Map won't scroll

On highly elevated tiles around tile 0 the map will not scroll upwards. So my avatar walks out of the viewport.

How do I upload a picture?

The board doesn't support direct uploading but if you can publish it anywhere (imageshack, photobucket...) you can then publish it here using the Img button in the message editor.

Ok, regard the avatar legs in the top of the picture.

Seems like os won't scroll as you get closer to the corners.

Might depend on the design of the map.
For example... how did the character got up there? I am not able to see any ladders going up to that platform...

In this case I used teleport.

I think that this is happening because the scroller can't go back any further than that. In other words the scroller can go up to the top limit of the map (0,0,0) but not over that. It seems like the projection of that "tower" goes way past the origin of the map causing the visual problem.

To better understand this try running the Slopes example coming with the OpenSpace bundle. Once there try teleporting to 0,0 and you will see exactly what I mean.

To solve the issue you should edit your map so that the visible part of the tower stays withing the physical limits of the map. There are many ways to do it: move it down a little, make it shorter or both.
