Hi guys, i'm using WZ 2.1 Beta 4. When you complete a skirmish, and select continue game, The Fireworks and screen rotation continue lol. You can control your units though

Any more details let me know

This is not a bug, if the fireworks apeared, you have already won and there are no opponets to fight.
So what do you want to do than ?

It would be cool if there was a button or something to stop the rotating. Sometimes, I want to take some screenshots, or have a look at my allies bases (when we play in LAN), and this rotating screen is really annoying. Maybe spacebar could be a good button for this, because it's also used to toggle the chase camera by default... Does anyone agree?

I do.

Ok so maybe it's not a bug but sometimes I like to just play a little bit more and declare war on my AI Allies lol and watch my defenses massacre thier units. xD
Sorry

Yeah, not a bug, that is by design.

Let me get this straight, you want to wage war on your allies, just because your team won?

/me hardcodes 'EVIL386' into the game, so that when the AI sees your name, they will have no mercy on your traitorous hide!

for god sakes don't hardcode Aivolution to maximum! In the words of Achmed the dead terrorist, "but he will kill us!"

Exactly! I always crushed my allies after the match, so now they insist on playing with fixed alliances

As others have mentioned, there are other reasons for wanting to stop the screen rotation after a victory, such as screenshotting or wanting to take a closer look at things you didn't have time to look at during the game. I propose that the "close" button in the bottom left turns into a button that stops the rotation.

I would also like to see a button that stops screen rotation.

After playing a game for a few hours with a buddy and destroying the computer,
we wanted to fight each other. We spent the next half-hour battling with
dizzying rotation effects. We didn't feel like sitting around for another couple
of hours re-researching everything and building a big army again. We had what we
wanted, right there. It was pretty fun, but a bit hard to navigate the map.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I am not against having a on/off key combo for the rotation, but, if people want to keep playing, that IS a issue. (On 2nd thought, we have lots of key combos already, perhaps a cheat code to turn it off? Or maybe just disable it when person hits ESC or... Hmmm )

Once the win condition has been satisfied, it can't happen again, without modifications to the source.

Pressing Escape brings up a menu. Why not add a "Continue without camera rotation" to that menu? (I know, I know.. GUI :X)
