Scrolling around the map

Hi all.

I am running the game on my android tablet, using Firefox and scripts via Tamper Monkey, the game is running fine except I cannot scroll around the map or zoom in and out. So I can only see what's immediately around me! Is there a script or shortcut I am missing to do this, I can only make small jumps, if lots of other bases around me it means I cant move anywhere unless free space that's very close?



Thank you 😊

    (function () {
    const androidHelper = () => {
        if (!window.ClientLib || !window.qx || !qx.core.Init.getApplication().initDone) {
            return setTimeout(androidHelper, 100)
        }
        const region = ClientLib.Vis.VisMain.GetInstance().get_Region();
        const ZoomSpinner = new qx.ui.form.Spinner().set({
            value: parseFloat(region.get_ZoomFactor().toFixed(2)),
            minimum: region.get_MinZoomFactor(),
            maximum: region.get_MaxZoomFactor(),
            singleStep: .1,
            toolTipText: 'Adjust zoom factor',
            opacity: 0.7
        });
        ZoomSpinner.addListener("changeValue", e => region.set_ZoomFactor(e.getData()));
        qx.core.Init.getApplication().getBackgroundArea().add(ZoomSpinner, {
            right: 125,
            bottom: 5
        })
    }
    androidHelper()
})();

    this one's for zoom in/out...
    updates/alternatives will be posted on github.com/ffi82/CnC-TA

    for Right/Left/Up/Down, maybe use the on screen keyboard arrows (i don't know how you can bring it up whenever u need/want it...) ?
    (i don't have a test device yet...)

    stupbbqx2a3f Playing on a tablet isn't a supported platform.

    I've not tried it, but on a PC if you zoom out you can see more of the map.  Is there a way to zoom out in the game as you play it?

    I don't know tablets but the best you can do on android is switch to desktop view.  You can then navigate around by object coordinates and centering the object on your screen.

    Zooming with pinch and stretch doesn't work, neither does scrolling with fingers

    Hi , thank you for your help, I have installed the script and its enabled but I still cannot zoom?

    This is the keyboard, there are no scroll buttons except left and right at the bottom right?

    i believe you can manage your keyboard layout in your tablet settings?

    this is where the zoom spinner should be (no keyboard needed for this):

    update: added directional controls also... moves are not smooth but it works.
    these overlap with Raid Helper button... i'll fix it another day i think (if needed).

    (i don't have true Android tablet to try and implement and test the touch event handlers for smooth navigation instead of using these buttons...)

    edit:
    update again: on my emulator, the Unicode labels were not rendered so i replaced the lebels with icons.
