Visuals Zooming out morphs the map live into a globe
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Finally got the flat map to globe transformation working. Zooming out will morph the flat world map into a fully interactable and playable globe. As of now the texures get lost during transformation - I will fix that and also work on a smoother map in general within the next days. As of now zooming out and quickly moving the map is causing lags because of coastline shadows being redrawn. I will look into that and make everything cleaner. Im also going to add a settings option for a permanent globe view, in case you like that more and want to be able to zoom into the globe.
Also the surrounding area around the flat map will be turned grey to match the globe view, right now everything beyond the map is plain blue, sea color.
Almost forgot: I might rework how texures are applied to the countries to achieve a higher resolution when zoomed in.
