Zoom Question

[Servius]

I just got a laptop and I've installed MTW:VI on it and it works great. But...I can't figure out how to zoom the camera in (strategic or tactical maps) because, obviously, the laptop doesn't have a mouse wheel.

I went to the Assign Keys list in the Options Menu but I didn't see any keys there that seemed to have anything to do with zoom level.

Can someone please tell me how to zoom the camera in when I don't have a mouse wheel?

Not sure about zooming, you can drop the camera to slightly above eye level on the battle map by pressing and holding the forward-slash on the number pad (/)... or maybe it's * ? Always get those two mixed up... anyway, one lowers the camera, one raises it, they you have to move the camera's position around to look at what you'd like.

This is just MTW though, I'm not sure if those controls changed for VI...

yeah, but being a laptop, there's no number pad either. Hmm... Anyone else know? Or, better yet, where the option is to change the keys for those functions? I've found the key-binding page in the Options-Controls-Assing Keys page, but I didn't find any there that talked about zooming.

laptop should usually have function keys that allow you to simulate a numeric pad.

okay, cool, I think I found it I'll give it a go.

How did it work out Servius?
