Telescope view?

Post by Asid »

Hi

I have been wondering if it was possible to introduce a telescope view into SOWWL. It would appear when one uses the zoom function. I know there was a thread on the GB forum: http://www.norbsoftdev.net/forum/modifi ... binoculars .

Is it possible? Any ideas/thoughts?

Regards

Take a black piece of paper that covers the entire screen. Cut a hole in the middle and use the zoom feature. This should do the trick. BZ26V

Well, you got me thinking, and testing, AND, what wouldn't work with GB, works with Waterloo. MyGui made it possible to have telescope views while allowing panning, what the GB engine wouldn't. Telescope views are now available with the Grog Toolbar, version 5.2.

This has been a popular request throughout the years, hopefully I did it justice with this design. Thanks for rattling this old cage Asid, you made this feature possible by just bringing it up. ;)
