Default value
0
This is the maximum “lag” between client.eye and client.mob. The mob can stray up to this many tiles before the eye will move to keep it in view. The default value of 0 means that the eye always moves as the mob moves, keeping the mob at the center of the player’s map.
Setting this value to a non-zero value automatically initializes client.eye to client.mob.loc (or to the center of the full map if that is possible). Thereafter, client.eye will stray from the mob as it moves about the map, making one big jump to catch up whenever the mob gets out of range.
client
lazy_eye = 5This setting allows client.mob to move onto the entire 11x11 visible region without changing the value of client.eye. The moment it steps out of this region, the entire region will shift 5 tiles in the direction of motion.
You can assign lazy_eye to any value valid as a view size, so, for example, if you have a non-square setting for client.view, say, “17x11”, you could apply a similar setting to lazy_eye. You can even make one dimension lazy and the other one strictly centered: “0x5”.
