Just an ortho projection but instead of being fixed top-down, it's fixed at 30 degrees from horizontal and (ideally) locked to 45 degree rotations. This would basically give a dynmap-style view for those people that love the isometric style view.

I think it could be constructed from capabilities that BlueMap already has?

This is what orthographic view would look like zoomed out ..

It will never look like a dynmap zoom out, as the lowres lod-tiles are still colored without the ortographic view-angle in mind ..

I might at some point add this just so people stop suggesting it xD
But it really makes no sense for how bluemap works. So this will not have any priority ^^

I will close this issue, as per our contributing guidelines suggestions don't belong here, they belong onto our discord :)

Thanks for the reply. I think you've misunderstood my request though - for me at least, it's not the massively-zoomed-out iso that particularly appeals; the LOD behaviour as in current is absolutely fine where the area outside the middle is low-res textures/heights.

I just love the look of the view when zoomed in and find it a helpful compromise between top-down with no height info at all, and perspective which is a bit more "involved" and requires more spinning around etc.

How did you manipulate the map like that screenshot?? If that works with panning and zooming that's pretty much all I'm after :)

I changed the source-code really quickly to make it look that way, it doesn't work great at all, especially the controls, that would need a lot more work to get right ^^

As i said: I'll implement some form of orthographic view once it fits in at some point .. but it won't be a priority :)
