Hi devs, can you add to a modern camera drag as in modern RTSs?, AOM and AOE4 have this and it is amazing to save hand movement, specially good for your older audience and to avoid wrist injuries.
Btw Iām not so sure though if this script could be considered cheating, in its github page it is described like this:
*The script demonstrates how to hook into AoE2 memory to read/write directly to camera offsets to enable modern camera drag behaviour with a mouse. Most commonly āScroll Dragā or āScroll Camera Dragā as opposed to edge pan. At thie time this was published AoE2 had no proper camera drag support.
*
I would love to have this feature natively!
When I tried the official drag scroll in AOE2, it was so difficult to use that I went back to edge pan scroll immediately. The improvements to drag scrolling are very worthwhile.
And letās make it easier to do angled edge pan scrolls by expanding the corner area.
Oh yeah, I mentioned that because it uses the technique of writing directly into the gameās running memory. Itās amazing engineering, but Iām not sure if some anti-tampering mechanism might detect it and flag it as a cheat code. I donāt even know if AoE2 has a anti-tampering internally to be honest.
Well the point though is that we want this feature!. and if some awesome dude was able to implement it externally then it is totally possible for the devs to do something alike.
Good point. The game sometimes would have a popup saying tampering detected, even when there is none. It seems very sloppily implemented and didnāt do anything.
and to avoid wrist injuries.
