!!
Omg, I can't tell you how much this mod made me happy.

I'm using it well, but after entering the camera mode, I can't turn the screen to the game screen normally. What will be the shortcut?

Just perfect! Thanks :D

Can you please add a feature to invert the middle mouse button game rotatio? That would be perfect! In the game you can only invert the Y-Axis but not the rotation. :)

Not perfect, but still pretty good. Thank you very much

This is pretty cool, but isn't there a way to get rid of the rubber band feeling. I want to click, drag and be done with the moving. Not have it keep sliding as if it was held by a rubber band. What I want is like it works in for example Google Maps. Why does it need to be so hard?

This is an awesome mod which I think would be a great alternative for Camera Positions Utility (CCU) as this one seems to make a smoother transition between the Cinematic Camera (CC) path and the positions set with this mod. Unlike CCU which leads to a slight change in the actual positions when captured in CC. However, when I set a position with this mod, it doesn't save it between game loads, which, based on the description above, I thought it did. Is it supposed to save between loads and does anyone know why it doesn't save for me?

Just started playing today after a nice 10 year hiatus from Sim City 4. Was very dissappointed to find out CSL didn't have a Right Mouse Button Hold 'n' Scroll camera feature available. Thanks a bunch!

So far this mod has worked like a charm as of this posting date.

Does this let you click and drag the map like google maps? If not, this isn't the mod I'm looking for.
Leo_Chan Sep 3, 2018 @ 5:19pm 
Right clicking when upgrading roads or dezoning will trigger the camera movement scroll. There should be a settings option to toggle this.
WalrusPug  [author] Jun 9, 2018 @ 11:24am 
@FajitasCommand stupidly I lost the sources as well as the gitlab account... You theoretically could get the sources by downloading the mod, not starting the client and decompile the dll.

Also, good to know:
- Right click (scrolling) also can trigger the mod "Move it!" Rotate action, but you can turn off scrolling with Ctrl+Shift+O

I'm here to confirm, all functions of this mod works in the latest update, with a lot of other mods installed, the list can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1387847019

This mod is a must-have for me, though be warned that you might dezone huge chunks of city when moving the camera with the right mouse button...
Cru Jun 14, 2017 @ 9:10pm 
dezone while scrolling destroyed my city oO

Great mod...needs a little tweaking...not sure what the game developers were thinking when they didn't address the zooming properly? Middle mouse scroll button just makes sense for zooming not keys...weird...amazing game. Thanks for doing the mod...really appreciate it. I was going to uninstall the game. Just too hard to get around without it.

How do I use this pls help!
xcoder Jun 24, 2016 @ 3:18pm 
I just subscribed to this mod, but it doesn't seem to have any impact within the game. What am I doing wrong?
Blackdragonbird Jun 17, 2016 @ 7:52am 
My gosh, how I missed this jewel for all this time? Superb work man. Very needed indeed.

Subed and rated up already.

Thank you. =)
Yamu(雅牧) Apr 28, 2016 @ 5:03am 
Wonderful mod! but I still have a issue: Why I often skip when I am moving? I want to have a smooth move.
Jimbobbedyjobob Apr 6, 2016 @ 8:43am 
It'd be AMAZING if you could get this to work in the Asset Editor.

I'm working on a large, complex District Theme, and getting uniform Thumbs of all the Assets would be bloody nice.
ggianfra Mar 28, 2016 @ 5:36am 
Thank you for this essential mod!

I would like an inverted X axis for middle click camera rotation. Currently the game only has a Y axis option.
Fritz Oct 16, 2015 @ 7:18pm 
PLEASE add custom keybinds. I really need inverted rotation and left click to pan.
mr.v Oct 11, 2015 @ 8:48am 
It's working fine with After Dark.:steamhappy:
Deadman Oct 7, 2015 @ 1:25pm 
I would also like to know about After Dark
Vantezzle Sep 25, 2015 @ 2:38am 
Is this mod compatible with the After Dark expansion?
Deadman Jun 2, 2015 @ 3:05pm 
Is it now possible for you to add an option to invert the X Axis of the camera? There is an option in the options to invert Y but I want X axis inverted.
Gness Erquint May 24, 2015 @ 7:49am 
I'm familiar with this Sims-style camera dragging but would prefer a grab-the-earth-and-move-it-around functionality much better.
LazyCon May 8, 2015 @ 8:36am 
So I've started using this and it's great, except for one thing. My one computer does the camera positions fine, but my full tower doesn't seem to acknowledge the camera positioning at all. The mouse scrolling works fine, but I really want to do a time lapse on my main tower. Maybe it's a key binding thing. Is there a way to change the key binding?
atomicusroxon Apr 27, 2015 @ 3:03pm 
I'm new to steam and to Cities Skylines. I'm holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouth but it won't do anything, What am I doing wrong?
bartz! Apr 17, 2015 @ 8:11am 
Thanks for the great mod, I made a Time-lapse of city growth with your mod (https://youtu.be/XlIXneOwy1M) . Without this mod it's impossible to make. I Hope you enjoy it!
Wibbb Mar 31, 2015 @ 8:39am 
This is great! Only issue I have is when in the road or zone tool, the right clicking will de zone. If that could be disabled than this is perfect!
derek328 Mar 26, 2015 @ 4:17pm 
@WalrusPug omg it is!! I just tried this and it's amazing, love it!!!
Deadman Mar 26, 2015 @ 2:58pm 
@Walrus, unfortunately I cannot post on the Paradox forum, it won't let me register due to them upgrading the forum. I did Facebook Paradox and received a reply that this suggetion has been noted before my message to them so fingers crossed it may be put into the game. I have spoken to the guy who made the borderlines mod and he says my request is a peice of cake to make and that he will work on it very soon. One way or another, I hope to have this option :)
WalrusPug  [author] Mar 26, 2015 @ 2:10pm 
As for "scroll to mouse" / "scroll to cursor" - I haven't found a good way to get to get the the necessary data ingame to make that feature. And sadly, my time is very limited at the moment. But I would love to have that feature too, so it's definitely comming. Soon™.
WalrusPug  [author] Mar 26, 2015 @ 1:24pm 
@derek328
It's scrolling as in panning the camera. :)
Hold RMB and moving the mouse results in the same behaviour as pressing WSAD.
WalrusPug  [author] Mar 26, 2015 @ 1:23pm 
@Deadman
I looked into it, but there is not much a mod could do here. You could completely rewrite the tilting, unbind the MMB ingame and assign it to your code, but thats... kinda a lot of work.

