Idea for AGS: Zoom function in area creation

[Moox]

It always bugs me when im drawing a region or walkable area and fill it but instead fill the whole screen because my line was off by a pixel. CJ, if you have time add a zoom feature to the window.

I'm not CJ, but my suggestion is to
A: use an external editor
B: use the windows zoom tool (or a third party program)

Personally I prefer A, but have had success with B.

Also, if you use an external editor you can save your areas, as AGS has no way to export them as of yet.

Actually, this has been in CJ's to-do list for quite a while. It hasn't been done because, as Hollister Man says, there are easy workarounds.

what is the windows zoom tool, and how i could use it?

Try searching for "Magnifier". If you have XP. If you don't, I don't know.

EDIT - Or maybe "Magnify".

i found it, very interresting function, thx

but my desktop get wired, everytime i use it.

one suggestion for objectplacing:
control object with arrow-keys, or type the coordinates in, cause to fit the exact right place for an overlaying object with the mouse, isnt very comfortable for a friend of alcohol

Accessibility optiont to the rescue!

Go to control panel, you'll find something to make you control your cursor with your keybord under Accessibility options.

im accustomed over years that windows never can help, so i didnt thought in that direction.
