[REQUEST] dont change map orientation on death

from Demigod Forums

im pretty ok with the game as it stands now, theres nothing that makes me go "what the heck? who thought X was a good idea?" except for one thing: the way the game resets the orientation of the map whenever i die. this is incredibly annoying. it makes me grind my teeth in irritation every time it happens. i set the orientation a certain way for a reason. leave it alone. or at least make it an option in the settings. please. its making me nuts...

on the up-side, its made me suck less, because its given me a lot of motivation to not die, ever.

Way to look on the upside.  I think that the death animation is okay to change camera angle as long as it resets to how you specified when you are revived.

i dont care what they do with the camera between the time i die and the time i respawn... it can spin in crazy circles for all i care, as long as when i respawn its at the same orientation it was when i died... changing a user-set camera orientation is, in my opinion, one of the worst examples of what i think of as "rude" UI design. every time it happens i want to reach into my CPU and just slap the code silly. its like, "did i tell you you could touch that? do you NEED to touch that, for some good reason? no? then HANDS OFF MY ORIENTATION."

Bump.  This is *really* annoying and it seems like a trivial fix (just remove the code that triggers it, no need to add anything).

Yeah, this has come up several times I think, but I definitely agree.  Please set the camera orientation back to whatever I set it to when I respawn.

Definately agree.

Really annoying having to try and get that perfect camera angle again after dying.
