from the doc, these are the first things I tought when you asked the question about isometric:
CameraProjMode camera,mode
Parameters
camera - camera handle
mode - projection mode:
0: no projection - disables camera (faster than HideEntity)
1: perspective projection (default)
2: orthographic projection


mode 2 should be what you're looking for.
Camera projection mode 2 is a special type of projection, used for displaying 3D graphics on screen, but in a 2D form - that is, no sense of perspective will be given to the graphics. Two identical objects at varying distances from the camera will both appear to be the same size. Orthographic projection is useful for 3D editors, where a sense of perspective is unimportant, and also certain games.