I can only recommend you to ask the devs to implement a "Invert Camera" feature - via reddit or their forums. I bet you are not alone with this feature-wish so I think it will be implemented sooner or later. :)
Bubbleman Mar 25, 2015 @ 11:59pm 
An Option "jump/scroll to/goto current cursor position at "RMB" would be nice
derek328 Mar 25, 2015 @ 10:25pm 
@WalrusPug Do you mean "Scrolling" as in camera panning? Or zooming in/out of the map?

I would REALLY love it if i could hold my RMB to pan the camera across the map (fowards, backwards, left, right)!!
Deadman Mar 25, 2015 @ 7:59pm 
WalrushPug, any ideas on my question? The game is broken for me without inverted camera controls :(

When I click and hold the mouse wheel (the button within the wheel itself) and move the mouse down, I expect the camera to tilt down, but by default it actually tilts up towards the sky. Same with the x axis, when I click and hold the wheel and move the mouse left, the camera actually tilts towards the right. To me, this is backwards, I would like both settings inverted (or better yet, an option made available). Am I making sense? do you have the skills to do this?
WalrusPug  [author] Mar 25, 2015 @ 12:56pm 
@Aprillion
There's not documentation. Everything I know I found via re-engineering, by decompiling the game libraries with ILSpy...
Aprillion Mar 25, 2015 @ 6:51am 
I am trying to make sense of https://github.com/WalrusPug/Camera-Additions/blob/master/CameraAdditions.cs Scroll method, is there any documentation or source code of the cameraController object or have you reverse engineered it?

I would like to implement drag-a-spot-under-cursor as well as zoom-to-cursor, but for calculating those exactly, it might be necessary to take the current camera tilt into account, not just the camera angle, camera height and mouse distance that are already in your calculations...
SisterFriede Mar 25, 2015 @ 6:28am 
*PLEASE WORK AS I WISH IT SHOULD WORK*
Deadman Mar 24, 2015 @ 6:01pm 
Is it possible to invert the x and y axis of the camera tilt? When I click the wheel to tilt the camera up or down, it goes in the opposite direction to what I want.
someperson Mar 22, 2015 @ 8:57pm 
Would it be possible to just disable right-click de-zoning? There's already a way to de-zone with the left mouse button, so there should be no loss in functionality,
RZ_new Mar 19, 2015 @ 12:37pm 
Yes. Just change MIN and MAX values of scroll wheel (I guess).
Kaamos Mar 19, 2015 @ 10:01am 
You could try integrating the position with another camera, like how the free-flying camera mods do it. It is separate from the in-game camera that CO uses and you can fly/move the camera anywhere even underground through the terrain. That should allow you to precisely reposition that camera anywhere you want to any angle you like.
WalrusPug  [author] Mar 19, 2015 @ 9:53am 
@RZ_MSS
So you would like to scroll continously from street level up to the tile view via mouse wheel?
By tile view I mean the screen when pressing Y where you can buy the next city parts.
WalrusPug  [author] Mar 19, 2015 @ 9:50am 
@Katulobotomia
Yeah, the camera upwards tilting, is a problem I'm aware of since the very beginning. CO does some insane shit when positioning the camera (at least what I can tell from decompiler their stuff) and I cant get my head wrapped around why they do that. When simply reading the camera position and setting the exact same position, that upwards-bobble happens. I've spend hours trying to reproduce their algorigthm - with no luck...

I may find another way to set saved the camera positions, but for now that's not a thing I'm able to fix straight away.
