Redundant

Status: Redundant
This feature has already been implemented, or is already achievable with existing methods.
Currently, when an object's screen_loc places it outside the boundaries of client.view, the screen's limits are altered to accommodate it. Request: A set of variables to indicate the limit to which the view is allowed to stretch. e.g.

client
    
    screen_limit_min_x = 1
    screen_limit_max_x = 10
    
    screen_limit_min_y = 1
    screen_limit_max_y = 10
    
    verb/test()
        var/obj/o = new
        o.screen_loc = "0,0"
        screen += o // the view will not be altered to accomodate o due to the limiting vars

I'm a bit busy right now, but can you do me a favor and test these two scenarios:


world
    icon_size = 32
    New()
        world.maxx = 50
        world.maxy = 50
        world.maxz = 1
client
    view = "10x10"
    verb
        test1()
            src.screen.Cut(1,0)
            src.screen += new/obj/test1()
        test2()
            src.screen.Cut(1,0)
            src.screen += new/obj/test2()
obj
    test1
        screen_loc = "1:352,1"
    test2
        screen_loc = "1,1"
        transform = matrix(1,0,352,0,1,0)


Let me know if the behavior is consistent for these two cases, would you?

Cheers. The view doesn't stretch in those two scenarios.

Yeah, I'd figured out the transform one when the feature first came out. The large pixel offset one, though, I hadn't tested thoroughly, as I only use it in multiple-map scenarios.

Seems to make sense, though, in a weird sort of way.

To be honest, I'm not sure why anybody would use the 4:16 format when 1:144 would work just fine, and in some cases, be preferable.
