#3892 closed defect (fixed)

Camera height should be relative to water level

Description (last modified by elexis)

Currenty, the camera height is only relative to the ground level. So on maps with deep water, it's possible the camera gets submerged suddenly when zoomed in.

And example can be seen on the Golden Island map.

In a less extreme case, the camera can still come very close to the water level, and it's possible to get the camera into some ship.

The camera height should be calculated as being relative to the maximum of the ground and water level

In 19896:

Ensure the camera position being above the water level (without smoothing the water level with the terrain).
