view

[ayne31]

1. as far as i understood the manual i can only play in 1st person or 3rd person view. fine with me but 3rd person means I look over my toons shoulder and see her only from the knees upwards. if i want to see her down to the feet (which would be usefull while prospecting or fighting small mobs) I have to set the "camera" about 10 meters above her.

this looks *ehrmm* not to mention that the moment i switch to1st person I have to reset again.

2. when starting to extract a source the view switcheds automatically to 1st person. fine with me too but I cant see the window showing the source data then and have to switch back into 3rd person.

3. sometimes I would like to have a look at my toon while she does an action(ground lvl preferred but see 1.) but i still can only do this in the direction she is facing (releasing the mouse button makes the camera move behind her immediately)

Any advice that could help?

1. Use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom out/in, not sure how to do that without a scroll wheel atm.

2. You probably have follow target checked in your config (press u for config but I don't remember where the follow target option is located exactly), I would suggest unchecking it and zooming out your camera (see above).

3. You can also press numpad 0 to reverse the camera (also reverts when you release the key). Another option is the left click and drag the camera view. I know that the camera view holds during fights when set this way, unsure on harvesting.

You can also tilt the camera view by the PageUp and PageDown keys, and numeric keys 1 and 2 will rotate camera view left and right respectively.

Numeric . will center the camera view behind the character; this I use a lot when fighting a mob that has over-run my position and is behind me when I'm attacking.
