Zooming on the z-axis [issue solved]
« on: June 10, 2013, 09:33:20 am »
Hi, I am looking for help. I am a first time player, and I can't change zoom levels. Shift+> does not work, I am on a laptop with hungarian QWERTZ keyboard layout. I asked google first, then I searched these forums but I couldn't find the answer. I checked key binding options but I couldn't change z-axis zooming. Somebody please help me!

Thank you very much.

If you mean alternating which Z-level you are currently viewing (it's only possible to view one at a time, unless you use third-party visualizers), you can rebind the keys by going to ESC->Key Bindings and changing Move view/cursor up/down (z) to something accessible on your keyboard.

If you're just talking about general zooming (i.e., inflating or shrinking the characters on the screen) I believe you can do that with a mouse wheel.

the mouse scroll wheel changes the zoom level. shift+> and shift+< change which level you are actually on. interface.txt in the data\init folder you can change the the hotkeys manually in there.

By default, you can also use shift+5 to move up a z-level and ctrl+5 to move down a z-level.
