General Mod Functions:
- Fog normally visible in the game when zooming out is turned off.
- You can zoom a bit further out and in.
- Autosave
By default a autosave will be created every month and a maximum of 3 save will be kept. Saves will be kept separate for every map. This feature leads to a short stutter on the first of every month when the game is saved. This function can be configured via settings.script (look further down). - Supported languages are English, German, Spanish and French.
Hotkey Functions:
- Tab - Hides and unhides the UI
- Print Screen - Saves a screenshot
into the folder "My Documents\Cities in Motion". - F8 - Quicksave.
Saves will be kept separate for every map. The amount of saves to keep can be configured via the settings.script (look further down). By default a maximum of 3 saves will be kept before the oldest will be overwritten by the next quicksave. - F9 - Show-/Hide all lines.
- Shift-F9 - Hotkey to display FPS.
- F11 - Moves the camera into an Oveview-Mode high above the city.
- F12 - Alternative-Camera-Mode
This mode allows you to tilt the camera and when zooming in and out does not change the tilt automatically like the default camera does. It costs a little bit performance when you tilted the camera upwards and therefore this mode should not be used on low-end PC's.
As long as this mode is active the following additional hotkeys are available:- Up-Down - Tilt the camera.
- Shift-F12 - Activates/deactivates the screenshot mode.
CAUTION! This mode costs a lot of performance!
As long as this mode is active the following additional hotkeys are available:- Up-Down - Tilt the camera.
- Shift-Tilt-Keys tilt the camera in smaller steps
in the Alternative-Camera-Mode and the Screenhot-Mode. - Shift-Rotate-Keys rotate the camera in smaller steps
in the Alternative-Camera-Mode and the Screenhot-Mode. - Shift-Mousewheel changes the camera field of view in Screenhot-Mode.
- Shift-Mousewheel-Button resets the field of view.
To change the keyboard shortcuts go to Settings->Controls in the main menu or after pressing ESC during play.
Be informed that the mod will cost you a little bit performance when you zoom out to the max because the maximum zoom out level has been increased. If there is a need for a version with default zoom out level let me know and I will create one.
Configuring the mod via the settings.script file
CAUTION: If you make any mistakes or set the values too optimistic your game might crash!
Compatibility with other mods
This mod will work fine with other mods as long as they do not change the same script files that this mod changes.
Known Issues
None.
