[wish] Navigate through map by scrolling

[Pechente]

Many modern input devices like some mice and trackpads support horizontal scrolling as well as vertical scrolling. Since scrolling currently doesn't serve any purpose ingame, it would be great if it could be used to navigate through the map so that this game could take advantage of modern peripherals. Along with this feature there should definitely be an option to invert the movement.

This patch adds the revert-scroll-direction option in the "advanced" dialog. Until it becomes merged one can also change the option "interface/revert_mouse" to 1 in CONFIG.INI.

Concerning scrolling with mouse-wheel or -ball:
Most people are using SDL, and this framework won't support horizontal mouse wheel messages until its next major release. Pechente, if you use Windows and have enough performance to play with WinApi selected, and WinApi does support horizontal mouse wheels (don't know): Feel free to find me some reference and I'll make the code for it.

Thanks for submitting a patch ;) I didn't know SDL doesn't support vertical scrolling, so I guess I'll have to wait for my suggestion to be implemented. I'm playing on Mac OS X and on Bootcamp non of my peripherals that support vertical scrolling work, so there is no way for me to test this feature.

no: vertical-scrolling should work, but horizontal-scrolling does not
