[NS:S] Commander Viewmode

Zenzou

<div class="IPBDescription">3D Toggleable View Mode (like viewing a 3D model in 3dsMax)</div>Imagine the commander was able to use his or her mouse to look at the battlefield in different perspectives like free-look follow cam in spectator. If building on surfaces other than the floor was enabled then this would be an invaluable way for a commander to get the right angles for building placement. This could also fix the problem that was in NS1 where multiple-level ns maps would prevent the command from building below them.

If not a 3D mode, maybe the ability for the commander to toggle between different levels on the map and then hotkey them. (i.e. SHIFT+1-0) Or maybe the commander would be able to zoom in and out of the map with their mousewheel (if they have it or PGUP/PGDN if they don't) and levels fade out when zooming past them.

This would be an option that would increase the dynamic level-design builds that could be done.

I thought about that too, but in another way.

A simply 3D view like Warcraft III ( and then giving medpacks should be harder <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> ), but could be better for viewing. But, in my opinion, totally useless <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

But it should be great to be able to bind importants areas of the map <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> And of course, if possible, more bindable " things " ( 5 is too short xD espacially with bindable areas <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> )

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

maybe a quickkey that will instantly put the commander on a correct orientation and overhead view...
