discordmud's Issues

WorldView doesn't resize sprites when zooming in

Pixelizes like one was zooming into a static image; however original sprite images are of higher quality than currently represented on the WorldView when zoomed in. Can be "fixed" by factoring parent zoom into squareWidth/Height functions, however this causes mouse-anchored zoom to no longer work.

The images must be resampled on zooming.

Middle Click to Pan

When working on the WorldFrame where I inherit from QGraphicsView to display a QGraphicsObject (WorldView). I have already implemented the image zoom functionality from this post, and I have tried using their implementation of pan, and have found that it works. However, I want to be able to do the pan without toggling, simply by holding down the middle mouse button and dragging from there.

I've written this code to switch between the two modes (normal and drag), and then call it on mouse(Press/Release)Events.

(in QGraphicsView)

def toggleDragMode(self):
    if self.dragMode() == QGraphicsView.ScrollHandDrag:
        self.setDragMode(QGraphicsView.NoDrag)
        self.pointerMode = PointerMode.Normal
    else:
        self.setDragMode(QGraphicsView.ScrollHandDrag)
        self.pointerMode = PointerMode.Drag

def mousePressEvent(self, event):
    if event.buttons() & Qt.MiddleButton:
        self.toggleDragMode()
    ...
    super().mousePressEvent(event)

def mouseReleaseEvent(self, event):
    if self.dragMode() == QGraphicsView.ScrollHandDrag:
        self.setDragMode(QGraphicsView.NoDrag)
        self.pointerMode = PointerMode.Normal
    super().mouseReleaseEvent(event)

(Sidenote: With the mouseReleaseEvent, I found that I couldn't use event.buttons() & Qt.MiddleButton to check if the middle button was released, so I always check and release in this case.)

However, whenever I try and middle-click and drag, no pan happens. However, I have confirmed this works correctly whenever I use the left mouse button as the binding (i.e. if event.buttons() & Qt.LeftButton: toggleDrag()). There has to be some code in QGraphicsView.mouseMoveEvent() that checks to see if the left button is held AND the cursor is in DragMode. Is there a way to change the keybinding on that deeper level?

EDIT: I just found this link and tried it by doing this (in QGraphicsView)

def __init__(*args, **kwargs):
  ...
  self.STOP_GLOBAL_SCROLLING = 1

But to no avail. Still, it's an interesting lead.
